Tells of Two Letters Received from

CINCINNATI, Feb. 21-The developments
in the Fort Thomas horror advanced few
PAGES today. Young Wood, who has hereto
fore been so reticent, repeated from memory
two letters that he had received from jackson
one dated January % and another dated Feb
ruary s. He says that these letters were
shown to his friends at Greencastle, among
them Early the operator, and DR.. r. G. Gil
lespie the dentist at Greencasle The first
letter is, as nearly as he can recollect, as
follows:
CINCINNATI. O., Jan. %, 1s96.-Hello

to get here Monday night. Tell her she
sn go in 5obr BACK Or ye days pSh
am this near out Of my trouble Be sure
and burn this as soon as read. Your chum,
always. 3D."
The next letter which Wood said he received
from Jackson he produces from memory as
nearly literal as possible in the following
words:
CINCINNATI o., Feb, s, 1Ss6.-Hello
am expecting trouble. Oh; Lord stand by
me. DO you think Doc. will? Write him,
made big mistake and 1t is going to
make me trouble 2 Don't forsake me now.

already mentioned, will remember the con-
tents of these letters and swear to them. He
says that he burned all the letters. That of
February ssems damaging from the fact
that Wood knew at that time that a girl had
been murderedhat Fart Thomas
The contents Of these letters were reported
to Jackson. Jackson evaded questions In
regard to the authorship OF them, but seemed
to be very much disturbed. Although Jack
son sings and dances in Jail. Walling is the
most cheerful Or the two and holds up fairly

developments in Nny Smiths story which
she repeated to Mayor Caldwell yesterday.
He is very reticent except in accusations
against Jackson. Even In these he ndulges
more sparingly then he did when first
arrested.

NEW REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTIO.
DR.. Cyrus Edison Lnys Down Rules for
It's Application.

II
It's Application.
NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Dr. Cyrus Edison in
forms the Associated press that he is over
whelmed with correspondence since the Asso-
ciated press sent out his report about pllo-
n-phenyl- l-hydroxide (aseptolin) so much
that even with three stenographers at work
received. He desires through the Associated
press to express his thanks for the kindly
congratulations received and says: "The
aseptolin treatment can be administered by
physician only, and. second 1t cannot be
carried on by correspondence. The treat
ment is very simple and can be administered
by any physician as well as by me. Under
no circumstances whatever will / allow the
aseptolin to be sent to any patient. 1t will
be sent to his physician only and must be
administered by the physician.
II decline absolutely to give the patient of
any other physician advice about his case
I will gladly correspond with any physician
about his cases l will see no patient out
side OF my own practice except as con-
sultant with his physician. Any patient
wishing to see me must bring letter from
his physician asking me to see him. The
final result Of my examination ! will hand to
that physician and will not communicate 1t
to the patient. Physicians who know their
condition are infinitely better judges Of the
treatment needed than l can be. Their own
physicians nave studied their case; they
know the conditions existing and they are
the only ones who can say whether aseptoin
will help.
II am willing to send a tw0-ounce bottle OF
aseptolin to any physician in the United
States, so that he may be convinced by the
Improvement Of his patients Of it's value
II wish to repeat that aseptolin is not q
specific for consumption, although 1t Is for
malaria and spectcaemla. 1t Is folly to ex-
pect any result from 1t when the patient has
been given up. The treatment with it is
merely what l called it-a rational treat
ment, because it follows the lines indicated
by nature. 1t has done and will do good In
many cases, but 1t is not remedy which will
restore lungs which have been destroyed.
II would suggest to surgeons having pa
tients with bad hygienic surroundings and |
who fear septic results that the ageptolin |
has been exceedingly successful in cases of
septic poisoning"
