he i liable to receive a penitentiary sen
tence ot not more than five yearn, or
a fine ot not more than J3.000, It ho is
fpupd guilty ot the offense with which
he is charged.
In spite ot a popular opinion to the
contrary, the law makes it an offense
for ono to recetvo mall and open It,
when that individual knows that it Is
intended for another person, though the
name ot the addressee and the name
