written by Coey to Miss Matthews
were read to the jury. They Indicate
that Coey was deeply in love with
Miss Matthews. They abound in pro-
testations of love. Such phrases as Il
cannot get along without YOU" Il will
live for you, if you live for me-" and
life is short, sy why can not we be
with the one we love the most" are
some Of those used.
In nearly every letter Coey encour
aged Miss Matthews TO be "a good lit
tie girl and to come back to him with
her health restored. Numerous clip
pings from Chicago papers about races
in which Coey had participated, yachf
he had purchased, and other new:
