The town of Tulle, in Department Correze, has been terrorised for three years by an anonymous letter writer, who has caused the breaking-up of homes through accusations of infidelity and embezzlement. Investigations by M. Lemens reveal diabolical intimacy with individual lives, also secrets of prefecture for past twenty or thirty years. Some victims have gone mad, and two have died. A committee of townsmen collected funds on a lavish scale to track down the perpetrators, and Paris detectives have been imported, all in vain. The Prefect received at outset letter of defiance which de-. clared that finger prints would fail as evidence, because the writer wore rubber gloves. The mystery reveals no motive of greed or blackmail, or anything but pure malice.
