gaming table than he would think Of black =

PARIS, Dec. 3-The correspondent Of

Radzewski with Mrs. Ellen Gore, who was
shot In the rooms OF the Russian singer few
weeks ago. The letters are carefully pre-
served in bundles in the order Of dates
and are tied with ribbons The correspon-
dence begins in 1900 and ends with last
March. Letters subsequent to that date
are in Possession OF the examining Magis-
trate. NJ. Radzewski writes good English
in fire free hand. All the letters are
couched In a respectful tone.
In one letter Radzewski writes Mrs
Gore that he loves her and hopes to marry
her. He also speaks OF their future home
life together. In another letter the Russian
quotes Mrs. Gore as using the expression
as you say, when We are married. DC
From the correspondence IL is clear that
Radzewski considered himself engaged to
Mrs. Gore. For this reason his present
conduct is all the more inexplicable. II
is said that Radzewski intended to call on
Consul-General Gowdy and make an expla.
