 Mrs Rice introduced this man as her uncle but on the stand o-day ad- nitted that he was not related to her In any way.
 Another important feature was a letter from Mrs Rice to Dr. Rustin, found in pr Rnstln's papers after his death This letter wns dated Apri [. 1908, and after thanking pr. Rustin for kindness while the writer was a patient said
 My baby Is doing nicely and grow ing fast My husband joins me in sending his best regards
