PURE MALICE.
ANONYMOUS LETTER FIEND. TERRORISES A TOWN. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Paris, Jan. 9. The town of Tulle, in the province of 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. The letters reveal diabolical intimacy with individuals’ lives, also the secrets of the Prefecture for the past twenty or thirty years. Some of the victims have gone mad and two are dead. A committee of townsmen collected funds or a lavish scale to track down the perpetrator, and Paris detectives have been imported, but I all in vain. The Prefect of Police received at the outset a letter of defiance, which declared 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.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
