Mystery in Identity of Writer and His Protectors May be Cleared Upat Sunday School Meeting. Who is shielding the real author of the letters to membcrs of Hope Bap- tist Church, at Broadway and One Hundred and Fourth street, which handwriting expert Kinsley mistak- enly {ned were written by Miss Grace Merritt, and why is the real author shielded? This question is agitating not only the congregation, but the whole ne ghborhood in Harlem st. ‘rounding, the church. The opinion as to the} innocence of Miss Merritt is about unenimous, and gossip bandies from tonguc to tongue the name of a young man who is said to be the cul- prit. If the friends of Miss Merritt in the church are able to accomplish it the name of this young man and the proof will be disclose’ at a Sunday- school meeting to be held to-morrow night. Pastor Not Malicious. The Evening World has gatned much information that has not been printed previously in connection with this remarkable case, From this in- formation it appears that Rey. Ric..- ard Hartley, the pastor, was inno- cent of malice when he called in Ex- pert Kinsley and submitted to him " some of the letters and a specimen of 1) of Miss Merritt’s handwriting. Ap- ' parently he was honest in his belief « that the letters were written by the "girl. While still a pupil in the Normal School she became engaged to marry George Jessup, @ prominent young man in the church and the son of a widow, who has been forward yn church work. ‘This engagement laste] until last No- vember wnen !t was terminated by @ © quarrel. Shortly after this occurrence the let- ters began to circulate. They c.rculated trin showers. Some of them were of the pl|most scurrilous nature. The majority bi, Were printed with pen and ink, but acme were written in a hand evidently dis- ‘1 Qutsed. Miss Merritt was among those 8") who recelved the letters. i Complaints Multiptt | Complaints were made by members of | the congregation to the pastor and to if the deacons. The letters increased in t number and annoying qualities. Finally, 3. through one of the members of the } congregation, Pastor Hartley was in- | formed that Grace Merritt was the let- ter writer. ‘The pastor called in his friend Kinsley, ( who gave it as his opinion that the let- ters he had been given were written by Grace Merritt, Armed with this opinion and the documents, Pastor Hartley culled a meeting of the deacons, and to this meeting Miss Merritt was sum- moned, The gry fainted away before the tribunal and was carried to her home. The next day the sister of the pastor called upon her and told her that’ she believed that the real writer of the let- ters had not been named, Now comes the superintendent of the Sunday-school with the bald statement that the letters were written by a young man who is well known, He offers proof, Other members of the congrega- thon say that the young man they name wrote the letters. But back of all their statements is a reserve that is caused by some mysterious Influence—the influ- ence of one powerful in the affairs of the @hurch, Mr. the chief layman in the ¢hurch, says that he does not believe fhat the girl wrote the letters. But when asked if be has an idea who the real culprit 1s be professes jgnorance, It ig hoped that the mystery will be eleared up to-mormw night, when wit- nesses will be called not only to clear the good name of Miss Merritt, but to establjsh the identity of the real culprit.
