belief of the Baton Rouge police bears
the distinction of being the first fe-

alleged to have written a Black Hand
letter to Ella Scott The two dusky
DANES were rivals for the same heart.
Florence had the caresses OF the lover
for some time. but finally Ella began
to get the lead. This is the Black Hand
letter which Ella Scott received and
turned over to the officers: Eaton

better leave this town within the next

out that you have got my man, and
II you don't it will be sure death asr
you. I will play the Black Hand on
YOU" The letter was put in a shoe

was pinned to a lot of Grape. It was

with black pencil, which probably
