sympathy in your great grief.

Yours in sympathy, Sam'l H. Collins

Dr David Starr Jordan.

Why do you wish to make it appear that Mrs. Stanford was not poisoned?

The case is so clear that he who will may see. It was

not expected that Mrs. Stanford would rouse enough to call in outside parties, but her groans called others, & the plan was frustrated. It was expected to take possession of the jewels etc.

This is the theory

of one who is horrified at the murder of so good a woman, & shocked at your effort to shield the gulity. If you do not do Mrs. Stanford justice & see that the murderer is punished, your own punishment will come, sooner or later, in the next world if not in this.

IMMEDIATE PALLBEARERS.
