written notification that she was
about to take a vacation weekly,

tai sum of S1OO.
Evelyn admitted she had kept
company with Jack Barrymore, an
actor, and he had proposed. She de-
MED emphatlcally the operation on
which the prosecution expected to
score a point. She made an explana-
ton, apparently damaging about a
cablegram she sent to White from
France. She declared the secretary
of the embassy, at London had an

this that the cablegram was sent.
She said they had no connection with
her European travel with Thaw. Je-
