A SAD AFFAIR.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Perth, March 12. Mr O’Connor left a letter which shows that the Coolgardie water scheme preyed on his mind. He says : “ The position has become impossible. I am anxious, as I havo important work to do and three Commissions of Inquiry to attend to. I might not have done as well as possible in the past ; we will necessarily be too hampered in the immediate future. I feel that my brain is suffering, and I am in great fear of what the effect of all this worry will have upon me. I have lost control of my thoughts. The Coolgardie scheme is all right. I could finish it if I got a chance and protection from misrepresentation, but there is no hope of that now, and it is better that it should be given to some entirely new man to do, who would be untrammoled by prior responsibilities.”
