WOODRUFF HAS CONFESSED ,
Ho GivoD All the Details of Oronin's
Murder.
WHY THE SEWER WAS CHOSEN.
An Overpowering Hcnso of Guilt
Stole Their Wits Away The
Ghastly Drive by
Night.
Woodruffs fitory.
The most sensational development so far In
the investigation of the Cronln cnso was an
nounced late to-night In the shape of a now
confession by Black , alias Wood ruff , in which
ho tells the whole story of his connection
with Dr. Cronin's murder. It seems ho was
not directly connected with the murder Itself
but simply acted as the driver of the wagon
which disposed of the dead man's bodv ,
Woodruff was taken by Captain Schaak
nnd his men to the scoao of the murder , to
the sewer where the body was found nnd to
the pluco where the trunk was first soon. Ho
gave driving directions to the detectives ,
nnd in every instance located the exact
places.
According to his confession ho was di
rected by those who had charge of that pare
of the conspiracy ( and whoso names Captain
Schaak reserves for reasons that are palpa
ble ) to go to Dluau's stable where ho would
obtain a horse and wagon. Ho was told to
drlvo the outiit to the neighborhood
of the Carlson cottage , nnd also
know for what purpose ho was to
go thoro. Ho arrived at Iho college about
twenty minutes before Dr. Cronin was
( trivon up. Three-quarters of an hour after
Dr. Cronin cntorod the cottage , the man who
Is known ns Williams opened the front door
of the cottage and signalled Woodruff , wheat
at once drove up. Assisted by a third man
the trunk was loaded Into a wagon and
Woodruff was directed to drive eastward to
the lake to n certain point , which Woodruff
has designated to Captain Schaak.
The trunk and Its. contents would have
been deposited In the hike had not interrup
tion coma In the shupo of the approach of a
policeman. This caused a change of plans
nnd immediate steps were taken to got out
of tlio olHcor's way. A circuitous route
finally brought ttiom again to the Evanston
rend , nnd ns they had been driving nearly an
hour with their ghastly load ono of the men
suggested the sewer. They stopped nt Fif
ty-ninth street , the top was taken off the
manhole and the trunk lifted from the
wagon. It was impossible to put the trunk
into the manhole. So as the key had been
lost , tbo top was kicked in and
the body put In the sewer , nnd
the trunk' again placed In the wagon ,
They then started for the cottage intending
there to burn the trunk , but on reaching the
upotAvhcro the trunk was found they heard
the noise of wagon wheels and throwing the
trunk out of the wagon drove rapidly in
another direction. At Fullerton avenue
"Woodruff's companions bode him good-night
nnd loft him.
Iho remainder is devoted to Woodruff's
wanderings in his attempt to sell thd horse
and wagon. Ho also state's there Is nothing
in'tho woman story first told by him. The
names df , King and Fairburn wcro tnoso of
two old friends which occurred to him nt
thu time of his first story. They had noth
ing whatever to do with the case.
. HID SULLIVAN COKl'ItSSl
, The Times this morning printed a story
that P. O. Sullivan has made a full confes
sion and tms given to the police th o names ol
everyone ho know that was implicated in the
inurdon of Dr. Cronin.- Sullivan was neatly
trappqd. Day after day ho has boon sub
jected to the questioning of the ofllcors.
Day uftor day no lied. But no liar lives
who , questioned by different men. at differ
ent , times , can weave u woof of falsehood so
strongly us to make it appear to be truth's '
fabric.
The iceman did not , know that on the very
night that Cronin was murdered the police
took possession of the blood-stained cottage at
187'3 Ashland avenue. Bub such was the case.
The police pumped Sullivan last Thursday.
Ho contradicted himself frequently. Then
they told him their suspicions and gave bin
cnouph truth to show that they know more
than he thought they did.
Next day Sullivan changed his tune ana
tnoio contradictions followed. This lying
continued until yesterday. Then he deoidot
to tell the truth and by so doing save himself
from the fatotlrat surely awaits the slayer !
of Dr. Cronin.
At II o'clock yesterday morning Sulllvau
was taken to Captain Wing's otllco , where h <
was confronted by Captain Schuack uiu
Lieutenant Schuttlcr. Ho confessed ho had
known Dan Coughlin for many years , in-
Btcad of having made his acquaintance
shortly after the murder. The iceman ad
mitted that ho was a member of the Clan-na
- Gaul in uood standing ; that ho was prcsenl
nt Lincoln .hall tro night of March 23 , whcr
Dr. Cionln olllciatcd at the initiation of sev
eral now members of the order ; tha
while in the employ of the North Side
street car company Sullivan became uc-
qualntod with many detectives and police
wen , especially those of the north side ; that
Coughlin was nn ex-street car empjoyo ami
that lie ( the witness ) had worked in the. iron
mines In northern Michigan and at Hancock
Mich. , and hud become acquainted with rcliv
tlvlis of Detective Cuuglilin. Then Sullivan
revealed the whole plot and the names of all
those connected with the great crime.
fa'UI.UVAN'S CONTESSION DENIED.
Iceman Sullivan and the police officials
declare that the statement published thli
morning to the effect that ho had made i
confession laying bare the entire details ol
the plot to murder Dr. Cronin I :
falso. An afternoon paper vrofesse
to have Information to the effect tha
nothing like a swooping confession was HC
cured from him. An admission , It is said , wa
obt.ilne.1 that ono of the men who hired Curl
son'H cottage had sought work fiom him
nnd hud been frequently about his place
that ho told this young man of the terms o
the contract with Cronin , and that the youni
luiin could have secured ono of his cards hai
ho so desired. Itylll bo vomcuibnrcd tha
o'uo of Sullivan's curds was used to lure Di
Ciouln froui his home.
SULLIVAN'S aun.T.
Before the ( -rand jury to-day the- count *
tlon of Iceman Sullivan- with the Croni
mystery w.is made absolute. The man Car
sen , the owner of the building , testified thu
the man who called himself Frank William
end ranted the coltugo went over to sc
Sullivan , the iceman , and tull'od famlliarl
with nil" . As tho'20th of April npjirouche
nnd rent day was coming near , Car
son thought it strange the tenant di
not occupy Uio promises. Hu stepped eve !
to Sullivan , spoke of the tenant's queer cot
duct and remarked that ho felt somewlw
unxloilu about the rent. Sullivan told hli
Williams was all right and would ray.
Sullivan l'i his previous statements to tl :
police denied knowing Williams.

