​This is the Zodiac speaking.
I am the murderer of the taxi driver over by Washington St & Maple St last night, to prove this here is a blood stained piece of his shirt. I am the same man who did in the people in the north bay area.
The S.F. Police could have caught me last night if they had searched the park properly instead of holding road races with their motorcicles seeing who could make the most noise. The car drivers should have just parked their cars and sat there quietly waiting for me to come out of cover.
School children make nice targets, I think I shall wipe out a school bus some morning. Just shoot out the front tire & then pick off the kiddies as they come bouncing out.

Mr. Justice STEWART.
I think it is established that 'this Court has power to afford relief in a case of this type as against the objection that the issues are not justiciable,' and I cannot subscribe to any possible implication to the contrary which may lurk in Mr. Justice HARLAN'S dissenting opinion. With this single qualification I join the dissent because I think Mr. Justice HARLAN has unanswerably demonstrated that Art, I, § 2, of the Constitution gives no mandate to this Court or to any court to ordain that congressional districts within each State must be equal in population.

# Wild Nature Won by Kindness/Jay

The Jay.
THE JAY.
After a year or two my poor jay met with a very sad fate. A garden-party was to take place, and knowing the jay's terror of any unusual noise or upstir, I carried his cage to a quiet room where I hoped he would be quite happy and hear nothing.
I, however, did not happen to notice that, later on, the band had established their quarters near this room, and I suppose the unwonted sounds ​drove the poor bird into a wild state of terror, and that in his flutterings he had caught his leg in the bars of the cage; anyway. I went up about the middle of the party to see how my pet was faring, when I found him in utter misery clinging to the bars, his thigh dislocated and his leg hopelessly broken. It was a mournful duty to carry him away to merciful hands that would end his torture by an instant death. For many a day I missed that bright, handsome birdie who had always a welcome for me and the offer of such hospitality as his cage afforded.
# Wild Nature Won by Kindness/Preface

Preface to the Fifth Edition.
wo short chapters, one describing the life of an Ant-lion, and the other the habits of a tame Toad, were added to the second edition, which was in other respects a reproduction of the first.
The present edition has been improved by the adoption of a number of illustrations which were designed for the German translation of this book.

Mr. H. Cheetham, in continuation.—p. 96.
3. What is the market-day at Manchester?
The principal market-day is on a Tuesday.
4. At what time does the mail arrive at Manchester?
At four in the afternoon.
5. Do the foreign letters arrive in time for the market?
All the foreign letters arrive at a time when the market is over.
6. If the mail could be expedited six hours, would that be a great advantage?
​ It would be a great advantage in this respect: all the country manufacturers who attend the market, the foreign letters not coming in, in time to be delivered that morning, are obliged to stand over until next market-day; the country manufacturer sometimes loses the order, and it is obliged to be given to a Manchester manufacturer.
7. Has this circumstance for a long time been the subject of complaint?
Very much so.
8. If six hours were saved in the communication between London and Birmingham, do you contemplate that great advantage would result to Rochdale, Halifax, Bradford, and Leeds?
Yes.
9. Have you also a great communication between Manchester and Glasgow?
A good deal.
10. The saving of time between Birmingham and London would be a saving of time between Birmingham and Glasgow?
The Glasgow mail leaves Manchester an hour after the London mail comes in.

# Inland Transit/Dillon

Mr. John Dillon.—p. 165.
1. Are you a silk manufacturer in the city of London?
Yes.
2. Are you in partnership with Mr. Morrison, the member for Ipswich?
I am.
3. Have you long been extensively engaged in the Coventry and Manchester trade?
For some years.
​4. How are the great mass of the labouring population of Coventry employed?
Chiefly in the manufacture of ribands.
5. Do almost all these manufactures come to London?
A very large proportion.
6. What proportion?
Nine tenths, I should say.
7. In the article of riband, is a correct and speedy communication with the market desirable?
It is quite indispensable; it is a fancy article, and depends on fashion, so much so that they are always sent by coach, which is an expensive mode of conveyance, except by waggon or wharf.
8. Is it necessary to hold frequent personal communication with the seat of manufacture?
It is very desirable.
9. Have you ever been inconvenienced in consequence of the inadequacy of the present conveyance for that purpose?
We have been inconvenienced in this way: if we have an order for a general assortment of goods, and we happen not to have ribands, for sample, we are obliged to keep the whole of the goods until we write to Coventry; it now requires two days and nights before we can write to Coventry and get the supply that we require.
10. If you had the accommodation to write to Coventry and receive an answer in the evening, would that be a great advantage?
A great advantage to our business and to all our customers generally; a particular advantage to London, where the coaches leave in the morning and few in the middle of the day, to be able to receive an article from Coventry within the twelve hours; if it be only thirteen, one hour more, it compels us to wait till the next morning, the twenty-four hours.
12. From experience, you have no hesitation in stating ​ that the Railroad would be an immense gain to your trade, and trade generally?
I have no hesitation in saying the gain to our trade, and to trade generally, would be very great.
# Inland Transit/Earle

