United States Commissioner Marley this morning bound over to the federal Brand Jury Dr. E. Arthur Carr. secretsry of Governor Shallenberger's State Board of Health, who Is charged with opening mail belonging to Dr. Sward, secretary of the old board. Dr. Carr was represented by T. J. Doyle. His bond was fixed at $500, which he furnished. Dr. Carr's defense was that he held an order from the assistant postmaster at Lincoln telling him he was entitled to open Dr. Sward's mall. It was brought out that this order was written after he had opened the letters complained of. Dr. Carr opened two letters which had been written by Dr. Johnson, another mem ber of the old board, to Dr. Sward. On the stand he said he opened the letters because as secretary of the new board, he believed they contained official Information to which he was entitled. Furthermore, he produced a statement from the assistant United States attorney that he was en titled to the mall addressed to the secretary of the board until the court decided the law under which he was appointed was declared unconstitutional. Attorney General Thompson testified that he had advised Dr. Carr not to open the letters but to take tha advice of the pos tal authorities In the matter.
