being unable to secure bail
She is charged with forgery in pro-
curing the signature Of Senator Platt
and affixing it to a letter in which the
senator purported to acknowledge her
as his wife. The senator declared that
he did not write the letter and pro-
duced a woman witness who said she
had secured the senator's signature to
a blank sheet and given it to Miss
Wood. The charge of perjury against
Miss Wood is based on the marriage
certificate attesting to her alleged
marriage to the senator which he has
declared a forgery. The printer of the
blank form of the certificate testified
that the form had not been printed at
that time.
