TRUTH Getting Mt Bottom Facts.
Chicago, Jan. Z. = The TriJanc's
New York special says; The Truth will
republish tomorrow fac simile of the
Goodall letter, which accompanied Mo-
rey's letter when it was sent to the
Truth office. The object of the repub-
lication is for comparison with the
fac simile. The letter signed by Mrs.
Elvins Carr, which will be also publish
ed, as well, is for comparison with the
Morey and Weaver letters published in
the Truth on Wednesday last. The
Truth says the Goodall letter needs no
further explanation. The Elvins Carr
letter, however, has a history, which
like itself, has never been given to the
public. 1t was received by the Truth
on the Sd of December. 1880, and al
though it purports to have been writ
ten on the cars (going west) its envel-
ope nevertheless bears the postmark of
station f, New York. The writer Of
the letter, the Truth says, is correctly
referred to by the masculine pronoun,
Notwithstanding the signature begins
with the feminine ''Mrs." The Truth
calls attention to the evident identity
of the handwriting between it and the
Goodall letter, and between both it and
the Morey and Weaver letters. How
ever, it is not Immediately apparent
without the aid of the Elvins Carr let
ter.
The Truth says, in writing the Good
all letter it is evident the attempt was
made to disguise any similarity between
that and the Morey letter which might
appear to have been written by the
same hand. This was at first success
full, but the receipt of the Elvins Carr
letter presented such perfect con-
Meeting link between the other two that
there was no longer any doubt that the
same hand had written all three. The
Truth concludes that the Weaver let
ter, Morey letter. Goodall letter and the
Elvins Carr letter were all written by
the same man, and that the Morey and
Weaver forgery both came from the
same source.
The Truth does not at this time pre-
tend to name the author of the Elvins
Carr letter, which is as follows.
''On the. cars going west-Irrah.-
You are right about the Morey letter;
it was not forger, and for the sake of
a $4,000 position the whole thing might
come out at the proper time. You
shall have all the particulars and they
will be given to no other paper, but
while the theory is given such promi-
nence in the papers it would be disas-
trous to us to give you the true inward
ness of that famous letter, which. has
given your paper worldwide fame and
the democratic party II electoral votes,
control of the United States senate,
two governors and three members to
congress. Now 1 hope you will give
Morey rest for while and save your
dear paper any further expense.
MRS. ELvINs CARR.
