POISON PEN WRITER
SOUGHT AT SAVANNA

Postal officials are seeking clue
to poison PEN writer in Savanna.
The writer has been sending indie
cent and threatening letters to sew
eral Savanna residents in the last few
weeks.
The poison pen" writer does not
seem to confine himself or herself to
any particular person. Men and
women Of irreproachable character
and reputation have been recipients
of the missives. Usually no name is
signed and again names are fatty
forged. One or two prominent men
have been made astounding proposals
in the name of a young woman, for
instance, who was easily able to prove
she had nothing to do with the matter
at all and was the innocent victim OF
the distorted mind that has been
sending out the letters.
Another home was all but broken
up when the wife received a letter
purporting to expose an affair in
which her husband took part. Need
less to say, the husband was quite
blameless in the matter and convinc
ed his wife. The letters are all ap-
parently in the same handwriting
and one or two local people believe
they have a pretty good idea of the
