Attorney Rand led Miss Patterson
over the most Of her tertimony given
yesterday and closely questioned her,
but failed to break down her story in
any essential feature. When Miss
Patterson said she could not remember
whether she had in possession June 8

keep your promise to me to produce
letter which passed between Miss Pat

winter"
'You must be in terrible straits" said
Levy.
