Bridges parried almost all the ques

sertions that she did not remember.
She was cool and collected until one of
her 1stters to See signed Your Wife
and addressed to Dear Evelyn" who
was called husband" in the epistle,
was read as evidence. In the letter
she promised See her everlasting
love" and addressed him in endearing
terms.
The words love-" dear wife and
husband she said, did not have the
meaning ordinarily given them She
said before the letter was read she
never used such terms to See.
She admitted that See kissed her
and that she returned the salutation,
but to every question which involved
her personal relations with See and
the rites performed in the temple" of
absolute life she gave evasive an
swers. The court had ruled that she
need not answer questions which might
tend to incrininate her.
