duct of a crank or of someone who
really knows something about the
tragedy and is afraid to diVulge his
name. 1t was certainly not written as
a joke, for it CannOt be conceived that
Il person would be so wantOn as to Jest
about such Il serious matter. The let
ter was as follows.
Some water is thick. but blood is
thicker: and my conscience is thicker
than blOOd and 1 Just want to tell YOU
both that he was urdered about two
OF three miles from where he was put
off the a and if they are caught 1
am not to blame for I have not told on
then for 1 cannot. but if you can
find out more o can find out the
names of the two men who got off at
the next station from where he was put
off This is all l have to say. Now
YOU boil can do the rest"
YESTERDAYS EVIDENCE.
The jury its session al
noon in the court house and, except fol-
about All hour and a half taken as a
dinner recess, worked hard to solve
the knotty problem. FOur witnesses, ]
q. BoWden. J.. H. Riggs, c. W. Hollow

day night were recalled, but their
further testimony lie not throw any
additional light on the subject. Five
new witnesses. including the two ply
siclanS, were examined.
MAY HAVE BEEN KILLED BY CAR.
DR.. f. j. Manly. assistant surgeon
United States army. stationed at Fort
CaSWell, testified as follows:
I left Wrightsville Beach about mid
night Saturday on a suburban trolley
car. The first / knew of the tragedy
was when the mOtorman of the car
stopped the car and said 1 have killed
a man l went to see the man and
found him dead. There is no reason
why 1 should not think that he was
killed by the car, as the body was
warm. The injury in the head may
possibly have stopped the body from
bleeding. I did not notice his lips"
BODY WAS WARM.
DR.. j. Arthur Dosher. of Southport
testified:
Il was on the car hat ran over The
body. l was sitting on the second seat
L heard the m~Otorrnan say I have rur
over 4 man, To make sure that tbs
body was warm W went back and
viewed 1t. Sometimes a wound vii
cause a body not to bleed much. Some
times when the heart stops il will stop
the flow of blood. If the man had beer
killed before that time l don't think
the body would have been as warm as
It was. l could not tell if the man haC
been drinking"

Robb "After" the SWindler.

One of the postal department Off
Gals, Assistant Acknowledgement Robb
has been serving the public faithfully
and well by running down the various
fraudulent concerns that use the mails
in their business. Among the enter
prises that he has unearthed were five
New York typewriter companies
which advertised that for $3.50 cash
they would send to anyone a typewrit +
and 1000 sheets of paper and would
pay $40 to S25 for 1000 sheets of type
writing work that might be ordered
There might have been millions in this
scheme but for Mr.. Robb. He discoV-
cred that the typewriters thus adver-
tised are such as are sold as toys to
children, that they cost about so cents
apiece, ard that they are incapable, of
course, Of doing regular typewriting
work. The country is said to be full
of schemes of this character, their sue
cess really depending upon the use of
the mails in reaching customers
