Denver, Nov. 25.-Mrs. Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, on trial charged
with the murder of her husband, was
cross examined today, and against her
version of the shooting that she shot
her husband while he was in the act
of trying to strike her, the state pre-
sented the testimony of physicians
who performed the autopsy and the
mute evidence of the dead mans
clothing. They showed the bullets
entered the back, one through the
right shoulder and the other through
the heart.
Mrs. Patterson denied she shot her
husband while he was on his knees
before her and after she told him she
would kill him if he did not dismiss
his alienation suit against Emil w.
Strouss, the Chicago clothing manu-
faeturer.
etters were introduced in which
endearing terms were used by both
Mrs. Patterson and her husband In
correspondence while they were en-
gagged in furnishing their home.
HER APPEARANCE CHANGES.
Until this afternoon Mrs. Patterson
had been to most of those watching
the progress of her trial, frail wom-
an of appealing beauty who had been
made the pawn of two men; the one
buying her girlhood and the other
selling her wifehood.
On direct examination she had told
a story of abuse and cruelty on the
part of her husband. She had told OF
her incessant demands that she get
money for him from the millionaire
adn1irer of her girlhood and of the
brutal beatings that followed her re-
fusals.
Today when she resumed the stand
to face the pitiless cross examination
under which she writhed for three
hours yesterday, the story of her hus-
bands brutality had lost much of its
force. Against it the prosecution had
introduced her own letters, written to
her. husband on dates separated only
by a rev days to those on which she
had testified he had administered beat
fngs SO severe that she was confinesl
to her bed. Those letters, full of love
and endearment, told him that he was
the only cure for her unhappiness. de-
clared that they must never be sepa-
rated again-"not even for a single
night" and spoke of the bungalow
she had fitted up for him with the
little sleeping porch Just off my
room"
Just be happy. Charlie" she wrote.
and the way to be happy is to know
that you have got the best little loving
wife in the whole world
n These letters raised the unspoken
question, how could she write in such
a strain with the bruises of his beat
ings still upon her body?" and that
question loomed large in the minds of
many of those who watched her on
the witness stand today.
In his effort to tear down Mrs. Pat
terson's testimony, Prosecutor Benson
introduced letters from the witness to
her husband, letters from Patterson
to his brother in Chicago, in which
the dead man freely discussed his af-
fairs, and Patterson's diary and other
papers found among his effects.
