absolutely refuses to say.
Dawn Moore is at present living In
some sequestered spot where. as Az.
torney Davis puts il, she will be well.
treated by people who have hearts in
their bodies in place Of stones. and
where she will be guarded against
contumely and insult 2
The letter, the gist Of which was oiy-

finding Of which led to The arrest and
search of Miss Moore aboard the Great

three days detention in the local police
station, is as follows: I'

The above letter was picked nm nv
a waiter, on the second cabin deck of
the Great Northern on her last trim
from San Pedro. This, and hints
which she dropped a stewardess, that
she knew something of big diamond
robbery, led to her being searched
when the steamer reached Hilo.
The writing in the letter corresponds
with the handwriting of Miss Moore,
and 1t is now generally thought that
she wrote the letter herself to herself,
probably to crafty hunger for
notoriety.
