but as yet no answer has been re-

Upon receipt of the answer to the
first telegram, Coroner Folsom inves-
tigated the mans personal effects for
some means of Identification and,
among them, found a letter, address,
ed to Mrs. Albert O. Erwin, written
some time ago but which had never
been sent.
\ Pathetic Letter.
The letter was couched in perfect
English and showed evidences Of ed
ucation and refinement. In it he re-
ferred repeatedly to his past life and
to the disgrace which he had brought
upon his family. He expressed an
intention of leaving soon for the
southwest, where he hoped to find. in
new Genes and associates, a refuge
from the past which relentlessly pur-
sued him and an a%ssuaging balm for
the pangs which an avenging me-
mory visited upon him. This seemed
an almost hopeless quest for him,
however, for in the next sentence. he
stated his despair of eve finding
peace this side of the portals of the
grave. He spoke several times of
Mary and it would seem that she was
the wife of his earlier days.
The body is being held here until
further communication from his sis
ter, when, it is probable, that 1t will
be shipped to California to find a last
resting place among scenes which he
would not revisit while alive.
