While the foregoing letter was being
read by Mr.. Piles the witness for the frst
time betrayed emotion. She could no
longer suppress her sobs, and she quietly
wept with her head bowed down. Most
OF the women in the house evinced their
sympathy with the woman by also weep
ing, and when the reading of the letter
was finished people all over the room
coughed, blew their noses and changed
their position. The next letter was dated
at olympia, July.l2, 1892. and contained
the following:
Now then am going to say something that
hope Will please you. Do not write any more
letters to any one and do not think Of helping

At the clause about gathering the dol.

the audience, which was sternly rebuked
BY the court.
The next letter caused shuider to pass
through the room:
