The Murderer Deeming
HIS LETTERS TO BE BURNED. (per press association. Melbourne.. May 26. Among Deeming papers in the possession of the Chief Secretary are letters addressed to the Argus, Pall Mall Gazette, the Times, and the Liverpool Mercury, which are supposed to contain a confession. A leading medical man declares he carefully examined Deoming's body, and found not the slightest trace of disease of any kind. The Crown Solicitor has been requested to give his opinion as to the disposal of Deeiuing's autobiography. May 27. The Government has decided that the papers left by Deeming shall not see publication, and they will be destroyed. This Day. The Cabinet have decided to burn the papers left by Deeming, because their publication would prove injurious to the public mind. The letter addressed to the Liverpool Mercury contained many extraordinary charges against persons still living, while the letters addressed to the local papers contained rash and obviously untrue statements of accusations against persons residing in Sydney and Melbourne. The style of composition is a mixture of bombast and hysterical complaints against the world in general, and gross personalities disfigure every page.
