A lost love letter from Ed Biddle to
his sweetheart, Mrs. Kate Soffcl.
found In the 6now near the bloody
scene of their' capture, reveals the
long and careful plot for their escnpn
from the Allegheny county jail. The
letter clearly shows the hazardous un
dertakings of the Infatuated woman
to secure the escape of the Biddies.
Since December 2, 1901, they hail been
making preparations to escape. The
discovered erplstTo tells how Mrs. Sof
fel carried the saws to the cells of tho
Biddies. It manifests the extreme
enamnratlon of Mrs. Soffel for the
murderer and burglar. It clearly shows
the wonderful Influence Kd lliddlu had
over Mrs. Soffel.

reached Mount Chestnut not less than
half an hour after the Biddies and
Mrs. Soffel. At this point fresh horses
were awaiting them, and the chase for
life began anew.
Tho two sleighs, with the eight offi
cers aboard, started westward, and
met the IJIddles and Mrs. Soffel at
McCIure's barn, two miles from Mount
Prospect. The Blddlea having learned
that they were almost overtaken, and,
taking what they considered the only
chance they had, drove eastward and
met their doom. The Pittsburg and
other officers were armed with Win
chester rifles and revolvers of large
calibre. They shot to kill, and their
aim was perfect The Biddies tried
to kill to the laat of their atrlng. but

Kansas City. Mo.. Feb. 4. A siirL-l-
cal operation was performed yester
day upon General Frederick Funston
at a hospital. After the general ar
rived here from the west last week
and had sought-a consultation with
his physician it was stated that an

physicians believed It should, and the
second operation waa decided upon.
It was stated at the hospital that the
