Mrs Turnbull admitted having once

glances at Wood.
In another letter To Wood 5s+as

WOMAN EMBARRASSED
She was also questioned very closely
regarding her stay at Baldwin's hotel
at the Arcadia ranch. Her relations
with Baldwin were inquired into in
rnfnutest detail The attorney made a
vigorous effort to show by the woman's
answers that Baldwin had never de-
ported himself towards her as a hus-
hand would. He piled her with ques-
tions touching her ideas of delicacy and
propriety-
The questions and answers dealt with
the most intimate phases Of Mrs. Turn
bulls life with the millionaire turf
man. and the witness passed through
the ordeal with many evidences of en-
barrs ssment.
The witness testified Baldwin had
kept but a very limited part Of his
wardrobe in her apartments at the
hotel.
And Vet you consider that he was
living with you as a husband?"
Yes" was the answer
