time thereafter. Not long after the
date named Appman went on flight to
California, and has Just returned. Miss
Richert gave birth to child six months
after the date upon which she charges
that Appman betrayed her by solemn
promise of marriage The defendant
does not deny the intimacy, but will, it
is said, deny promise of marriage, and
call special attention to the facts, as
alleged by Miss Richert, concerning the
date of the only criminal intimacy and
the birth of the child. The prosecution