trgducol to prove a conspiracy , and Di
Croum'ii private papcrj were not placed b <
fore the grand jury ,
The witnesses who wcro called were thos
whoso stories have been told In the pros
Btatu's Attorney Lon noucer thought it a
YUablo to tighten tha colU lutu whlcti tl
three prisoners had already been drawn , and
fasten them with Indictments , probably to
prevent any attempt to secure the release of
ono or more of them on ball. The grand jury
took only ono vote after hearing the wit
nesses , nnd that was unanimous for Indicting
all thrco prisoners. States Attorney Long-
necltor said to-night that no mention of Clan-
na-Gaol affairs had boon made In the jury
room. The charge of conspiracy and Dr.
Cronin's papers will bo takou up later , prob
ably before another grand jury.
TUB coiio.vnii's ' JUIIT.
The coroner's Jury , after Inspecting the
blood-stained cottaga in Lake View and tha
Bower manhole in which Dr. Cronin's body
was found and other places connected with
the case , returned to the city and adjourned
till to-morrow.
iiKTEcTivn nnucr.'s stonv.
The Chicago Dally News has the follow
ing : "Detcctivo Hobort Brucewho has been
conducting a private agency In this city ,
walked Into Lieutenant Elliott's ofilco this
morning , and. said that several months ago
Alderman McCormlck offered him
51,100 to kill Dr. Cronin. Bruce , who
him just returned from a thrco
months' stay In Texas , says McCormlck paid
him $100 in advance and agreed to pay the
remaining 1,000 when the job was done.
Bruce declares McCormick told him to feign
sickness In his ofllco and then send for Dr.
Cronin and kill him. Bruce says ho took the
$100 , spent It for liquor and never made a
move toward carrying out the contract.
Bruce boars a rather unsavory character ,
and the police do not place any reliance in
his story. Ho has been hi numerous scrapes
In this city.
ANOTUBK FIND.
Mrs. Hamburgher , a widow living at 1512
Dlvorsy street , has turned over to the police
articles of clothing which may have be
longed to Dr. Cronlu. Her two boys , aged
nine and eleven years , while playing in tha
woods on Sunday , nbout a mlle from where
Cronin's body was found , found In the
bushes n woolen undershirt , a pair of draw
ers and a vest. Nothing was found in the
pockets to aid in the identification , and from
tno fact that the clothing was scattered about
it is supposed it had previously been over
hauled. The boys did not tell their
mother of the discovery until that night.
On he.iring it she sent thorn b.iok to got the
clothing nnd notified the police. Captain
Schauk's men , she claimed , cautioned her
and the boys not to say a word about the
Ond to anyone , nnd it only leaked out by
nccidont. A reporter called on Mrs. Ham-
burgher to-inirlit , but she said she hnd been
instructed not to talk. The police officials
were equally mute.
couminN's oniT.
Nobody is imy longer discussing the possi
bility of Coughlln squealing. Thu ex-dotect-
ivo has plainly defined his platform. Upon
being urged to tell all ho know , ho replied
in these words :
"I am innocent and know nothing , but if I
were guilty and did know anything , I would
die before I would toll It. "

