The letter was skull and cross-bones. The writer demanded the immediate wife of $200 to one of its agents, who would meet Dr, Smylie in front of tho English Lutheran Church of the Re- deemer. If ho failed to appear with the money he was warned that one of his daughters would be kidnapped and held in ransom, If this extremity was neces- sary the child would be killed if the Pr ransom was not paid within a stated Interval.
