would write such letters alone. But we
shall show you by a comparison OF hand
writing that those letters were written
by him. They are in disguised hand
writing; but we shall introduce to you
gentlemen who have made it their bust
ness to compare different forms of hand
writing.
Further we shall offer evidence to show
to you that Edward T. Burrowes wrote
a third letter on July 20. 1892, which,
together with an interview and another
letter which we shall produce will show
that he personally admitted that he did
these wrongs. We shall show that hede-
livered this third letter to Mrs. Posse,
and made an appeal to her to deliver up
the two letters which he had sent to her
in May, 1891.
There was much interest in the court
room when the first witness was called,
Mrs. Elizabeth r. Pease. Mrs. Pease is
rather a good looking brunette, slight in
stature, quick spoken, and very precise

This positiveness did not fail her during
the whole days examination and
throughout all the marvellous stories
which her testimony unfolded. The
witness was offered chair, but she pre-
ferred to stand, and did stand through
out the long and tedious examination,
which lasted through both sessions of
the court. Mrs. Pease stated that she
lived at No. 80 Gray street, in this city,
and that she was born in 1858.
Mr.. Larrabee began the direct exami-
nation by presenting to Mrs. Pease the
first of the two letters which have been
referred to. and which was marked a.
She identified this letter as one she had
received on the 1Ath day of May, 1891,
through the postman. She also identi-
fed the envelope. She thought she got
it in the afternoon. There was a
cut with this letter, a pencil drawing,
which had been accurately described in
the writ. The drawing was pinned on to
the letter. The letter also contained
several newspaper clippings containing
advertisements of remedies for private
diseases. She read the letter, observed
the cut and burned it, She also de-
stroyed the advertisements, although
not at once. She couldn't say how soon
after. She gave the letter to her hus-
band when he returned. He was away
from home and had been away two or
three days. returning in a few days after
she receied the letter.

involves the retouching of lines. The
court said that for the present he would
sustain the objection.
Mrs. Pease
then resumed the stand. Judge Sy-
monds reminded her Of her testimony as
to the visit of the woman in August; and
she said she would fix the date at Au-
gust 4th.

Mrs. Pease was next shown the second
letter, marked co. and recognized it as
one she received about May 81, 1891.
Witness was not sure of the date. This
letter was thrown on the steps of her
house. It came in peculiar way, being
wound around pen holder. The wit
ness identified a pen holder as the one
used, and, taking the letter, folded it
around the pen holder as it had been
folded the night it was delivered. This
letter was thrown upon her steps late in
the evening. She saw it done as she was
sitting in bay window, which adjoins her
piazza. She thought it might have been
half-past ten or eleven o'clock. In re-
spouse to examination by Mr.. Larrabee,
the following was elected:

1t Was Mr.. Burrowes.