NEW YOHK , May 28. At the regular meet
ing of the municipal council of the Irish Na
tional league , to-night , the following was
adopted :
Resolved , That wo most emphatically con
demn the brutal murder of Dr. Cronin ; that
wo repudiate the calumnies that seek in any
way to mvolvo the Irish National league , its

ulorlng this great/ crime , wo express our

FAVORS HIGH LICENSE.
Cardinal Gibbons Decidedly Opposed
to Problb'tinii.
BALTIMOK * ! , Moy 28. Cardinal Gibbons is
an earnest advocate of high license. In a
communication on the subject ho says :
"I am decidedly ouposcd to prohibition as
a means of preventing intemperance because
it docs not prohibit. Experience has shown
that in these states where prohibition has
boon tried It is not an effective moans of
preventing the vice of drinking. Prohibition
is to bo discouraged also , because it con
founds the drunkard with those who use
liquor in moderation , making out sin where
thcio is no sin. The only place where pro
hibition might bo enforced are thickly settled
country districts. I regard high license , with
moial sanction , as the most efficient way of
diminishing the drinking vice. In order to
make high license effective only a limited
number of licenses should bo issued for each
ward and they should bo given , only to per
sons of good reputation. "
The cardinal is also in favor of a severe
Sunday law prohibiting the sale of liquors
on Sunday , and would have it rigidly en
forced.

