POISON PEN LETTERS j j
u. STIR WHOLE EMPIRE
Scotland Yard Has Set Out To
Find the Hand Behind the
Poisoned Pen Mystery
BY Chas. cCann


Omitted Press STAR Correspondent
London, Dec. 10 Omitted .Press)
Scotland Yard has set out to find
the hand behind the poisoned pen
whose acid strokes, during the two
years Of scurrilous anonymous fet-
ters,s have beaten into the hearts of
hundreds of residents Of the seaside
town Little hampton, near Bright
on. !S,s 555i< :. r7Tzs3 ~ 733.,.s.s7 ( q
Husbands and wives have been es-
tranged daughters cast out, homes
broken up, lives! wrecked; suicides
and murders even have been caused
by Or attributed to the foul charges
with which the letters are filed.
Two innicent women have been
prosecuted as authors Of them.
Local and county police have
sought since 1920 for the author of
the letters. Now some of the best
detectives in the famous Scotland
Yard force have been assigned to the
case.
All the evidence they have to work
upon is:
Bundles of hundreds of some
what. shakily printed letters, max
ing terrible charges against bankers
clergymen, business men, wives
sweethearts, even mothers and chill
dren; some of them sent as far as
India to relatives and friends of
the victims.
-2-The knowledge that none of
the persons suspected could have
written the letters.
s3-The probability that a woman
is the author; probably some one
whose life was soured through sor-
row or secret sins.
Scotland Yard was called in fol-
lowing a revival of the letters.
The letters are as prolific as their
charges are varied-immorality, un-
faithfulness, dishonesty, deceit, per-
version, disease
1t was two years ago that the
plague was visited upon Littlehampt-
on. From a particular neighborhood
the letters spread over the little
town of $500 people then through
out the country. The letters circulat-
ed throughout London and finally to
the, outposts of the British Empire
wherever husband or sweetheart
relative or friends Of the victim
could be reached.
All the letters show an intimate
knowledge of affairs public and pri-
vate, in the town. Some of the let
ters are easily proved untrue; others
have done the work their authors in
tended for them.
A local housewife was prosecuted
for sending the letters and sentenced
to ten days Imprisonment. Soon af-
ter her release, the letters began to
carry their foul messages throughout
the empire. The woman was arrest
edFagain, convicted and sentenced to
years imprisonment. While she was
serving her sentence they began
again. Finally it was found that the
woman in jail could not have writ
ten them. She was released and
compensated by the British govern
ment. Her accuser at her two trials
spinster, was arrested. SheA was
tried, but by the judges order the
jury acquitted her, because of the
weakness of the case for the prosec-
ution.
The plague lay dormant for time
Now it is again epedimic.

boundaries South of Third and East
from Jefferson streets for the purpose
of building storm sewers, grading the
streets, and constructing sidewalks
and curbs.
If you ask you will probably be told
that the estimated cost is $500 per
foot of lots bordering streets, figure
the cost yourself, but remember, this
is but an estimate, there is no limit
to the cost.
Once the petition is signed by 20
per cent of the resident owners of
property within the district and acted
on by the city council, it is beyond
your control, or protest.
1t is proposed to cut down hills,
and fill the lower parts of the streets,
the court house hill being the first
which it is proposed to grade.

which undoubtedly would be worth
less, construct sidewalks and curbs.

terms of its efficiency and the work

This would all be done by the city,
and directly under the control of the
city engineer.
1t is rumored that the storm sewer
may be abandoned, but the other ex-
penses without the sewer would be
enormous, and all of which y9u would
be called upon to pay and would be a
lien upon your property.
Parties who have sidewalks and
curbs, would have to be assessed the
same as others, but would probably
be allowed deductions for such curb
and sidewalk, but would have to pay
the balance, in order to be uniform.
There would, under such a petition
be no limit of cost which might be as
sessed, and it is the duty of each prop
erty owner to give careful consider
alton. before signing such a petition,
and if you wish to take chances sign,
if not refuse.
