Eastman admitted in the letter thaI
he did not dare take the chance OF
trial and had decided to draw the
curtains forever
While many others were as deeply
impressed as the jury foreman, the
searching Investigations OF the author
tiles fail to substantiate any Of East
mans claims.
The witness, William Sutton, VINO

Badly in Need Of Money.
Eastman had been living more vi
less by his wits of late. and there are
many now who believe that he Dor
rowed considerable money from ms.
Woodill. Being badly In need OF money
il is believed that the idea OF pawn
ing the jewelry came to him when
he felt that fight might be necessary.
This is the theory expressed by the
Baltimore police who found the TWO
diamond rings and brooch in the
pawnbroker's place.
With the exception OF her wedding
ring which remains uuaccounted for'
these were the only articles of jewelryI
worn by Mrs. Woodill when last seen.
The fact that Eastman had gone 20
baltimore Tuesday was known prior
10 the discovery of the pawned jew
eIry. II was that date that he mailed
the letter written sometime previously
by Mrs. WoodiIl TO her foster sister.
II is thought that the letter, which
was intended to convey the impress
sion that the writer was in Baltimorsl
was penncd by Mrs. Woodll either 10
mask her visit TO the bungalow or
else she had written the letter with
the idea actually of going TO Bait-
more after meeting Eastman.
