1,000 lettert with love and rairrlage
for their theme were found In Wood

man wai hli appearance of alncerlty
It It not likely that he had any moral
perception that he wat doing wrong
He knew that be wat breaking the
law, but did not fail bound by legal
enadmenta. In each Inatanca he
plunged Into wooing with enthuilaim
He nemed to have a clear understand

At timet he look ctre to be well
drilled and talked about hla wealth
At othera he wai a plain man, mak

able to make each woman believe tliu
no other had ev"r attracted him at the

be could, but he often married women
when he knew they had no money. At

pleaded temporary financial e-mbar-ranment
The vlctlmi who live In
