reason for a second trial. It was the contention of counsel that the origin of these letters should be investi- gated in the hope that they would aid in clearing Schutte of the crime.
 All claim for the murders of Mir. and Mrs. Joseph Ball and their son Jacob was charged to Schutte's son Julius, in the letters, the writer of which promised to tell all if guaran- teed immunity. He charged that Julius framed" his father because of his ill feeling towards him. Two of the letters were sent to the New York World, and subsequently, turn ed over to Governor Lake, while third was sent to the Middletown Press and turned over to State At torney Inglis. .s.~.l
 The first two were mailed through the railway mail service on the Berkshire division of the New Ha- ven road, and the third on the Bos- ton and Albany railway postoffice. Curtiss at that time was f living in Sheffield, Mass, { through whieht the Berkshire line passes. The Boston and Albany route goes through Pittsfeld, short distance from Sheffield. t,..
 At last report, Curtiss was still living in Sheffield. ...s.
 Superintendent Hurley said that the conformation and phraseology of the letters had such strong charac- teristic resemblance to dozens of other letters written by Curtiss that there was no doubt as to the sin1i- larity of the writings. Curtiss, he said, has a mania for interceding for people under indictment, and during his confinement in jail in Litchfield he was known to ire quently venture to advise other prisoners there as to the best means of handling their cases.
 Two words in the letter written by Curtiss to the -MiddIetown paper -"Holcomb's judges"-give weight to the claim that the letters were written by Curtiss. Then sentence was, "Why not give the governor chance to make record more human than Holcomb's judges2"
 It was Justice Lucien F.. Burpee of the supreme court of errors, then sitting on the superior court bench in Litchfeld, who was Curtiss's tar get for attacks during and follow ing his divorce proceedings that finally led to his arrest. He was sentenced to jail and was later ad- judged insane and transferred to Middletown, from where he was sub sequently released.
 . State Attorney Inglis said that he was glad the mystery of the letters had been cleared. as it could not fail to settle any doubt as to Schutte's guilt in the minds of. those who chung to the letters in the belief that they were bona fide and would eventually lead to Schutte's vindication.
 F. Judge Donahue who was Schutte's counsel, said that he would be better satisfied as to the authorship of~the letters if a handwriting expert twege called upon to examinek them .t .sahd compare them with others written by Curtiss.-Hartford Courant. r,

ata.E '" t=t F sr# .f"z F. z ra. lf" OUR LARGEST MERCHANT

If one was to ask the average in- dividual in this town who our larg- est merchant is, nine out of ten would come far from the truth. By our largest merchant we mean that individual or corporation, or part nership doing the largest annual gross business from which reason able profit, is realized. To sell a million dollars worth of merchant disc and lose by the transaction, would not be business, therefore it would hardly be fair to classify such an individual or firm by prefixing business. .~...
 Only a very limited number know which place of business sells the most merchandise, so an answer to the question would be mere guess work. We are unable to prove by exact figures our theory regarding this question, yet feel safe in say ing that the firm handling the bulk of our money spent for merchandise is not represented here at all! We shall try to prove this statement to yourrsatisfaction. .-
 Money orders are sold at the local post office each year, for merchan- disc, to the extent of about $7O, 1000. Practically all of this goes to mail order houses for various kinds of merchandise. How much is spent by checks >on our local bank it is only possible to estimate, Pft for the sake of argument let's can it $2o,- 900. ' Then there must be@considered the number of people who go to nearby cities to, purchassfgoodsSa Sand those who make. regular annual or semi-annual tripsS Sto New York or otherss large cities. Let us say they spend $10, ,000. Last but not by any means to be entirely. overlooked, consider ythe anfounts taken sout of town4 by the e, Hungarian pedler, fruit shuckster, Atc. < This will bring the amount of money taken directly out of town to upwards of $1OO,OO0 annuAllya
 Beginssto look liksfUnclS Sam had the bulge on our business mens dpes- mt it? , Think of it, the local post office acting as the intermediary for business amounting to $70,000 from which the people derive no actual benefit except. the .eomfortSer con- venience, of the: nerehandise. itself! But we can't blame the post office for this; nor can the people alone be held at fault. Call it fifty-ffty be- tween the. post office and the people for one-haf of the cause, AfoT we know the people are partly to blame, also. that the post office won't mind sharing it with them. Where adoes the remaining fifty per cent. of the blame go7 THefs,s is lgfE 11nlS one
