Newspaper Women Cannot Stand l.

yelling to her eyes. two Newspaper
women accustomed TO harsher scenes

room and made a haSty retreat out Of

himself relented somewhat and sUg
gested that the proceedings suspend.
Delmas thought he detected an Unfa
vorable slant to this, and protested
that the witness would be able 10 rro-

Jerome to proceed.

bedroom was no more bitter than 9th

She denied that she had intended foG
the jury to assume otherwise.
