“THE TIGER’S EYE”
REIGN OF TERROR CAUSED. ANONYMOUS LETTERS. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Jan. 25, 8.20 p.m. Paris, Jan. 24. After a handwriting expert had examined two hundred anonymous letters received in the town of Tulle and compelled eight suspected women to write passages dictated from letters, he concluded that Madame Laval, sister of a police official, wrote most of the letters. Laval has now disappeared.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
A message received some weeks ago stated: A reign of terror has been established in the town of Tulle, owing to wholesale anonymous letters, which have continued since August. At least a hundred letters signed “The Tiger’s Eye” have been pushed under the doors oi houses, accusing the husbands or wives of adultery. In some eases, the details are so circumstantial that homes have been wrecked and two men have gone mad owing to anxiety. Big rewards are offered, and special Parisien detectives are engaged, but they failed to trace the writers, who are apparently in a gang.
