Klndneis and love oan do won ders. We are done with life, care nothing what any body thinks or aayt about It. This, like most ot the letters, was dated Deo. 24, 1889, but there was n postscript dated "11 F. M Jan. l, 1BUU." as follows: Under all conditions if In your power and the money Is yours above my debit to you, do good with IL Uo good Good buy. Still anothor lettor was addressed simply "to my half brothor," and datod Dec. 24. It road : W hatever may happen, you need not trouble yourself. Heretofore you hare been no friend of ours.

I knewonlytoo well that which you told me was only wind no meaning. Nbat yon aay or do only to show off grsat man. There wore sovernl lotters besides theno, but none of apparent significance. There was also n dood, which showed that in 1881 Frankon had purchased of tho holm of tho Drako ostate two lots, numbored 16 ana 75, on Hevonteonth and Kluhteopth streots, near Ninth nvonue, in llrooklrn. Nothing clso Indicated that he had any property, nnd it Is prosumod that the lots passed out of his hands. The letters were written in a fairly good hand, and the mis Spoiling and bnd grommnrsoomod to Indicate not so much illiteracy rs tinfamillarlty with tho languugo. Tho appearance of hlB face as ho lay In his coffin yostorday did not Indicate brutality, and was not ruoulsito. Tho chonp laco curtains nt the window of tho bodroom and othor llttlo adornments about tho plnco Indicated that tho family had boen acoustomod to living In bettor stlo. Word of the tragedy was telegraphed to the officer-) of Noe Valley l.odgo In Han Francis co, nnd It Is expectod that word will be rocolved from thorn to-day to throw some light upon tho rr-latlvos of the family It tho rotatlvosdo not mako thomseltos known In tho moan tlmo. Dlllgont Inquiry fallod to discover yesterday tho Identity of tho half-brotbor so blttorly ro forrod to. No one callod at the undertaker's to Inquire about tho doad family excopt those moved by ourlOBlty, and the only thing loarnod to Indicate that thero wore any living relatives of tho family was a story of somo women to whom Mrs. Franken bad spoken of having a brothor on tho police forco In Now York. Even her maiden name had not beon discovered by the Coroner last night. It was found that tho Frankons had lived for nearly two years boforo moving to Maujor stroot in roomB at 117 Boerum street. The Seople thore had known Mrs. Franken ns a ard-worklng woman, who supported tho fnm y by taking washing and scrubbing whllo Frankon lay around on a loungo all day, sing ing and reading tho papers, or olso taking care ot tho baby, which was only two or three weeks old whon tho family moved Into the house. He wandered off with It sometimes, being gono for a day at a time, and keeping Mrs. Franken In cnnstnnt terror lest ho should kill It. On April 25 last Franken did not roturn with the child at ovenlng. Tho Bushwiek avenue pollco wore notified that Franken had taken tho ohlld out the day beforo, and had not returned. On tho following dny ho was found wandering around somo woodlnnd In Jamaica with the child near ly doad of exposure. He seemed crazy at that time, but no action was taken borond restor ing him to his family. At that time Dr. Levy of Ewen street was callod to attond htm, and Boveral times nftorwnrd he doctored him for colds and similar complaints. Ho also made out several certlllcatos ot incapacity or sick ness to n?6l9t Frnnkon In cotttng the bonellt due him from tho California lodge. The Ira- Prasslon ho got of the family was that Mrs. ranken was a hard worker and worthy of as sistance, nnd thnt hor husband was lazy and a llttlo queer In his mind. Mrs. l'rankon told tho women ntll" Boorum stroet that sho had met her husband and mar ried him In Man Francisco, nnd that than for tho benefit of hor husband's health thoy had taken n sea voyage to New York. Thoy had also gone to Chicago at tho time of tho An archlst excitement, and woro there at or ubout the time of tho hanging of Spies and the rest. Hor husband bad given a hundred dollars to tho widow ot ono of them, nnd had assisted others ot (heir families. He had declared that all tho money he could raise should go to help tho Anarchists, and that ho would take the victuals ottlris tnblo for them. ... . Mrs. Franken also enld her husband would never ghe her a cent, although he always had J 8,1 with him. Hho snld this money, ho de clared, did not bolong to him, but was being kopt for some one else, who would oome after it somo time. It was doubtless tho idontlcal money that was found In tho lotter to tho cre mation Booiety. The nolghbors always be hoved that Franken was actively at work with Anarchists during the tlmo bo spont away from nib home, but nothing that tho Coroner discovered among his papers showed that he was a working membor of any society. That bo might havo taken pains to' ronceal such connoctlon Is indicntod by tho fact that In many places In the lettors ho loft he carefully erased names that he had originally written In that might have given cluos which for somo reason he desired to suppress. A pamphlet history ol the trials of the Anar chists was found In bis room. The only othor book visible was "Cutter's I'hyslolojry, Anat omy, nnd Hygiene." which lay on tho tabic The Coroner thought from this fact that he might havo used olther poison to kill his wife or an nna?sthitIo of foimo sort to make hor un coiiscIoub. Tbero was an empty bottle and some classes scnttored about the bedroom, but no Indication of what their contonts bad been. Obituary. John Drake.
