Some explanation of the foregoing i'm
OFtant disclosures may be necessary
a''eVIy, Buser has admitted that he is
possessed OF certain guilty knowledge con-
ected with the murder. Though deny
that either he or Houser committed
re Decd he acknowledges that he knows
~the guilty parties are. The Blanchard
@ken OF is one of two who, he AYERS,
nnltted the murder. Blanchard was
innate Of The penitentiary at the same
'le With Buser and Hnuser, and the
nlP spoken Of, which we're maps of the
'alty OF the scene o. the murder, were
'AWn up IN conformity with instructions
'ce'Ved from Philip Fulgart, also au in
'1,e oi the peuitentiary, who lived near
SDu was we'll acquainted with the sur
'0u1'Ngs OF Miss Paups farm. The gen
''uO' OF the letter in this connection
,ousty confirms the testimony of NJ
'0'iy the pardoued convict. Buser
I5ys this Blanchard greatly resembles
-''u'eI' and that he was the identical
~ I'u who was seen in the vicinity of Miss
M,r,s .I residence during the latter part of
jo., -: t.'T on which occasion Re may have

~: t"'a''on that he at one time intended
