script Excise Books
Youth il the vision of morn
That flies the coming day;
II is the blossom of the thorn,
Which wild wings sweep away;
1t is the image of the sky
In CLASSY waters seen,
When not cloud appears to fly
Across the blue serene.
But, when the waves begin to roar
And lift their foaming head,
The morning stars appear no more
And all the heavens are fled,
IT'S fieeting as the passing rays
Of bright electric fire
That fash about with sudden blaze
And in that blue expire.
1t is the mornings gentle gale
That as it swiftly blows
Scarce seems to sigh across the vale
Or bend the blushing rose.
But soon the gathering tcmpests soar,
And all the sky deform;
Tho gale becomes the whirlwind's roar
The sigh an argry storm.
For Care, and Sorrows morbid gloom
And heart-corroding Strife,
And Weakness, pointing to the tomb,
Await the Noon of Life

MAxwELL,s CONFESSION {"

Maxwell has made what might be called
something of "a confession" regarding the
Sou lern Hotel tragedy. he denies that he
killed Preller, or that Preller is dead, and
promises to produce him in good time. He
says:
"Preller and / were old friends We came
to Boston together on the steamer Cephalonia.
We were constant companions, and made
arrangements TO meet at st. Louis at the
Southern Hotel, and there to carry out q
scheme which Preller had devised for getting
insurance on his life. We met according to
agreement. We were in room IA in the hotel
for about all the time we spent there, but,
mind YOU Preller was at the hotel only three
days He remained in seclusion for the
mainder OF the mystery at the Southern
Hotel and he left ST. Louis alive and well Oh
the same day that 1 started West That
wasn't Preller's body found in the trunk at
the hotel When the case comes up for trial
l shall have proof of where the body found in
the trunk was procured whom il was bought
of, at what hour it was brought to the
hotel, and all the details of the plot. / can
tell you now that the corpse was brought to
the hotel in a trunk i'll broad daylight, and
was carried up to Room 144. Everything
was arranged to give color TO the theory of
sudden murder and hasty flight. Nothing
was omitted which | thought would add to
TINS Misconceptions MY design was 10 get
clear out of the country before the body was
discovered and once in Australia thought
it would be easy to bury my identity in the
East Indies until things had been forgotten.
l will show you how entirely L trusted Prel-
Ter, and how completely | was his assistant
in this scheme, when tell you that don't
know to-day how large an insurance he car
ried on his life. / knew it was for big sum.
and gave my help in the enterprise solely be-
cause he was old friend and associate.
Where he is, or what arrangements l have
for communicating with him, of course tits
out of the question for me to tell, but you
can rest assured of the accuracy of these facts
/ have given you, and they will all be proven
ON trial y
