Why, also ask is the entire Philadelphia news
paper press 50 mysterious and SO guaroed IN IIs
statements and its news III regard TO ILLS Casef
WHAT Is IN TIE LETTERS?
There Is nv Sterious circumstance IN this
case which trouble, and pcpleXes every one II is
well Known that Mr. hoss has received numerous
threatening letters. The nature character aud
even q poi ton OF the contents Of tness letters
were given exclusively IN THESE COLUMNS several
days ago. They were reproduced everywhere, and
there Is scarcely any one VINO Is now unaWar"
what tDey were. Yet up TO this hour Mr. Ross
positively refuses to allow these letters 10 De
prlnt ed entire, or to allow fac-simile OF their
cnil ography to oe published anywhere.
Mr.. Ross perhaps has many reasons for keeping
back tue letters ana 1t is al the more peculiar that
lie should lave selected tue weakest one. In u
community where SO many jou mails are circulated,
and among people who nave all read the nature or
such communications, IL seems impossible that
Mrs Ross should not be now thoroughly iamlliar
with tue Contents OF all OF them.
The arrangement OF the kldnappers begins to
look more and more douot,ul. Mr. Ross insists
that he must have the cnilu, and since the LOnce
have sEnally lailed IN their part OF the work, II
seems probable that the iatner Will pay the none
regain mis- absent one and the thieves be allow ed
TO escape.
