their behalf, my friends, gallant COM

late foes, but now friends. as well as all
others who resent injustice and revere
womanhood 1 ask you to assist them
during my struggle, in the front lines of
defense of those, my best of earthly
blessings.
las for my sons, I trust that they are
brave men, with the strength to live and
die bravely. I have seen my son Roland
asleep as a child by his mothers side;
have seen him asleep in his cell after the
verdict condemning him to death had
been pronounced. Wo is better able than
l. his father, to judge whether that sleep
was the NATURAL sleep of innocence? And
have heard his first words, on awaken
ing a the call of his father as by reveille
from that sleep after the verdict How
is Blanche? How is mother?" and before

days of his confinement, day ~ day.

a degenerate and a vicious person? 1t is
impossible and absurd.

Let me add one statement in conclu-

a public interview that I was conscious
of the guilt of my son. The assertion is
made unequivocally and must be answer

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

Cyrano De Bergerac was presented at
the Crawford theatre for the first time
last night and Wichita theatre-goers had
an opportunity of seeing this exceedingly
interesting play well presented by Ferris
Comedians. To give a synopsis of the
play is unnecessary, as the story is, or
should be, familiar TO all. It takes five
acts Of moderate length to tell the story
on the stage. and from start to finish the
| interest of the audience is well sustained.
The heroic and romantic character Of
Cyrano was caDabIy handled by Mr.
Ferdinand Graham who gave an intelli-
gent and artistic Interpretation of the
character. Mr.. Ed Bracket did very ex-
celIent work as Christian. Mr. Bracket
usually plays heavy parts. in which he

WROTE HER MOTHER
J. Wood Tells Mrs. Rainey
Where Her Daughter Is.
GIVES HER GOOD ADVICE
Thinks Girls Experience With
Him Will Do Her Good.

J. Wood, alias Sweeney, who abducted
Gertrude Rainey, the 14-year-old daugh-
ter of Mrs. Rainey of this city, is prob
ably one of the nerviest scoundrels the
police have had to deal with. Mrs. Rainey
has received letter from him giving her
lot of good advice about the care Of
her daughter, who is now in the MEM
oriaI Home at New Orleans.
Woods letter is unique. The monu-
mental nerve Of the man is evidenced in
the first paragraph. In his letter he takes
the liberty to tell Mrs. Rainey that he
thinks the experience of her daughter
will be a beneficial one and holds out
the hope that she will become a good
girl. 1t follows:
New Orleans, Feb. II, 1900
Mrs. Rainey:
Dear Madam-I wrote you on the 9Th
inst, but failed to mail the letter owing
to clue in regard to the location Of
your daughter. found was right, for
she is at present in the Memorial Home,
SOB Washington avenue, New Orleans. I
understand from her conversation that
she always regretted leaving home and
spoke affectionately of her mother. She
regretted that she had not shown her
appreciation of your kindness in the past
by assisting you in many little ways. 1
think she has received a beneficial les
son this trip, and my advice to you is to
receive her with open arms, to forget
and forgive the past, and 1 think that
you will not regret it.
"Show your little girl that you are her
mother and I believe firmly there is the
making of a good girl in the little one
7 shipped her things and souvenirs to
your address at Wichita and enclose the
receipt for them in letter I will write
to her. Tell her I leave for South Amer
Tea, or Havane, thence to Europe. Give
her P-g's regards. Show her this letter
and she will know. Yours respectfully,
81 WOOD.
'P. Stake my advice and don't leave
her in this city. as this place is next
door to HI. Be sure and get her home.
"P. S.-When I am located viii write
you and her. j. w"
1t is evident from this letter that Wood
did not know that Mrs. Rainey had been
informed of the whereabouts of her
daughter or that the police were after
him. It would seem that he'did not look
for or fear prosecution. Tt is thought
probable that he is already on his way
to South America, and if he is not the
police will probably locate him. Mrs.
Rainey is determined that the law shall
be strictly enforced against him.
