DEAD GIRL'S LETTERS. Received February 9, 10.15 a.m. LONDON, Feb. 8. The full text of letters of the dead girl, Elsie Cameron, are' strangely irreconcilable with Spilsbury's statement that there was no indication of pending motherhood. They are remarkably frank and written in perfect English. One letter, beginning ''l'ou have broken my heart," continues "I gave you myself and all my love. Had I gone off my head, it would have been no tixcuse for your carrying on with the othergirl. Your love for me should have kept you true. It is a poor thing for a man to let himself go because his girl's nerves are bad. Apparently you deceived tho other girl also. Oh, Norman, had you been a raving lunatic I would never have betrayed your trust. You do not write a single word of love to me though I stood by you in all your troubles. Well, Norman, I expect you to marry me and finish with the other girl as soon as possible. My baby must have a name and, another thing, I love you in spite of all. I have been told you can trust no man, but oh, Norman,' I thought you were different."
Miss Caldicott adrnitted visiting Thorne in the hut in the evenings and accompanying him to cinemas. When asked what they did in the hut, she replied: "Made love."—A. and N.Z. cable.
