Foresman Postmaster Sentenced To Atlanta Federal Prison.

Marion Pierson, former postmaster at Foresman, was sentenced to two years* imprisonment in the federal prison at Atlanta. The brief mention of this in today’s Indianapolis Star seys that, the offense was “refusing to remit government funds.” The fact that Pierson comes from one of the very best families in this part of'the state, makes the sentence a very sad one.
