Batchelar We're read and in fre-breathed
words they told of the love the aged
Lothario entertained for his idol. He
called her his .'Tootsie Wootsie, aud
said .Oh, what bliss to kiss my sweet
Wilma
On Jan. g. 1901, he wrote: MY dar-
ling sweet Wilma: | must say, Tootsie,
| had very pleasant evening. You
just keep quiet with Mr.. p. Don't take
any notice Of him. love you.-Your
devoted
Jin.''
The Mr. P. referred to Mrs. Kadow-
sky said. was her husband. Soon after
the ardent but fickle Batchelar wrote;
My darling Wilma: / am more in lore
with you than ever. You look so charm
ing, and you dear, sweet brown eyes
shone so lovingly upon yonr
Jim. =
Again he wrote:
'Oh, sweet Wilma: You don't know
how happy and content l am in yonr
love- A kiss, my sweetheart, for you
for your sweetness"
Again:
"Oh, what bliss to kiss and kiss my
sweet Wilma"
The defendant did not try to deny the
authorship of these tender missives. He
admitted them all and looked rather
bored and uncomfortable during the read
ing, while, on the contrary, Mrs. ,Ka-
dowsky gaZed at her former lover with
an air of triumph
The plaintiff said that two days be-
fore she obtained her divorce Batchelar
offered her $1,000 not to bother him fur
ther. This she refused and kept calling
at his place of business and urging him
= 80 h"r ont TO lunch. He did this,
he said, to get rid of her. She said that
i-~l -J.intl over had assured her that if
he could do anything for her personally
he would do so.
He told me to be a good girl and
he would call to see me on the Quiet,r
she added.
THE END NOT YET.
When she told about her visit to
Batchelar's pastor, she said, he replied
that the clergyman made ''goo goo" eyes
at her because he liked nice women.
On cross-examination Mrs. Kadewsky
admitted that she gave her husband
money after she was divorced from him.
She said she did this because she did
not want him to suffer.
That the end has not come yet was
evident to all who saw Mrs. eKadowsky
at the conclusion Of yesterdays trial
carefully repack the love letters in her
dress suit case and gaze daggers at her
Eerstwhile lover, whose face bore an all
of triumph.

DRYER COMES HOME.
But He Is Too Dazed to Tel
Where He Has Been.

Louis Dryer, who disappeared from
his home, No. 100 Wayne street, last
Monday, returned yesterday afternoon
about four o'clock. He was in such
condition that nothing could be learned
from him as to where he had been or
what had happened to him. DR.. Wolf
son was called in and said that lie could
tell nothing at the time and advised that
Dryer be put to bed and allowed I'd rest
until this morning. When Dryer disap-
penred he was said to have had $4,000
in money and securities in his possession
Nothing was found upon him when he
returned. The idea of robbery was
secuted. however, as valuable gold
watch was still in his pocket.
DIR. Wolsfon saw Dryer again this
morning and advanced the opinion that
he had been given some kind Of drug
but owing to his patient still being in
a somewhat befuddled condition he could
not say ANYTHING definite. as he did not
make very lengthy examination Dryer
is not in a dangerous eontition.

R0EDE HEARING
THIS EVENING
Goldenhorn Said That He
Couldn't Attend: Later
He Changed His
Mind.
LIVELY TIME EXPECTED
s nsational Developments
May Occur When the AL
dermanic Committee
Gets Down to
Business.
LIVELY TIME EXPECTED

The special committee appointed by
the Board of Aldermen to- investigate the
charges preferred by Benjamin Fischer,
Morgan street butcher. against In
spector Of Weights and Measures a. E.
Reede viii take testimony at the City
Hail this evening.
Fischer alleges that he gave Roede
$40 oh demand in return for promise
that the inspector would not arrest him
for using short weight scales. Since
making his sworn statement Fischer has
expressed a desire to withdraw his
charge. The Mayor refused to listen to
any such a proposition.
Assistant Corporation Attorney /.
Faerber Goldenhorn, who has been di-
reefea to prosecute the case against
Roede asked yesterday for postpone
ment of the hearing until Monday even
ing. He said that he couldn't possibly
be in attendance this evening. The
Aldermen and the Mayor saw no par
ticular reason why the investigation
could not go on according to programme
GOLDENHORN TRIED TO HEDGE.
Mr. Goldenhorn left the City Hall this
morning With his mind.fully made up not
20 attend the hearing. Later Mayors
Secretary 0'Connor called him up on the
phone and told him to be on deck at the
appointed hour. Later GoIdenhorn prom
ised that he would be on hand.
Mr. O'coanor will represent the Mayor
atsthe Aeaaing t3' s-3-ss
Runners were current ffiis morning that
there will be some very sensational deyeI-
opments when the Aldermen put in their
probe
ROEDE rs READY.
Roede declares that Fischer's charges
are false. He said that he has dseor-
cred on four occasions that the butchers
scales were short weight, He did not
cause his arrest because Fischer said
each time that he did not know they
were out of order and promised to have
them corrected
Roede says that he finally confscated
Fischer's scales. He will produce them
at the hearing.
1t is possible that Corporation Attor-
ney Carey viii be on hand to assist Mr..
Goldenhorn, who, according to some of
Rcede's friends, ''has bitten off more
than he can chew
The aldermanic investigating commit
tee consists of Messrs. Calnon, Sharkey,
Wall. Cunningham and Roe.
