A representative of The Globe called to-day at the house of Dr. James Canille, Dean of the College of Medicine for Chinese, who is the blend of Sun Yat Seu, referred to in the accounts of the kidnapping case which have been published.

It was addressed to Mre. Caraw. He also admlited writing several other letters

Several paragraphs were then read from the letters, as follows, and were all ideatified by witness as having been written by him to Mrs. Carew :-
