The u.e that Mr. Burlin-ame has made Of this note
is Inc most extraordinary feature Ill h:a very cxtraor'

or 10 make comments. Strange, however, as Is i!Ils
ro.itiou, there is yet Il stranger feature connected
with hi. use OF that note. He cuts from the coG;ert
single phrases TO produce tic impression that Mr..
Brooks, through me, wGs persuaiing HIN 10 make
admissions, wien The note Itself, upon lis face, places
Mr.. Brooks in an entirely different, position. In the
, very beginning OF it | announced I" hin. tia; had
