porter, "as | am completely exhausted

it is on account of attenpts on the part
of others to get Mrs. Martin from
the custody OF the doctor. l wish
to say that DR.. Heydecker has carried
out my wishes in this matter, and | am
grateful to him for what he has done.

aminer, as that paper published the
story, and, not understanding the mo-
tives of the doctors actions, miscon-
strued them. taking the story OF the
detectives who 30 shamefully betrayed
him.
The paper evidently means to insinu-
ate that the doctor is mentally unbal-
anced, but that 10 because it does not
understand all the facts"

connection with this case in full. You
should correct the unfavorable COM
ments, and particularly the groundless
