THOUGHT STOKES WOULD BE
MUCH MORE INTERESTED.

Mr.. Buckner wanted to know why.
after reading this letter, aud giving
Miss Graham first aid remedies for pol
con, Miss Conrad picked out Stokes TO
go to for help. She said It was because
his name was In the letter and Miss
Graham had odd her enough OF the az
fair with Stokes 20 make her think he
would be very much interested In her
attempted suicide.
Q. Why didn't you get you own Nhy-
siran7 A. I didn't want him. I didn't
know him very we'll ana I thought Mr..
Stokes would send some one h could

lie. ] was very anxious to keep II quiet.
y. You saw In the letter that Miss
Graham said Stokes had refused to give

Q. Didn't II occur TO you tina an

she discovered Mics Graham uncon.

MONEY STOLEN JUST As LET

Q. Just as the letters were stolen,
A. Yes. (heatedly) Just a. the letters
were stolen.
The innusndo In Mr.. Buckner's tone
was too strong for Miss conrad's tenn
per. Her big eyes flashed fire and she
leaned forward as though about TO
spring upon the young prosecutor.
From this incident Mr.. Buckner went
abruptly into the story OF the shooting.
The only new point ELECTED was that
Miss Conrad saw Stokes fire two shots
himself. Miss Graham had testified that
she remembered Stokes firing one sho,
at Ethel. and Miss Conrad. In her direct
story. had mentioned ono shot. But to-
day she was quite positive that Stokes
fred one shot when she picked up the
chair In the hail and another when she
got her revolver and commanded him ID
drop his. Then Ehe fred and he dropped
his revolver.
Buckner asked why she hadn't tol(

And Miss Conrad buried her face IL

with subdued laughter.
Back again 20 the Stokes Interviews
leaped the Prosecutor. but he secured
little satisfaction from mis- labyrinthian
inquiry.
Buckner tried 10 shake the girls stor,

Miss Graham over the 500 Stokes had

Graham to Europe. Miss Conrad cor.
