Mr.. Editor:-Havng noticed an
article in your last issue with regard
to the Guardian Insurance Co. taken
from the Insurance Herald l wish to
make few statements as agent Of the
Guardian Insurance Co. and also
produce the letter of F. B. Craig in
surance commission of Tenn. The
competitors of the Guardian are
securing the. country for something
with which to give the Guardian a
black eye but every time they make
an effort in that direction they add
new strength to the Guardian as will
be seen by the following letter.
"To whom it may concern:
"Having received information that
a report is being circulated to the eff
feet that the Guardian Insurance com.
pany has been ordered to cease bust
ness. by this department.. | desire to
state, in justice to the company, that
such a report is utterly unfounded,
and has not the slightest semblance of
ruth.
"The annual statement of this COM
pany was furnished to this Office but
was returned for certain changes in
order that same might conform to the
requirements of this department, and
this has happened, not only with this
company, but with number Of the
oldest and largest companies doing
business in Tennessee.
"The annual statement of this com
pany has been filed and accepted by
this department, and renewal license
issued, authorizing it to do business
in the state during the year 1896.
(Signed) Very respectfully,
E. B. Craig,
Insurance Commissioner State Of
Tennessee.
My complutoTs further say that q
loss of S., 900 incurred in Feb. 1896 re
duces the surplus as accumulated in
1895 implying that the Co. had nc
policy receipts in 1896 to Offset loss
in 1896 whereas a'matter of fact the
policy receipts of the Guardian for the
two months just past of 1896 have
been $40, 900, which makes the Guar
dian amply safe.
These competitors Of ours studious-
ly refrain from informing the public
that out of the IS companies doins
business in Tenn. that only four o.
them did much as the Guardian in
1895 and the loss ratio OF the
Guardian was the lowest of any o
themM The secret of this attact or
the Guardian is because it refuses t.
join the combination on high tariff
rates as made by the other companies
in the state. -Jno. l.. Goddard.

that disease, rare but terrible with
which physicians are acquainted, but
over which they seem to have no control
whatever.
"That disease" said he, sis malfor-
nation or distortion of the osseous
parts, causing deformity so marked that
in may cases men are made to assume
hkenesses to the inferior animal. The
horror of the thing did not pail on me
for it was quite in keeping with my ma
ture, and like atrue medical student l
began to study the new conditio that
had arisen. From what can see / be-
lieve fully that am growing to resem-
BILE the devil; that the osseous parts of
my head and face are gradually assum-
ing that elongated shape so pronounced
in what is called the degenerate head,
and that the simlitude is almost COM
pleted.
"In fact, so impressed am I with this
belief" continues Holmes, "that | am
convinced that have no longer any
thing human in me-"
Holmes confession from this on
speaks of his early experiences of his
boyhood days on the farm up in Yer
mont and the life he led until he en-
tered college to study medicine in Mich
igan. 1t was not until after he was
graduated, fully equipped with the
knowledge of poisons and the easiest
way to sever the simple thread of life,
that Holmes began his career as a muir
derer and mutilator. When he begun,
he admits himself, he was ruthless and
never once halted until he took ~
lives.
"And I would have committed six
other murders" he added, chad not GER
tain occurrences interviewed.
Possibly one of the worst, most brutal,
revolving and disgusting crimes this
arch-mutilator ever committed was one
he speaks of in a chapter devoted to his
boy the son of his first wife. The only
explanation he offers is that he did it
simply to crafty his love of mutilation.

youngster. called him in from the
road, where he was frolicing about like
and innocent with lot of other lads,
and took him out to a rear barn.
II don't know what it was that pos
sessed me, but 1 took a surgical knife
along with me. 1t was simply the crav-
ing of the murderer within me that in
spired me to make subject of my little
one."
With the utmost abandon and with
here and there an expressed sigh of re-
greet, Holmes then tells how he went
through the operation of mutilating his
own son. Finished with that Holmes
felt satisfied and did not murder his
boy outright.
