 'I also received three letters from him in which he urged me to feign ln- sanity. In accordance with these re- quests I cut my hair off, tore my clothes and the books and my papers in my cell and did other acts to prove to my jailer that I was insane. received letters in which I was in structed to kill my baby as an evil dence of insanity.
 "On the day the babies ate poison MT. Wells arose first and got his own breakfast. I prepared the family breakfast, consisting of condenss( milk and placed it on the table in a small pitcher.
 Louise and Marie were the last two of the family to eat rof the milk and bread and they ate three times as much as the others. Two hours and half afterwards Louise and Marie 1 were taken III and the other ch1IdreI became tll. That night Louise died Marie died the following day, Decem Der 8, 1a12'
