Some text from the page: "Mrs. Wiseman and myself called at the office of the District Attorney, Asa Keyes, at about ten minutes after ten on the morning of August 21."
Some text from the letter: "Mrs. Wiseman further stated that she could and would bring three witnesses to prove that she was the person in the cottage. Mr. Keyes asked who they were, and she stated that she would bring them. Upon Mr. Keyes' later repeated inquiry as to who the witnesses were, Mrs. Wiseman informed him that one was her son in university, one was a dentist and another was the man who drove her to and fro."
Some text from the page: "Mr Keyes said he would have to call me later about that and asked if my sister had come. I told him I had seen my sister and that she saw the condition I was in and thought that he had been very severe with me and she did not think she could stand it. He asked me to go back to the Hotel and remain there until he called me. This was about 11:45. I remained."
