"BLANCHE'S" LETTER.
Edmund II. Barnet, brother Of Henry
C. Barnet, made public the contents OF
the letter signed blanche" which Henry
received q few days before his death, ac-
companied by a quantity OF flowers. rms
letter was turned over TO the police last
week for the purpose of having MI. hlis-
lev compare IL with the writing on the
package sent to Barnet. The contents OF
the letter. as nearly as Edmund H. Bar
net said he could remember them, were
as follows:
mo PSI West-End Avenue
Dear Friend Hnrry.-I have just re-
turned home to learn that you are III.
am sorry. You must not get discouraged
Get will as soon as you can.
BLANCHE"
Learned that among the letters which
are being examined by William ). kinS-
lev Is one signed "Ronnie Schwabeland,'
found among Barnets effects after his
death. IT is not expected however, TO
throw any light on the identity of the
person who sent the package Of medicinal
powders TO Barnet The writer IS Miss
Veronica Schwabeland, daughter of Henry
Schwabeland. OF No. 5H west twenty
ninth street, a member Of the firm OF
Korner & Schwabeland, at Tenth avenue
and Twenty-hfth street.
/ called on the young woman at her
home last night She is a small girl, Of
the German type. She told me that she
met Barnet ten or twelve years ago az
ArvernA She next saw him about one
year ago. He called upon her at her
parents house several times, and she and
her sister Martha, called on him at the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club with their
parents consent.
HEARD OF BARNET'S ILLNESS.
She told me that during the early part
of November a man who was calling on
her told her that Barnet was i'll at the
club. She thereupon wrote Barnet note
of coincidence, expressing the hope that
he would soon recover. Miss Schwabeland
refused to tell me the name Of the man
who had informed her Of Barnet's Illness.
There is still some uncertainty as to
whether the body Of Barnet will be ex-
humed for the purpose Of ascertaining if
1t contains traces Of cyanide of mercury. |
When i asked District-Attorney Gardiner |
dbOub lue tAuulldAlOif he Sdiu. OUlil |
receive some pathological views as TO |
the ACCESSIBILITY Of doing this, 1 will not |
ask for the order, and so involve the |
county in expense. But we are still con- |
sidering it,
The search for handwriting similar TO |
that on the wrapper of the package, |
which ii is thought may be among the |
many thousand written applications for |
a free bottle of the medicinal powder sent |
to Barnet, has not yet been completed.
No importance is attached by the police |
to a statement alleged TO have been made |
by Joseph Moore a night Waterman at |
the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. who |
asserted that he had at times acted as /
valet to Henry c. Barnet. Moore told Of |
Barnet having taken the poison, and said !
he later had declared he had taken poi |
son enough TO kill fifty men"
MOIINEAUXS NOT TO MOVE.
Barlow S. Weeks told me last night |
there was absolutely no truth in the re- |
port that Mr.. ana Mrs. Moineaux We're |
going TO leave Mrs. Bellinger's boarding |
house at No. 3j7 West-End avenue "They |
will stay just where they are" he said |
Miss Emma Miller, Of Newark, y. j.. !
who sold the silver >bottle-holder sent |
TO Cornish with the poisoned bottle OF |
bromo settler on December 18th, now says |
she could not recognize the purchaser if |
she saw him.
c. b. Smith & Co., druggists, Of Newark, |
~ j., have discovered the names of the |
persons to whom they have sold four
bottles of cyanide Of mercury since July
lst Three bottles were ordered by the |
Newark Board Of Education for use in the
new high school laboratory. The fourth
bottle was sold to w. II. Sayre, a drug |
gist, of Roseville, a suburb Of Newark. |
He told me yesterday that he had sold |
five or six grains of the drug since OBJ |
tanning the bottle. lie had not been able |
TO find the name Of the purchaser on his |
books last night.
