more or to New York. Change your

You must not breathe to any one that
we are in communication, or that you

TO Mr.. Binghurst or anybody else I'M
der Heaven, or 1t will kill me. If Mr..
Perkins should tell you that you must
tell this to any one elses you must do 1t,
and II the Governor should send for
you, you must go. If you should be
asked if you are not sorry that your
reason of this is, the world thinks you
are O very cold hearted person, and you
must keep up this idea now. And now,
dear Camilla, study this we'll and do Just
as l haye told you and you give me

that the next time you see me you bring

may be to let this be till after Mr..
O'Bryne comes from Harrisburg; but
he only does that out of sense OF duty

good, and you will bo believed more,
because the people will say that II 1t
was not so you'd have waited till every.
thing else was done, and not have con-
fessed while the counsel was up to see
the Governor. Any questions you may
be asked your own good sense will tell
you how to answer. Goodbye. Don't
forget to burn this. Camilla, do your
best, and all will be right. GEORGE.
Ifyou are asked how the men could
come out the gate and it be locked,
answer, they could lock 1t themselves,
it was spring paddock. You must
not come to see me any more after you
tell this.
FIFTH LETTER..
Received on Wednesday succeeding Good
Friday
DEAR CAMILLA: l have concluded to
alter the plan of making confession.
l do 1t in order to make it easier for
you. Instead OF asking you here, |
want you to go and see Mr.. Bringhurst
tomorrow morning; go early, he does
not know that you will be there, and
mako voluntary confession to him;
tell him you cannot endure the thought
of my being executed without telling
what YOU know about this murder; you
must be positive about my being i'll bed
and asleep when it was done. If, when
you go there, the girl should tel! you
that he cannot be seen, you must insist
on seeing him, giving your name.
Camilla, You must make the confession
that I gave you on Friday, but 1 wish
you to alter it some.
There follows q number of minute
instructions for a change in the story,
but not materially altering tho prom1-
nent features of it, also a strong appeal
to her to do what he requires to save his
life, and instructions how to answer a
number of questions which he supposed
she might be asked. This proposition
was followed shortly after by another,
giving her totally different story to
tell, to the effect that while her hus-
band was asleep she got out OF bed,
went down to the dining room, got into
a quarrel with her mother, killed her
with the poker and then threw her out
the window without any help. Then
follow other proposals, as tollows:l
