Conscience Money Sent To Local Merchants In Postal Plot
On Friday afternoon gifts arrived at Central and Model dry goods stores and from Moxsra Doll Brothers in an envelope containing money wrapped in paper marked with the word conscience. Haller received $15 including a five and a ten, Hendrickson $6, and Doll $15. Postmarked Frederick dated Friday 2 PM, the letters offered no clues to sender. The writing appears in the same hand, likely by a woman, with no disguise. Merchants are at a loss to explain the strange acts.
