'''Special Investigation of Sir A. Conan Doyle'''

''To the Editor of "The Daily Telegraph."''

Sir, — I have been engaged for some time past in investigating the case of Mr. George Edalji, a young solicitor of Parsee origin, who was condemned at the Stafford Quarter Sessions of October, 1903, to seven years' penal servitude for the maiming of cattle. I should be much obliged to you if you would aid the cause of justice by publishing the results of my inquiry in an early number of ''The Daily Telegraph''. You would add to the favour if you would permit the statement to be headed "No Copyright," for I hope that in that case other papers — and especially Midland papers — would copy it in extenso. Only an appeal to the public can put an end to a course of injustice and persecution which amount, as I hope that I shall show, to a national scandal. 

Yours faithfully,

ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE<br />
Monkstown, Crowborough, Jan. 7.
