MADE LOVER IN CIPHER.
Freda's Consolatio ion for the Death of He
Mythical Self

Freda's Consolation for the Death of Her
Mythical Self
The letters that passed between the
young ladies were written in cipher made
up of capital and Greek letters. In one of
the letters Freda bewails the death of the
mythical Freda, but she consoles herself
with the reflection that she loves Alice
better than this dead fiction of their
letter that she worships her, while she
only loves Ashley Roselle- Later on she
says she loves only Alice.
Wild with Joy Over Eiopement.
In other letters Freda discussed the pro-
position to elope, and was wild with JOY
when Alice told her that they would in
short time leave for St. Louis. The
presentation of the engagement ring
brought back such letter would
follow similar presentation by boy of
10 years to girl of IL. When Freda's sis
ter broke into the plan to elope the girl
wrote most heart-rending effus ions to
Alice. She swore that she would marry
none other than Alice.
Peculiar Objection to Tobacco.
On slip of paper WAS found written in
Alice's chirography various ways for pro-
ducing death, among them cutting
stabbing poison, drowning, shooting and
smothering. Another paper bore the
legend, twelve grains of atro2hia." In
another letter from Freda she told Alice
that if she chewed tobacco she would not
kiss her, as she did not desire her husband
to use either tobacco or liquor as its bad
effects often went to other generations.
When the letters from Freda to Alice
were being read the defendant for the first
time since her incarceration showed Wis
ible signs of excitement.
