Continued Deception.
"Laporte, Iud., April IL, 1908.
Mr.. Axei *. Helgelein;
.sYour letter / have received some
DAYS ago, but. have not been able TO
answer in regard to your brother, An
drew. ] have tried every way TO find
some trace Of him. The man who told
me he is in South Dakota is named
Lamphere, who worked for me for
while. He said he had beard 1t from
some one he knew IN Mansfield, and
had also probably told them about the
$4,000 / knew right away that II
was a lie. But this Lamphere began
about until at last they took and ar
rested him, and they had three doctors
to examine him and see II he was right.
They found him not quite crazy enough
10 but in hospital. But perfectly sane
he is not. Others have told me that
Lamphere was Jealous oil Andrew ana
for that reason troubled me TINS way,
The reason Andrew was looking LOT
his brother, Lampbere told me, was
that both OF them left Aberdeen the
same day and that there was some trou,,
BILE with n man they had found dead
there. Andrew had sent TO blm q lot
of money when he was there
