till you 60 to his room you will say thai

| Well, when he is examining you, strike
him heavy blow just at the edge Of his
hair in the back Of the neck; that will
knock him stiff without noise or sound
You will Immediately lay him on his back,
and pour the vial Of acid into his mouth,
and be sure and get as much down his
throat as possible-be sure, nou. That
will take his life in an instant. You will
lay him just as if he fell with the back of
his neck against the rounds of the bottom
OF chair that stands side of the PARTITION,
so IT cannot slip. That will account for
the bruise on his neck. Lay on one side
of him, some foot or two from his hips,
the vial with a little acid in it. Take the
vial that you buy with nothing in It, SINH
lar to the one You buy with acid nit, and
then they cannot identify the vial. Pour
the acid into it just before you wish TO use
it, and keep it stopped tight, or it will
lose its strength. Lay the stopple upon
the opposite side of him. Have the acid
in your vest pocket when you wish TO use
it. If his nose bieeds, be sure to wipe
every speck off clean. Have your hand
kerchlef out al the time you strike him, so
as to slap it instantly over his mouth and
nose, to prevent the blood from escaping,
II any. 1t will be best to have something
soft wound around the iron, SO as rot to
cut through the skin. If he should object
to seeing you that evening, you will then
have to tell him you was the man who
wrote the anonymous letter, &c., &c.
Then say | am phrenologist, and want
to examine your head, so | can feel salts
fed your promises can be relied on, be-
fore making known DR. C.'s propositions !;
then, while you are examining his head,
you will give him hell. After doing it
you will leave, and go and put the rod of
iron in the MISUNDERSTANDING nothing
around it when you throw il away. De-
stroy your handkerchief if you get it
bloody. Take the cars the next morning,
and be off where no one can find YOU.
After ! am set at liberty, you will write
me letter, and date it at the place where
l shall find you, SO as to pay over the
$1,000 and make such other arrangements
as may be necessary. Sign your name
John Howard, and direct it to North Liv-
ermore, Maine. s5s..s a.a@@ @.ss .o@
You see you can take his life in that
way without noise, wound, or any thing
by which you can possibly be mistrusted.
II one should 60 into his room in three
minutes after you leave it, it would amount
10 nothing for he could take his own life
the instant you left the room. If he has
the anonymous letter with him, YOU de-
stroy ii. You see in his postscript, he
says he wrote the anonymous letter so as
to have it for an excuse if needed. Be
sure and have the hotel understood right,
that you are to meet at. Look in the pa
pers TO see advertisements. There is now
noted house there by the name of Elliot,'s.
Now be sure and get every thing writ
ten right. If the doing business at the
rate of $4,000 per year." is not in the let
ter of confession, you will put it in that
place. Perhaps it will be we'll to put it
in the postscript that he wrote the anony-
nous letter, all but dating it sometime be-
fore he left it in the bar room, 50 thew can
not make any thing out of the paper.
Buy your paper at Bangor, and have
that which you write the letter of confess
sion, long enough so as not to have more
than one sheet Of it. Anonymous are on
common paper. Call your name Cathew
Z. l. Moolidge. He has written nv name
hundreds of times, and it is in the posses
sion of as many persons, and it will be the
most likely one to detect forgery. You
see if you can get him to Bath, you will
be away from all his friends, and before
they can get there, it will be Iauded to
the skies, and the sympathy will be so
tremendous for me, that his friends would
not dare mention that there had been foul
play, even il they thought. so. Unto your
hands | commit my life, liberty, and all on
earth. Farewell, dear friend!! -
l think you had better buy two vials of
the Acid, at Bangor, for fear that you
might break one of them. II Flint does
not practice, you will 60 to his house, to
get him TO give you list of books so as to
get his writing. Oh! to God, could |

sincerity | shall test before you leave here,
