LOVEFOR EASTMAN
Shown In Edith WOOdiIl'S S
Letters to Him.
FOUND IN SlAYER'S BUNGALOW
Lyman J. Cages Ward, Though the
Wife of Another, Wrote Pas
sionate Poetical Missives
to Fugitive Broker.

Baltimore, June 30.-Letters found
upon the person of Robert E. Eastman
at the bungalow following his death
and which throw light on the mystery
Of the murder of Mrs. Edith May
Woodill were made public by the state
attorney.
Probably the most remarkable letter
was one found in the bungalow signed
Edith" This letter, sent to Easton
not only indicates the warm feeling Of
Gilbert Woodill's wife for the fugitive
broker, but seems to prove that she
had known him for at least more than
year.
The letter was in part as follows:
"1s the iron immodest when it creeps
to the loadstone and clings to its side
Is the seed immodest when it sinks
into the ground with budding life? Is
the cloud bold when 1t softens into
rain and falls to earth because 1t has
no other choice, or is 1t brazen when
it nestles on the bosom of heavens
arched dome and, sinking into the blue
black infinity, ceases to be itself?
us the human soul immodest when,
drawn by force il cannot resist, it
seeks stronger soH1, which absorbs
its ego as the blue sky absorbs float
ing cloud and as the warm earth
swells the sea, as the magnet draws
the iron?
81 do not feel myself to be bold or
wrong or in myself for drifting to-
ward you as l do. l would not feel
myself wrong to go straight to you to-
morrow.
There is ever and always some hui
man soul to love and trust us and
I whose confidence we would not alter.
We are not of our own making, and
our lives belong to another-Brahma,
who rules and is wise
Dream of you. did l say? Long for
you would be better, for every heart
beat seems to cry out against the enor.
nifty Of the crime that makes me NO
longer yours. All the best in every,
thing seems only to exist because of
you and for you.
Il hate existence away from you.
Remember me always, as you loved
me best, and, though were you "a
bandit-anythfng- heart would
beat in responsiveness to yours"
On the same paper in Eastman's
handwriting is the following:
Little Dear-I cannot live after oul
short - of bliss, with our parting
ever before me. If we meet in the un
known let's continue the blissful times
that we spent here. 1 am with you in
every thought"