She arrived in the city Sunday , but refused

She said her name was Mrs. Hinohart , of

513 FOURTEENTH STIlUlir ,
WASHINGTON , D. C. . Muy2S. I
The unusual qdlctudo which prevailed in >
every part of the city made this a good Jay ,
for the gosslpors. Most of them confined
their attention to the withdrawal of the ap
pointments last night of Generals Low Wal
lace aud Beverly Tucker as special envoys
extraordinary to Iluyti. It was reported
during the morning that General Wallace ,
who was n member of the court which con
victed Miss Surratt aud othftrs for com
plicity in the assassination of President
Lincoln , nnd hoard thq charges of a similar
character against General Tucker , had pro
tested agntnst the latter being on the com
mission , but that is denied. It is tno general
belief that the war record of Tucker
brought about the withdrawal of the ap
pointment , and that It Is permanent. It was
intimated in official circles that Information
hnd been received at the state department
which may mnko the expedition to Haytl
unnecessary. General Wallace stated to your
correspondent that ho had not sought the ap
pointment , did not care for it , and unless It
was shown that his services wcro especially
advantageous to the government ho would
not accept. The appointment of Tucker was
a surprise in many quarters , and brought out
considerable severe criticism on the part of
ex-union soldiers. Besides being charged
with conspiracy in the Lincoln assassination.
Tucker was so nearly successful ns a special
agent for the confederacy to England in the
last years of the war that ho would have
brought the queen's government in line
against the United States had the conflict
lasted sixty days longer. Ho is an accom
plished diplomat , well acquainted with
Haytl und the questions Involved , anil for
these reasons was selected. His war re
cord was overlooked at the tlmo of the ap
pointment.
I'ETnilS' COMMISSION.
Captain John Peters will receive his com
mission as collector of internal revenue col
lector for Nebraska in time to tnko charge of
the ofllco with the incoming of Juno. It was
issued , as announced exclusively by a lien
special , on last. Friday , the 2-lth Inst. , but
there was n llttlo delay In getting it into the
mail with instructions for thopresont incum
bent to release the ofllco and the now officer
to take hold. Captain Peters' appointment
is referred to at the treasury department nnd
white house as u very excellent QUO , and ho
is expected to give good satisfaction. Sena
tor Paddock backed by the entire delegation
from Nebraska to congress , made a persistent
and determined fight for an early change
and Peters' appointment , and considering
the mountainous heap of business in the
treasury department and white house , his
success-is unusual.
CANADV W1I.L I'HOllAllI.V STAY.
Republican senators who had the ques
tion bluntly put to them , say that there is
no probability that the state senate will bo
reorganized next winter. All allusions to
the reorganization of the senate have appli
cation only to the displacing of Sergennt-at-
Arms Canady. There will bo no other ob
ject in reorganizing the senate. The only
thing that has over been brought up-against
Canady was the charge that ho had not been
just in the disposal of his patronage , and
that ho had been unsuccessful In some busi
ness transactions which involved the inter
ests of senators. The latter final
ly took the shape of a suit in
court , but that has been withdrawn , to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned , and the
senators in question have assured Colonel
Canady that they were not his personal ene
mies , and that they would not advocate a
reorganization of the senate for the purpose
of displacing him. C oloncl Canady was
given his position through the influence of
Senutor Sherman , and that distinguished
statesman has lost none ot his faith in the
scrgeant-at-urms. If nn effort was made to
reorganize the senate for the purpose of dis
placing Colonel Cnnady there uro senators
who say that the senate would have to bo
completely reorganized , and that Secretary
McCook would be displaced along with the
scrgcaut-at-nrms.
OXI/i OFFICE-SECKEI1S' TAI.rf.
All of the talk about the dissensions
among the cabinet ofllcors and between them
and the president have como from office-
seekers. They believe that the president
dictates every appointment ; that the cabinet
officers certify them for appointment as soon
us they present their papers , nnd the only
theory they can advance as to why appoint
ments are not made is that there is a "cool
ness" or "difference1.1 between the president
and the cabinet.

SOUTH END , May 20 , 1SO : a. m. [ Now
York Herald Cable Special to THE Br.E.J
A good brcozo greeted the yachting enthu
siasts at Harwich yesterday morning , ns the
yachts , competing in the Channel match
from Harwich to Southcnd , maneuvered
for position. *
The race was for the Anbury cub and the
club's pri7ca , amounting to JEOO ; llrst prlzo ,
40 ; second priro , 20 ; and an extra prlzo of
10 was offered for the third ; the
regulations being that it bo sailed for by
yachts In orulslng trim , of any rig exceeding
fifteen tons , the tlmo allowance for rig and
rating to bo according to the Royal Yachting
association's rules , and four to start or no
second prlzo.
The harbor was ullvo early with sailing
crafts of various kinds , and bronzoa boatmen
paddled and skulled in their little dingles
hero nnd there betwixt and between the
yachts lying at anchor. The frowsy
old pier was profusely nnd gaily
decked with many-colored buntings , which
flapped und floated jauntily in a breeze , that
the most weathcr-wlso old cronies predicted
would last.
Punctually at 8 o'clock the gun fired , and a
brilliant start was made by the fleet of com
petitors as follows : Dccrhound , Yarann ,
Vulkyric , Irex , Amphitrito , Mohawk , und the
Vreda. Away they went , the Vulkyno slightly
leading , the Irex astern nnd to leeward of
her , each ono fetching clear out of the har
bor. The eager crowd walched thorn dlsap
pear in the sparkling breczo.
Around the Muplin buoys and lighthouse
the Irex led , followed nt some distance by
the Yarana nnd the Valkyrie , closely chasing
ono another.
"It's n regular Irox day and she'll win in a
cantor , " was the general opinion of the eager
crowd , who scanned the race from every
point of vantage as long' ' as. they could see
anything of it.
A strong head wind was most needed to
test the Valkyrie's powers. She had it , and
was terribly beaten in the fifty milo run to
Southend pier.
A group of English yachtsmen awaited the
yachts ns. ono by one , they hove in sight ,
from the charmingly situated grounds of the
Yacht club nt Southend. The Irex was the
first to cross the line , and her time from the
end of the pier Wi-,8 , 3 hours , U minutes and 44
seconds. The Yuruna. followed in 3:25:23 : : ;
then the Valkyrie came ftblrd , in 3:20:22 ,
hoplcssly beaten by the IcbV , and owing the
Yarana a time allowance , Jivhlch placed her
a bad third. | '
The Mohawk arrived In 4:12:57 : : ; whilst
the Amphitrito was regarded out of it. The
Vreda did not start. The wind blew fresh
from the southwest , nil day , and neither of
the winning yachts carried topsails.
At the finish the Herald representative in
terviewed some members of the Alexandria
Yacht club , who seem to' bo unanimous in
their opinion that it will bo useless to send
the Valkyrie to compete for the American
cup , since she has been beaten by the
Yarana. "For , " said ono gentlemen , "tho
Yarana could never come near to beating the
Thistle. "
There seems to bo a general disappoint
ment at yesterday's result , nnd unless there
is some satisfactory explanation of the Val
kyrie's collapse , It is thought by some to bo
improbable that she will bo sent to "Now
York. Some Southcnd exports nro of the
opinion that the yacht was too heavily bal
lasted and they still thln&sha is good in a
light wind against all coiners.

