we don't believe word of it, and our rea'
son for doing SO is ,his-The notice Of The oil

evidence Of his death than his own state
ment!! The two letters, one announcin!
his death and the other contradicting it, ar
in our possession, which we will be happ!
10 show 10 the curious. We have submit
ted them to the inspection Of persons accus

ions are that both letters were written b.
one and the same person, who is none othe
than G. w. E,ting'r.
