atteuo0nce. In the afternoon xney came
in droves. and they came early. In fact
il seemed IS If Mr.. Piless announcement
had been IN advertisement Of theatrical
matinee attraction. and it is safe to say
that fully three-fifths Of the 100 people
who damned and hacked the court room
until there was not even standing room
left were of the feminine persuasion.
Instead of st once continuing the read
ing OF the correspondence, Mr.. Piles called
John Gonna. . colored man living in Ia
coma, who testified that he is interested in
two or three hotels in Tacoma, is in the
real estate business ana had sold Boyd
considerable property and got loans for
him. Last August Boyd wanted him to
fit up suite of rooms for his wife at a
house in Old Tacoma, and at ths same
time asked him if he would have any OBJ
lection to her entertaining two or three
sea captains and others. He didn't ge,
the rooms. Mr.. Miller declined to cross
examine the witness.
Mrs. Boyd then resumed the stand and
the reading Of tho letters was resumed.
A letter dated at Olympia. July 26, was
then offered in evidence. and Mr. Miller
arose and stated that he deemed it his
duty to give notice of the revolving lang
uage in the letter. Judge Humes ex.
amined it, and ordered it to be handed to
the jury for perusai. After while he
said that the letter may be considered read
for the present. Counsel could make
more detailed use Of it in his argument il
he chose, and thus was large proportion
OF the crowd disappointed in not hearing
what they went there for the purpose of
hearing. The letters are as follows, after
being Literally expurgated:

The last letter is not signed. and is writ
ten in scrawl very unlike the neat hand
in which the Others are written, with
many blots and interlineations.
Several letters were then read without
comment or explanation by the witness.
The first one. dated Olympia, May %, con-
tanned this:
