son. I have been very busy. As
you know I have just passed through
perhaps tho most horrible ordeal that
any human being over was called up
on to do. I could never have done
this In my own strength. But I give
all the praise to a kind and loving
Providence for giving me strength
spiritually and physically. I know
I have been an unnaturel monster,
but the dear Lord regenerated me,
so he could use me. I have told the
whole truth. I did not shield my
self or anybody else, nor did I
wrongfully accuse any Innocent per
son. I could not send you a copy of
the manuscript, as I have made a
contract to have it published and
have agreed not to divulge any of the
contents. I got a good contract and

got $1,000 In cash to start with. If
you get McClure's Magazlno you will
get some of the first chapter, In the
next Issue. I think I will get enough
money out of this so as to make my
dear wife and llttlo daughter com
fortable. I have used them shame
fully and disgracefully, but the dear
Lord has watched over them and
spared them. And I love them bet
ter than my own life now since God
has taken away my stony heart and
given me a heart of flesh and blood.
I have been greatly strengthened
spiritually since I have been on the
stand. I relied upon the promises of
God. I fear I did not trust Him as
fully as I should have. His ever
abiding presence gave mo strength
If I had thought I was right, I could
havo taken my own life a great deal
easier thau to go through that awful
ordeal, and It Is not finished yet, but
I can go through the rest easier, as I
have learned to more fully rely upon
God's grace, and I know ho will never
leave or forsaken me, if I do not
him.
I would like to use tho first two
letters you sent me in my book If you
have no objection. Please let me
know If I may. I will not use them
without ypur permission. I am well
and hope thi3 will find you the same.
I will closo with the kindest thoughts
toward you.
ALBERT E. HORSLEY.
P. S. You will understand now
why I signed as I did before.
HARRY ORCHARD.
Orchard's previous letter was
signed A. E. H., per Harry Orchard.
This was before he revealed his right
name and prior to his taking the
stand.
INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE
The man referred to In the fore
going, Is named Ganey. Soon after
Orchard made ,hls confession this
man wrote him a remarkable letter.
He narrated that he was standing on
the platform at the Independence de
pot when the wire was pulled that
fired tho dreadful mine. In the aw
ful horror ho lost one foot entirely
and tho other was rendered useless.
After suffering great torture ho was
again able to get about, but was
obliged to face the fact that he was a
hopeless cripple.
The man added that, though he
had suffered so, he had fully for
given th0 author of the explosion.
Continuing ho sent Orchard a re
markable message of a religious na.
ture.
Those who have seen the letter say
It reads as If It might have been
written by some great bishop of
splendid literary attainments and
deep consecration to the cause of re
ligion. It shows this man who lost
his feet In the explosion Is splendidly
educated and had a polished mind
heart.
Tho letter was withheld from
Orchard for some time, as It was
feared It would move him too deeply.
When It was handed him, Orchard
was powerfully Impressed. After a
time ho replied expressing his ap
preciation, and the correspondence
has been f-firlcfl on at intervals
since.
Ganey's consent to have tho letter
used was secured, and Mr. McCluro
now has It to appear In connection
with other Orchard matter In his
magazlno.
There is still another letter of
great Interest among thoso secured
by Mr. McClure. This is from
Orchard's first wife, whom ho de
serted and who had not heard from
him for 10 years until ho opened
communication with her after get
ting into prison. This letter shows
her to bo a woman of culture aud re
finement, of great ability and of the
highest character. Those who have
road It have found tears springing
to their oyes as thoy have pursued It.
After Mr. McCluro had read It, he
handed Orchard an additional ?50,
requesting him to send it to his wifo
from him as a testimonial of his ro-gard.