Mr. Hardman Earle, Director of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.—p. 18.
1. Are you a merchant at Liverpool?
I am.
2. Are you a Director of the Liverpool and Manchester Railroad?
Yes.
3. How long have you been so?
For the last three years.
10. Do you know a house in the neighbourhood of Liverpool called Spekeland?
Yes; it belongs to my mother.
​11. How near is it to the Railroad?
Five or six hundred paces.
12. What is the size of that house?
It is a large mansion.
13. What did it cost building?
The house and grounds about 12,000l.
14. Have you experienced any inconvenience from residing in that house since the Railway was constructed?
I have not resided there myself; I have been there of course very frequently, and I can say no inconvenience whatever has been expressed.
15. Are the grounds infested by people in consequence of the passage of the locomotive engine?
No.
16. Is there any thing offensive in it?
Nothing whatever.
17. Is there any smoke?
None whatever.
18. Is there any noise?
No; you can hear when the carriages arrive; it is rather an object of interest to persons residing there.
19. Do you know other houses of considerable extent in that part?
I know several; I visit them.
20. Are you able to say whether the inhabitants of those houses are annoyed?
I am enabled to say they do not consider them a nuisance; I have been there, and I should not have been aware of it if I had not heard of it.
31. At the commencement of the undertaking of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad, were you, or were you not, a determined opponent of that measure?
Yes; my mother was a petitioner against the Bill, and I appeared as evidence against it.
32. From all you have subsequently seen you, would no longer oppose the construction of Railroads at all?
​ I certainly should not; my opinion is entirely changed, from what I have seen.
33. Are you of opinion that the construction of a Railroad between Birmingham and London would be of great public utility?
Yes, undoubtedly.
36. Do you know of any instance in which this Railway has gone through farming land, in which the value of that land has been raised or depreciated?
Wherever there is any thing like a station it is improved in value; you see advertisements recommending a site because the Manchester and Liverpool line runs near it or through it.
38. Do you know of any instance in which land has been depreciated?
No. I do not; I think I can say positively not on the line of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

# Inland Transit/Creed

Mr. Richard Creed.—p. 177.
1. Are you the secretary to the London and Birmingham Railway Company?
I am.
2. Have you examined the information and evidence supplied by Mr. Hart, Mr. Holman, Mr. Shackel, Mr. Partridge, Mr. Attenborough, and Mr. Warner, of the traffic on the road by coaches, posting, canal boats, &c.?
Yes.
3. What do you calculate that the conveyance of the different articles and persons would amount to at Railroad prices?
At Railroad prices it would amount to 244,858l. 8s. 10d.
4. Is that calculation made on the prices inserted in the schedule of tolls to be taken by the proposed Act?
It is.
5. Have you looked at Captain Moorsom's calculation as to the coach traffic of passengers by Railroad prices?
I have.
​6. How much is that?
246,9161. 16s.
7. Is that calculated at two-pence a mile for each passenger, as proposed to be levied by the Act?
It is so stated in Captain Moorsom's account.
8. In that statement is there any estimate of parcels conveyed by the coaches for the intermediate distances?
There is no allowance.
9. Only the parcels from Birmingham to London, and from London to Birmingham?
Only there.
10. Is there any calculation for goods and parcels that come by vans and carts?
None.
11. Are the goods that come from Liverpool and Manchester. Derbyshire and Leicestershire, and the surrounding counties, included?
There is no allowance made for them, and there is also no allowance made for the increase in the carriage of meat, fish, dairy produce, eggs, and garden produce.
12. Have you examined the evidence given by Mr. Earle, Mr. Moss, and Mr. Booth, relative to the increase of traffic on the Liverpool and Manchester line?
Yes. I have.
13. Taking this evidence as your data, what do you calculate would be the increased traffic on the proposed line of Railroad?
Mr. Booth states that the increase has been in the ratio as to passengers of 1200 to 450; it may be assumed, therefore, that the number of passengers by the London and Birmingham would be doubled.
14. Then you take it in a less proportion than the actual increase?
Mr. Booth's statement is nearly in the proportion of three to one; I have taken it as two to one.
​15. Upon that assumed increase on the actual calculated traffic of goods, passengers, and parcels, what do you make the aggregate amount of revenue derived from these sources?
738,692l. 0s. 10d.
16. Was the paper that you hold in your hand drawn up by yourself?
It was.
17. Does it contain the result of the calculations which you have detailed?
It does.
Richard Creed.
Note. - Statement B. does not include:—
1st. Parcels by coaches for intermediate distances.
2d. Vans, market carts, and gigs.
3d. Fly boats conveying Liverpool, Manchester, Derbyshire, and Leicestershire goods which enter the line at different places between London and Birmingham, and only go part of the distance.
Nor is any allowance made for the considerable increase, which may certainly be calculated upon from the carriage of meat, fish, dairy produce, and eggs, and of other articles, not now carried to any extent by the existing modes of conveyance.
