THE GRAHAM MURDER.

SPRINGFIELD, No. MAR. I5:-Mrs.
Abbie Breese, OF Fort Wayne, Indiana,
was called on the stand and gave a
clear and concise account Of her sister,
the murdered woman, and her connec-
tion with George Graham. The identi-
fication OF the clothing worn by the
murdered woman was most touching,
and Mrs. Malloy and Cora Lee who,
heretofore, had remained stoically in
different, broke down and Joined in the
universal expression Of sympathy for
Mrs. Breese.
The State then introduced as eyi-
dehce a package of letters written by
Mrs. Malloy TO Graham at the time she
supposed him to be at Fort Wayne, but
which had fallen into the hands of the
murdered woman. The counsel for the
defendants objected and the letters
we're for the time withheld. Here Mrs.
Breese gave a brief sketch of the ca
reer OF her sister and George Graham
up 70 the time of the murder.
Graham is becoming more agltateG
every day and has mostly ceased his
writing. He seems to lose patience
with these women and the public may
look for an early confession of the
whole matter. But anything contra
dictOry to his first confession must
throw dissredit on the truthfulness of
both, except as established by other
evidence.
Following this we publish in full a
letter found in his cell after removal.
1T is not known for what purpose it was
intended, but probably not for publ
easlan' 90 s7
