THE LATE CHAS. MARSHALL'S CASE.
TO TUB KDITOB. Sin,—My attention has only just been drawn to a letter which appeared in your issue of the Glh inst., from an individual styling himself "A Teetotaller," concerning the report in the l'rohibi tionist of the above ease. Ido not wish to speak ill of the dead, especially as the poor fellow was not to blame for his rush act, but 1 must refute the statements made in the letter of " A Teetotaller " ; and 1 am not alone in saying the liquor traiiic has brought one more victim to an untimely end. 1 was speaking to Marshall at half-past nine on the Fiiday morning prior to his death, and he was the worse of liquor at that early hour of the day, so how he could be " perfectly sober " when he went to bed is more than any sane person can imagine. 1 have it on good authority from a wellknown tradesman in Cambridge tiiat Marshall told him, a day or two before his death, that he had had thirteen pints of beer m the course of the day ; anil more than one tradesman in the same town has had to eject liiin from his business premises when in a drunken state. Trusting this will let your readers see matters in the true light, and thanking you in anticipation.—l am, etc.,
Cambridge Coukkspondknt to tui Prohibitionist.
