Two innocent women have been prosecuted as authors of them.

The letters cirou- | lated to London and finally to the! outposta of the British Empire wherever a husband or mweetheart relative or friend 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 lét ters are easily proved untrue; others have done the work their authors in- | tended for them. A local housewife was prosecuted for nending the letters and sentenced to 10 days’ imprisonment. pon after her release, the letters began to| carry their foul messages thruout | the empire. The woman was arrest- od again, convicted, and sentenced to | & year's imprisonment, While she | wan serving her sentence they began again. Finally it was found that the woman tn jail could not have written them. She was released and com- pensated by the British government. | Her accuser at her two trials, a «pin ster, was arrested.
