This package was the subject of discussion in the German paper, whose comments had produced such a marked effect upon the prisoner when he read it.
This information I was compelled to receive for what it was worth.
The package had been delivered, and I could only depend upon the recollections of those who had seen it at the time.

Their statements or opinions would certainly not be received as evidence, nor could they be used in any legal manner.

They only served to strengthen my belief in William Bucholz's guilty participation in the murder, and determined me to pursue my present system of investigation vigorously and unremittingly to a successful conclusion..
