Was this threatening letter addressed to you or to your husband?—To my husband.
Then he never wrote to you a threatening letter or any thing else?—No. The letters threatened both. Peace never wrote to me.
Then again with regard to the pink envelope and the cent coin the following took place:—
Mrs. Dyson (recalled) was examined by the coroner, who said: Are you an American by birth?—No.
You have been living in America?—Yes.
Where did you see this coin last (meaning the cent)?—I cannot say where I have seen this. I have seen several.
Do you know where Peace got it?—No.
Did you give it to him?—No.
Did you never give a coin at all?—No, I did not.
The papers, after Peace’s identification, published an account of the interview of Peace, before the murder, with the Rev. E. Newman, in which he made charges of a very gross kind against Mrs. Dyson, and produced letters, &c., in support of his allegations. There can be little doubt that these letters are identical with those afterwards found by the police-officer.