TUB Uin.j : Tno decision nf the executive
board of the Inter-State Commerce Hallway
association , on the request of the Alton and
Burlington , for a reduction of the lumber
rate from Chicago to the Missouri river was
made public to-day by Chairman Walker.
The decision is an extremely voluminous
ono nnd refuses the request for the reduced
rate. The summing is ns follows :
Wo do not feel Instilled in authorizing tlio
Chicago & Alton , and Chicago , Burlington
& Qulucy companies to make the proposed
reduction to 10 cents per 100 Ibs. Such a
stop would greatly disturb the lumber rotes
of all the lines and would almost inevitably
result in great loss , oven to some which nra
not Involved in the controversy. It would
probably bo mot by reductions on the part of
the southern lines , which could not bo confi
dently afllirmod to bo altogether
unjust. It would , no doubt , for
a time , afford increased tonmic-o
to the roads , which are seeking it. but tonnage -
nago without profit Is of no vuluo except for
advertising and statistical purposes ; and to
inflict direct losses upon the income of asso
ciated lines for the purpose of making nu ex
hibit of largo tonnage , when no not revenue
above exjionsos is in sight , would bo consist
ent , neither with the principals of this asso
ciation nor with an ordinary consideration
for the rights of others. Whoa business
conditions have become so changed that
traffic can not bo handled save ut a unramun-
orativq rate the abandonment of the , truftlo
should bo seriously considered. To insist
upon taking it , without profit , merely for the
sake of maintaining its possession is hardly
business like , nor is a justice to competitors.
The proposed 10-cent rate would prac
tically bo a war rate and onlv justifi
able as such. It is the part
of wisdom to count the cost poforo taking ,
the swora. A conflict is proposed , which
may entail losses upon the various contest
ants amounting to millions of dollars , nnd
which , after all. can only bo settled upon
such n plan as that which Is above referred
to. The executive board regards the pro
posed 10-cont rates as utio which is not justi
fied by existing circumstances , which would
bo of no practical or substantial advantage
to the roads which ask it ; which would in
vite immediate reductions by the southern
roads , and this would neutralize itself ; and
which would work great injury to other lines
in this association. The finding , therefore. ,
is that the rate can not bo properly author
ized.
ized.VicePresident MoMullin , of the Alton ,
was seen this morning and said no action
would bo taken in the matter for two 91-
thrco days. In answer-to a question ho said
the Alton was still of the same mind. As ho
has repeatedly said , "tho rate would bo
established in any event , " his answer was
easily translated. The decision of the com
mission proposes a compromise rate of WM
cents. Mr. McMullin said the Alton would
not compromise. Ho also said the demand of
the. Alton for a division of the live stock
traffic would bo pushed bcforg Chairman
Walker.
Ho added : "If our proposition is not given
wo propose to tnko it. Yesterday , for in
stance , the St. Paul took twenty-five cars of
live stock out of Kunsas City and we didn't
got a car , although our line is shorter and
bettor. Wo propose to stop that kind of
business. "
It is the general opinion amonjr Chicago
railroad men that the Alton will withdraw
from the famous Projidonts' association.

