Royal Chamberlain, and the unsavory scam

were in receipt of anonymous letters and
postal cards, making the most indecent per-
scnal accusation against the persons adj
dressed or against their relatives or friends.
In a number of cases irreparable wrong was

missives placed them in the hands of the po-
lice, and as a result Count KotZe ar
