Evidence That She Had Planned with ReSi-
eide to Move Away TO Avoid Notoricty."

PATERSON, V. j.. Nov. 1.-TWO letters have
been received from Gactano BresCi. the Ital-
ian regicide. one of which would seem Ia indi-
cate that tho assassination Of kng Humbert
may have been more deliberate than the An
archists have admitted II il does not show
that Bresci was committed TO the act before
he left this country he had at least arranged
that his wife should move away from their
former home and keep ont OF sight TO avoid
notoriety When Brc-ci wrote last he evidently
understood that his wife had carried out these
plans. and not knowing her supposed new ad-
dress incosed his letter to her In one 10 his
friend. A. Botha. proprietor Of Bartholdi Hail
on Straight street This Is the letter to Bctha;
10 Bofha and ON pdnions,

fore LETT America II WINS agreed between us
that she should give up her rooms which were

the Right Of Existence have pledged them
selves Ia support and educate these two children
and offered 10 take them from the mother;

Whatever the preteNt or purpose Of the

Under the sixth section OF Article IT. Of
the present state Constitution. however, 1t

The purpose Of the Constitutional pro-
