BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT
(Received Nov. 10, 10.10 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Nov. 8. In connection with the Dandenong tragedy, a Melbourne firm received a letter from Markley which goes to throw light on the affair. Markley wrote: “I have a mentally afflicted wife, whom I cannot leave. I am a nervous wreck .on the verge of madness, having lost £ISOO in two years. With the collapse of my own and my wife's health and mortgages on four houses lam distracted. Unless my son, who is our only support, can get work I must go into an asylum with my wife and lose my home, on which I paid £4OO. I am ruined, with my home gone forever, and life in a madhouse before me.”
