Former Ames resident Burnell faces jail for postal scheme
O. F. Burnell was sentenced to 1400 dollars in fines and six months in Poweshiek county jail for sending theater State Tracer through the mails. Judge Woolson remitted all but 400 dollars on good behavior as Burnell once lived in Ames from 1873 to 1876 and engaged in multiple litigations over his schemes. Marshalltown Times-Republican defended Burnell, calling the offense a technical postal-law evasion and noting persecution by debtors.
