Young Man Seeks To Punish Those Who Opened Letter
An irate man appeared at the U S District Attorney Hooper Alexander’s office seeking to press charges against two individuals who opened a letter addressed to him. He claimed the letter had been delivered to a boarding house, opened with a sharp tool, and handed to another man. Officials said no federal law covers the act and there is no immediate state remedy, leaving him without clear legal recourse. The man left without identifying himself and with no agreed action.
