shot and killed in his office by Mrs.

however, it is believed that for some
time Guerin had obtained money from
her by the threat of making disclo-
sures to her husband unless paid for
keeping silent.
Mr.. Mcdonald declared that some
years ago Guerin had followed his wife
to California and insisted upon receiv-

cell at the station and was utterly I'M

ford White deposited $3.50 with a
New York trust company with instruc-
tons that ii should be paid TO the Mes
bit girl at the rate of S25 a week. Mrs.

she would not admit that there was a
provision that she should receive the

strOyed and some she had given to
her husband. Mr.. Jerome was assisted
materially in his crosS-eXamination by

her brother. He consulted the state.
