A FEATURE OF HEARING. REMARKABLE LETTERS. 'ress Association —Electric Telegraph—Copyrigl (Received Saturday, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, Friday. A feature of to-day’s hearing of the Waterhouse case was Mr Justice Shearman’s decision to -admit three letters written by Frank Waterhouse and given to Lady Wilson-Barker for the alleged blackmailer. The first said: “I have now no capital only a yearly income since I gave Lady Wilson-Barker £IOO last year. I managed to have a further £4OO which I have given her with this letter. If requisite, I will be able next June to give her a further £4OO to £500.” The letter expressed gratitude for the recipient’s bravery when she first knew of the matter, and also “the kindness to us ever since ”
Frank’s next letter said: “I am sorry wo both displeased you. I find I can raise £2OOO by the end of the month, which 1 will give Lady WilsonBarker immediately, and more if you Wish it. I have never asked your name, therefore I cannot write to you direct. I have taken nobody’s advice. I feel convinced after all this time that you would not cause Lady Wilson-Barker such misery as to divulge what only we three know.”
The hearing was adjourned. —Aus. Ind N.Z. Cable Assn.
