verne & Wayne. All They
care about is the property.
On mothers day Wayane
bought some flowers
& made a big fuss.
All he wanted was to
get some mony.

When Mr. Sweet got a
divorce wayne went with
him & testified against
his mother. I guss Chief
of police butler is
after verne because
he stole some mony
from the schoolhouse

some mixup. I guss

drink & has done to the
bad. Mrs. sweet had a
wine mask suffed with
cotten & soaked in chloroform
& then she went to bed
& the chloroform burned
her face & all her
clothes & her body.
It is awful.
