 The letters written to Judge Baker and to Rathbone Gardner are said to have been mailed in Pawtucket Tues day evening. They describe what the anonymous writer calls a telephone conversation, arranging an appoint ment with MT. LeMay. The writer claims to have overheard the cOnver sation and says that he deemed it to be his duty to report the matter to the court. The letters are signed "A Friend to Justice.' it is understood
 Nr. Crafts expresses the opinion that the affair was a trick framed up by some of his enemies for the express purpose of having it reported to the court in order to procure mistriaI of the case He says that he hopes the V ritter of the letters would be found out. and also that the identity of the man who approached Juror LeMay would be disclosed.
 As far as could be learned there was no suspicion entertained by counsel on either side of the case that any of the parties directly interested had any thing to do with the sending of the letters or with the supposed or alleged cause for their having been written.

Death.

Bluefield, w. Va.-Eighty-two men
were killed by a gas explosion in the
Jed Coal and Coke Company's mine
at Jed, w. Va, six miles from here.
Only eleven men escaped alive and
one Of these died within an hour after
being brought to the surface.
Thirty-three bodies have been To-
Gated and the rescuers will have them
out shortly.
When the explosion took place prob
ably only the eleven men working at
the foot of the shaft had a chance for
their lives. They readily made their
way up the cages which were not
damaged.
Though some Of the blades Of the
fans were shattered, they continued
to operate, with the fortunate result
that enough air was present to admit
searching parties Immediately.
