something due me, for you expressed
yourself that way. If you think you

Louisville attorney to see Jake Holt
man, and also to get evidence to bring
to California. He will write you. He
is one of the best. / told him / had
married Jake HOLMAN. We can prove
that he was separated and Jake Is
scared to death. You know that he

CHn9S TO Lawyer
The next letter reads as follows:
palace Hotel Cincinnati.
Dear Mr.. Rogers: 1 will enclose
newspaper clipping about the suit. l
have never given you up as an attor-
ney and use your name in this suit.
/ will get the alimony here, and If you
want to will bring the divorce suit
there or you can come here. The
newspaper article Is not exactly
straight, but as straight as they ever
get anything. 1 think you will stay
by me. told them the marriage was
IN an office that Jake said was a mag
istrate (only told the attorney this);
so that can be changed If necessary.
l hope and pray to God you will stay
by me and that you are the wonder
1 have thought you were. Nobody
knows anything of the certificate or
the evidence you will have. My at
torney here is good, but he has one
Of Kentucky's best. Some think mine
is better, but 1 will take you In pref
erence to all. 1 can come there next
month, as 1 am going to hospital. I
will write you before 1 come.

palace Hotel, Cincinnati.
Dear Mr.. Rogers Judge Tarvin is
going to write you, and 1 hope you will
answer him. He thinks he might come
to Los Angeles, but thought writing
you would be just as good. 1 am un-
able to come to see you physically and
financially. 1 have just got out Of the
hospital, and am feeling dreadfully
bad. My life is holding by a thread.
Get me some sort OF evidence of mar
riage with Jake Hoffman. He has
treated me shamefully, and we can get
all we want out of the case. 1 used
your name in the matter, as you told
me you would stay by me. / have told
here all the time we were married, and
have gone under his name. I told ev-
erybody in California we were married.
1 told Carl Stanley when we went into
the Van Nuys hotel that / was Jake
Holtmans wife, but that he was in
trouble and that / would have to regis
ter in my name until the woman left
Los Angeles, so a certified certificate
or any sort of evidence will save my
life if l can get it. 1t means death to
me. ! hope to God you will do ID for
me. Oh, for Gods sake, do. Judge
Tarvin knows you to be the head of
your profession there, and he is here
Oh, do pull me out of this. I have
never told any one but you my story
and 1 know it is safe. Pull me out for
my sake, and also for what you and
Judge Tarvin will get out of it. 1 will
go over to Louisville tonight, and will
stay there until / hear from you or
Judge Tarvin does, or will probably
stay until the trial comes up. Please
do what you can for me.
