IS BLAMED UPON
UNSIGNED NOTES

DEADHAM, Mass, Dec. 26.-TwO
anonymous letters, given to the police
today. are believed TO be responsible
for the Jealous rage which drove DR.
Waller Raleigh Anesbury to kill his
talented wife during the Christmas din
ner In her mothers home In Hyde Park.
Both of these letters were received
last week, and weer shown to some Of
his closest friends. The first letter was
unsigned. and read as follows:
'Dr. Amesbury: / know for a fact
that your wife does not ever intend TO
live With you again. Get wise"
The second letter was received by
one of the faculty OF Roanoke College.
IN which Mrs. Amesbury was a teach
er, and read in part: IF you care
anything about the reputation OF your
Institution you viii dismiss Mrs. Ames-
bury at once, as she has a Character
far unenviable."
Mrs. Amesbury told friends that the
faculty of the school had ignored the
letter. and said she was going 10 fol-
low up the matter legally herself.
DR.. Amesbury was held without bail
on charge of murder today.
