" You have produced a certificate of mar riage and laid an information againat mc for deserting you. In the first place you knew I was going away because I told you, and I also told you that I was not coming baok to Christchuroh any more. And, secondly, you know that you are not my lawful wife. When you enticed mc into marrying you I had a wife to whom I was lawfully married, whioh you knew, and I left England to escape a prosecution for bigamy. I ginned, but re pented long ago, and, although you deceived mc, I stood to you, and, for the sake of the two children, have submitted to a life of agony, of torture of the worst description, from you, a woman twenty years older titan I am, a shrewd j calculating woman, a modern Jazebel of the lowest type and wont descrip tion, a regular attendant at church and par taker of God's sacrament, but a hypocrite of the very worst kind. You devoted your life to ruin mc, and now you have accomplished it both body and soul, as you hope; but I am not afraid to trust myself to God's mercy. Oh, when I think of the past and of your hypooriay, how you have tortured mc in your quiet, nagging, and uncharitable words—cruel words—which I have seldom answered, and how you have led the outside world to deem you an angel of light, and how you have succeeded, it makes mc think there > surely cannot be a God cognisant of such cruelty, suoh sin, or He would never have allowed it. I am now going to die, and I leave you, to the remorse _of conscience—if you have any—that yon are my murderer. Yes, yon have murdered me—for I told you I had tinned —that every man's hand had been against mc, and what a hard struggle I had had to keep the home together, and to make you and the children comfortable, and I told you if I was stopped it would be my ruin; and you promised mc you would say nothing.
