Even high society sophisticates can be fascinated by a lurid murder.

February 11. Very material evidence yesterday before the Coroner in the Burdell case; that of one Farrell, who identifies Eckel – for particulars vide newspapers. The man gives his testimony candidly and cautiously and seems to be a total stranger to all the parties implicated. First impressions as to its entire reliability are very decided. But looked at closely, it’s a little queer, not quite consistent with other facts and very vulnerable, at any rate, to comment and criticism. . . .

Have finished my very voluminous answer to the Columbia College committee’s interrogatories. Sorry for the committee if it undertakes to read and digest the document. It’s a judgment on them; retributive justice for their own tedium and feebleness.
