i hand, they came to some poetry which
Mrs. Allegretti said that she found
in her husbands desk at the office.
Judge Hall asked to read the verses.

According to the Allegretti method,
Shadow kissing" makes a Sapho os-
culation look like glass of ice water
Mrs. A1legritti's witnesses testified
that the candy man and the curly girl
were in the private office alone, that
she saw shadows moving together and
that she had to go away before she
saw anything that looked anything
like dissolution of the shadows.

getti took from the pocket of her hus.
band, reads in part:

want them, and I suppose We will
have to make the best of it. I sup

of things. Dolly you don't know
how loneome it is, even now, when
1 know that 1 shall not see you for
few days because love you SO much
and hate to see you go away even
for short time. Did you ever hear
that the hound could not fool the
fox But 1t seems that it did in this
case, but then there are more ways
than one, and that is the reason
suggested the plan. shall moi
write much this time, sweetheart
just cough to let you know that
think of my dear Nellie Well
will have to quit now, Sweet Black
eyes, and you can write and let me
i know when you are coming back tc
