LETTERS READ I'm COURT
= BREATHE ARDENT AFFECTION
--eAtts HER 4m4 OWN DEAR
JULIA

Not since the beginning OF the
Hazelton case has the defendant APP
peared SO wan and tired, SO utterly
worn out. as when she walked into
Judge Hosmer's court room Tuesday
morning at 1890. She was more than
an hour late, caused by the fact that
her train from Ann Arbor was behind
time.
Mrs. Hazelton was far from well
on Monday afternoon, and her attor-
ney, Fl. b. Graves. feared break
don when she did not appear at the
opening of court. He phoned to Ann
Arbor. and learned that she left at the
usual time.
Mrs HazelteH was frst questioned
regarding statement OF her husband.
who testified that once while discuss
Ing clothing, she ordered him to cease
such a conversation before company.
She testified that she had no recol-
lection OF ever making such a state
ment.
I'm no prude, and don't think
would tell him to stop such CONVEX
sation. which referred to riding
habits" she said.
Attorney Groesbeck then took up
the reading OF letters written by Mr..
Hazelton to his wife In 1905. The
first one was dated June %.
my Own Dear julia"
my own dear Julia" the letter
starts, II reached the boat safely this
morning, selected room and then
went on deck. have been thinking
continually OF you and of our sweet
parting. wonder IL you are think
ing OF your laddie. as he is OF you.
AS selfish as Ii Is. hope you think
always OF me-" In closing he advised
her to take good care OF herself. live
in the sunshine as much as possible.
SO as TO be able to pour out some OF
II to him. He closes with the words:
And now my own sweet. faithful and
darling wife, goodbye"
In another letter he says: BE
thankful for what God has given you.
and show 1t by not complaining.
am going to put my resolution In
force, and keep my d. mouth shut"
In another letter Mr. Haxelton eyi-
OGuIl ICiCic " tACii oipPbtCS, 80 liz
writes: I'VE will never get anywhere
in orr struggles as long as each
blames the other. You say It Is. my
fault: I say 1t Is yours What Is the
result? Absolutely nothing. For my
part am going to keep my mouth
shut. TO be more charitable. close
mouthed and less fault-finding, or kill
myself. There is no use going on as
we are now"
Longs for Children.
In q letter written in the summer
Joys and sacrifices Of raising chill
dren.
1T has been my ideal since boyhood
20 bring up my own boy in my own
way" he writes. II have changed my
mind somewhat on account of the
expense and the sacrifices necessary.
1t means more work for mother and
added expense for me. Poor people
make the sacrifice; 1T seems to be
their aim in life. We couldn't. What
could you do In your state OF health?
There is nothing half so satisfying
for woman as to have the training
OF children Even I. man. believe
1t would be the greatest pleasure In
life to have children of my own flesh
and blood around me. II Goo gave
me the chance to be the greatest en-
sineer In the country, and no family.
or to remain as I am with family,
I would choose the latter. and have
my little brood about me. Now take
good care OF yourself, build yourself
up. Live in the sunshine all you can,
and put some flesh on your thin lit
tie body. Gods sunshine Is the great
est tonic In the world"
II am so sorry I wounded you," he
writes at another date. II wish you
were here SO that / could love and
pet you. L felt like taking the train
direct to you In Duluth. I do love
you. dearly, and will write big love
letter Ny heart is full Of love for
you, and beats only for you. and
some day It will stop when 1t cannot
make you happy"
Attorney Groesbeck had still big
bundle of letters to read when court
adjourned.
still Believes They'll BE ReconciIed.
More than an hours cross-examina-
ton by her husbands attorney Mon

sition taken by Mrs. Julia Hazelton,
wife Of Prof. william s. Hazelton,
who IL suing her for divorce, that he
will yet change his feelings toward
her and that they will again live to-
Eether and be happy.
The examination brought out pc
culiar state Of affairs. the attorney for
the husband trying to draw out from
the wife charges of selfishness and
cruelty on his part and her constant
refusal to make such charges except
~ forced to do 80.
HE was thoushtless and selfish. I
wish I could say he was not" she de-
ciared.
Can you think Of any more of-your
your husbands faults that you would
like to tell aboutr'
IF could. would refuse to tell
them. am not thinking of his
faults. would rather think charit-
ably of them
You are firmly convinced ut this
time that all the trouble was due TO
Will Hazelton's selnshness7'