THE Bnc.J The second day's hearing of the
complaint of the Chicago board of trade
against the western railroads , charging dis
crimination in maintaining rates higher on
live hogs than on the dressed products , was
hold , to-day , before Judge Cooley , Colonel
Morrison and General Bragg , of the fntor-
State Commerce commission. What may
prove exceedingly sensational testimony was
given by J. C. Hately , of Chic.ign. Ho said
on the witness stand that the shipments of
live hogs to Chicago was not more than half
enough to keep all the houses running.
The packers had , therefore , to avoid squab
bling , established percentages of all ship
ments so that each could get his share.
Several packers wore on the stand and
g.ivo testimony us to tlio extent of their busi
ness. The hearing was postponed , this even
ing , the commission going to Jefferson City.
Thursdnv , they will "continue the hearing In
Kansas City , and possiPly return to Chicago ,
Frmay or Saturday. Before this departure
Chairman Cooley said in answer to ques
tions : " \Vo will take no action on the coal
and coke rate manipulations of the St. Paul ,
Northwestern , Hock Island and Wisconsin
Central in favor of Ellsworth & Co. , unless
some ono makes a complaint. Wo may take
action against the packer who attempted to
bribe the inspector to return false weights.
I would not decide off-hand whether It would

sociation is a private schema of the railroads
with which wo have nothing to do. "

THE llnr. 1 Definite advices from Haytl by
the steamer Ornngo Nassau confirm the pre
vious rumors of disaster to Logltlmo's forces.
General Hippolytc , nt the head of his army ,
Is now marching on Port-au-Prlnco , the
Ilaytlon capital , and tno last sccno In the
prolonged struggle forsuprcmacy in the llttlo
island Is nbout to close in favor of tha north.
Already two of Lcgltlmo's generals have
abandoned their posts and fled. Tlio south
ern army is almost totally disorganized and
a complete state of anarchy exists In the cap
ital. The papers published at Port-au-Prlnco
and L'Averlto , Legitlmo's owfn orgauaro full
ot conflicting reports , and the situation
is freely commented upon. The general
feeling among merchants in New York nnd
the Haytlcn trade is that the revolution In
Iluyti is practically at an ond. It Is not
thoucht , however , thatlllppolyto would per
mit his army to enter the town of Port-au-
Prlnco.
"Ho is not that kind of a man , " said ono
merchant. "Ho knows that if his soldiers
once got within the city no power could
withhold them from sacking it in the most
cruel manner. All Hippolyto wants Is the
wlthdiuwal of Lcgltlmu from the island.
That will now probably occur very soon. "
General St. Flour Is now the only general
Lcgltlmo has loft outside of Port-au-Prlnco.
St. Flour is in command of 200 mnn or so.aml
is entirely cut off ftom Port-au-Prince by the
forces of Hippolyto. There are four mon-of-
war in the harbor of Port-au-Prince two
British nnd two French.
Hofcrring to the withdrawal of the Haytl
appointments by the president last night ,
the Herald this morning says : "Tho real
reason for this coup d'etat is withhold from
everybody except the Herald. Hippolyto
had already assured bur governmentthrough
an unofficial source , that ho would bo glad to
offer to the United States the privilo.ro of a
naval station at Mole St. Nicholas , which
would give us coveted nnd decided ndvnnt-
ngcs. Ho also said ho would bo happy to
draw the tics closer by additional treaty priv
ileges nnd render more intimate the relations
of the two countries. After the appoint
ments had been oniclnlly announced the
news reached the state department from the
consul nt Capo Huytlen that the ultimata
triumph of Hippolyto's forces was now as
sured ; that it was only u question of n few
days when ho would bo master of the situa
tion , and that Lcgitnno would bo compelled
to surrender or flea the country. The object
which' the administration had in sending out
this commission of special envoys to Hip
polyto at this tlmo would not lu all proba
bility exist two weeks houco.tmd the instruc
tions under which they might now depart
would bo useless on their arrival at Capo
Ilnvtien. Until the state department has
further information ns to the status of the
contest in Haytl , it is deemed advisable to
cancel the appointments and to regard the
purpose of the commisson as only one in con
templation. "

upon by well Informed pcoplo ns certain
that the French and Logitimq governments
have como to nn understanding whereby , in

body of Maybrlek , whoso death is supposed
to have been caused by poison administered

do this she dropped the letter in the mud.
In. opening the letter with tlio intention of
placing it in another envelope she noticed it
contained a number of endearing words , the
following particularly attracted the atten
