. Both Miss Emma
Steele and Mr. Claude Burgess, the lady and gentleman
concerned in the case, are known personally to Mr. Baggally.
"Miss Steele writes as follows:--
"'16 and 17 SILLWOOD PLACE,
"'BRIGHTON, _13th March 1912_
"'Mr. Claude Burgess, who is an invalid, had been
staying at my private hotel, at the above address,
for some months. He left on 15th February to take
up his residence at No. 10 Belgrave Place, Kemp
Town, Brighton. In the interval between the date
of his leaving and the night of the 5th inst.,

Wednesday, 6th March, in the afternoon, a man
called while I was out and left a note from Mr.
Burgess, which I enclose. I was much surprised by
its contents. It struck me most forcibly getting

with great difficulty with his left hand. He very
seldom writes now, so it must have made a great
impression on him seeing me as he relates in his
letter.
"'EMMA M. STEELE'
"The letter from Mr. Burgess to Miss Steele referred to
above, which is now in our possession, was as follows:--
