Ethel Dingie's Letters 20 uF- Grnnt
Introduced.
Rochester. n. Y. May Cdr George
II. Grant was called by the defense N
the Kent manslaughter case and re.
quested to hand over all the love let
tiers that Ethel Dingle had written 70
him. The doctor arose and asked per
mission to say a few words. The court
granted the request, and the witness
in a musical voice began: These are
letters written to me by lady whom
I have always deeply respected. II i
with the deepest regret that I now pro-
duce them TO be published abroad
When Attorney Raines interrupted
him, asking, How much more Of this
must we hearT the court informed the
doctor that il there was anything IN
the epistles which should not be
brought out it would be suppressed,
Jack Mackay, the express agent from
Buffalo, who the prosecution maintains
was the cause Of Grants breaking off
with Miss Dingle three days before
their wedding day, was on the stand
for two hours. The witness fatty con
tradicted the testimony Of the whole
Dingle family, which was to the effect
that no wedding date for Ethel and
Grant had ever been set. He declared
that Ethel had planned on marrying
Grant on the same day that Mabel
Dingle, her sister was married to
Alonzo Van Allen Mackay said that
this double wedding had been depend
ed upon by the decedent and that she
had told him of 1t.
He also declared that Grant said to
him, do you suppose l would ever
marry Ethel Dingle?" This led him
to believe that Grant was double
crossing the girl, and he said he felt
sorry for her and tried to undeeeive
her. The last day Ethel Dingle was
alive she spent by the side Of Mackay
at the Buffalo General hospital. All
that day, said Mackay, she sobbed and
wrung her hands and repeatedly said.
Il can't stand it. l won't live" The
last time he saw her alive was when
she rushed out Of the room, closely fol-
lowed by Kent
A street car conductor testified that
Kent and Miss Dingle rode on his car
early one morning. This was when
the decedent is alleged to have attempt
ed suicide in Buffalo and Kent saved
her by chasing her all over the city
throughout the night.

promise which he made to visit the
celebrated mother house here.
Gorgeous royal equipages, with out
riders and positions in hunting livery,
accompanied by a military escort and
