found in Kate Stoddard's possession, which she
had written to Goodrich, and five from him TO
her, all showing that she regarded herself as
his lawful wife. She addresses him as my
dearest Charley" and INV dearest husband.

were married, went Though a ceremony
which she supposed lawful marriage, May
90, 1872, in New York, and was registered as
man and wife at the Astor House. Three of
his letters are dated after the alleged marriage.
The second tells her, SIT is better for both that
we should separate The third tells her not
to call herself his wife as they must separate.
He offers to furnish her with apartments in
New York, and to do everything for her, but
she must not tell his family of their mutual
relations, but as shown by her last letter she
was determined not to leave him, hence the
quarrel.
She seems to have carefully preserved every
thing connected with him that came into her
possession.

effect that under the laws of this State there
can be no such thing as a mock marriage be-
tween single persons. Any agreement to live
together as husband and wife marries them
in the eyes of the law, consequently Goodrich
must Ton the testimony already furnished) be
regarded as Kate Stoddard's husband when
killed.
