1t will be impossible for US 10 publish all INK
correspondence read in evidence in the case
The Commonwealth u.s. w. K. Myers, &c. The
dose which we have already administered TO oul
readers must have fully satisfied the cravings o.
the most morbid appetite. The additional let
tiers of Mrs Myers-and "beir name is Legion
are all sta mped with The same character OF devo
ted, passionate, desperate love, riyalling The mos
rap,urous illusions of Heloise. They are srew
ed with terms Of endearment, of which the letter:
we have already published furnish fair speci
men, and their ceaseless repetition cannot serve
10 throw light upon the subject. But there are in
| each certain passages, which may assist in de.
veloping The facts of the case, and 10 these We
shall conhne ourselves.
II is proper that We should here state, that The
Cd and Sd letters OF Mrs. M, published yesterday
were read in evidence by The Commonwealth
and the Two last, (4h and 5h,) were the inter.
copied letters, introduced by the defence.
On Tuesday a very long letter from Mrs NJ
was read for the Commonwealth. II is dated The
18th June, 1896, al Alta Vista, Albemarle coun-
", The residence OF her father. This is the letter
in answer 10 which, it is supposed, Hoyl's lelier
OF the 18th June, intercepted by Maj. Pollard, and
already published by US, was written. Wemake
