- New York, Aug. II. 1912.
MY Dear Anna, My Wife,

me.
IT have been a crook all my life
until L met you. 1 tried to live right
for you.
II Has Been a Hard Fight.
1T has been a hard fight, and l did
not take you into my life. 1 would
have been a coward forever. You
are the only one who has been my
star I could not think of anything
only you.
Now. dear, 1 know that even love
as great as yours cannot stand what
has happened. Still. I have a duty
to do for you and the child. l do
not know just what I shall do, but
this l do know: I shall make good
to our child If 1 live.
II am going to send you money
every week after I get work for the
child. 1 do not expect you ever to
look at me, but / must make good
for our poor girl, and l will.
Darling, remember me always as
1 "a when at my best.
God Bless You for a Good WIFE,"
God bless you for a good wife.
Il shall send the money to your
mother.

HOPE FOR
FACH'S RECOVERY
District Attorneys AssaiIant
Is Expected to Plead
Self Defense.


NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Albert C.
Each. district attorney of Richmond
county, who on Monday was shot
by Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Edmunds, is in
a critical condition today. There are
only slight hopes that he will sur
vive.
Pneumonia set in yesterday coupled
with severe coughing. and since then
he has gradually grown worse. At
last reports he was delirious.
Mrs. Edmunds spent "a calm-day in
prison. She ate three hearty meals
in the county Jail on Staten Island,
and did not appear to be- at all per-
turbed. She had no visitors, but in
dulged in a long conversation with
one of the keepers.
She told this man that within a
few days she expected to secure some
lawyer who had been successful in
murder cases, although she asserted
stoutly her own case would not come
under this head, as she would make
q plea of self-defense.
Wouldn't you like me to inform
your husband. DR.. Edmunds, that
you are in jail?" asked the keeper.
mo. I wouldn't; he's a treacherops
man. answered Mrs. Edmunds.
II understand that your sister, Mrs.
C. S. Schmidt, is going to call on
you and offer you money and aid"
said the keeper.
well, I'll have to see her before I'll
believe it," tartly replied the prisoner.
I'm without money and without
friends. but l guess in a day or two
somebody will come to my aid and
help me to retain a lawyer"
Mrs. Schmidt conducts a fashion,
able boarding house in st. George.

From the top branches of a tree at
Ada and West Fifty-ninth streets,
two detectives from the Englewood
police station pleaded with an ivory
tusked. dark brown circus performer
which broke from its tent and for an
hour gave an imitation of a Kansas
cyclone.
Wild alarms poured into the station
from many homes, and the police were
convinced that at least two score OF
jungle beasts were at large. The two
detectives, leaping from a patrol
wagon, beheld the elephant-there was
only one after all and his name was

shutting down 6t practically all mines

The situation tonight is:
