Envelope Sent by the "Zodiac" Killer

(Original Caption) San Francisco: This is a copy of the white envelope in which the latest Zodiac letter was mailed to Attorney Melvin Belli. It contained an emotional appeal for help from the cryptograph murderer who has been linked to five murders in the San Francisco area and claims he is responsible for three others. The letter also contained a bloodstained piece of shirt torn form one of Zodiac's victims. Belli, in Germany where he is attending a seminar of attorneys, issued an appeal to Zodiac to contact him and advise how he could help. Zodiac's letter indicated he was "losing control" and might take his 9th and 10th victims.
