lamb'' letters and Russell Griswold' $ suit fer. $50,000 heart balm rest with the jury tonight. The twelve jurors retired not lcng after noon today, talk ing with them the various patches of missives and pictures for perusal and inspection; and inasmuch as no word had come from the jury room at the hour for adjournment, Justice Brown directed that the verdict, If reached, be sealed and opened in court tomor row morning.
 Miss Smith Did Not Testify. Counsel for Miss Helen Woodruff Smith of Stamford, Conn, the forty year-old defendant, rested his case on Gr1swolds own testimony. He saw no need, he said, ito put the defendant ] on the stand and have her testify that she never held a mans hand or kissed him in public" In consigning his eli ent's fate to the jury, Miss Smiths $ lawyer arraigned GrisWold in scathing terms
 GriswoId Invaded Her Privacy.
 'The only thing a woman has is her privacy" the lawyer said. This per son. pointing to Griswold, has in vaded the privacy of the defendant by giving the newspapers her motherly letters. Why did he do that? I'll leave IL to you to guess, ana, dS you have listened to his testimony l don't think you'll have any trouble in guess ip1g;'. . y Griswolds lawyer pictured the plain tiff as a "brokeE- hearted little boy, whose life had been ruined by ma ture woman of the world And she turned him ruthlessly aside" he con- tinued with quavering voice. An, gentlemen, if you have ever been in love you must know the bangs of jeal- ousy. You must know the heart strains he endured. And yet, when he comes before court of justice he is jridi culed and the defendant laughs openly at him."
 No Actual Proof of Contract. In Justice Browns charge to tEe jury, he said: The plaintiff alleges that he was hurt and injured by the failure o1 this defendant to carry out a contract to marry him. She made the contract, he says, repeatedly, and still no actual proof has been offered to show that such d contract was made. The plaintiff offers a mass of core sponience to prove his contention that there was such a contract be-Ween them. He claims that the loving mes sages contained in them showed that there was a promise to marry. But it is for you gentlemen to decide whether there was a such contract. Read character and size by the evil dence as twelve intelligent men and render your verdict accordingly To Fix Damages. The justice also instructed the jury to fix damages if verdict were found for the plaintiff.
 The plaintiff called but one other witness at the conclusion of his cross examina nation-Mary Barrett, dones- tic employed by Miss Smith, who tes- tified that Griswold had been seen fre- quently about the Smith home.
 More Letters Read. More of the .'Ruzzielamb'' letters were read in court, counsel closing with the following:
 Dear Ruzzielamb, where in the dew il have you been? I have been sitting here alone enjoying the drinks and the smokes. Doesn't that sound devilish? :? Well, I hope you will soon get over to see your loving little Lydia Pink ham (B'Hild).''
 She Tcok Pity on Him.
 Counsel fer Miss Smith immediately began summing up.
 s'This man, said the lawyer, lived on this defendant and when she got tired of supporting him, he became angry and this is the result. He told the defendant that he was in ill health. She took pity on him, and as her let terS show asked him to V1Slt her at her home and get well. Her home was so situated, she said, as to give him rlapty Of fresh air, and to pay his board while there he could be the general man.
 She Proposed to Him.
 .tThis he became, and because the defendant tried to advise him as to the right manner of living, he says that she proposed 70 him. Imagine anything so funny as that, gentlemen; she proposing to him"
 Other Woman's Name Disclosed.
 Miss Smiths counsel asked Gris- void the Eanae of the woman who paid his board for two weeks at the Delaware Water Gap. 'She is Mrs. Craw of Rowayton, Conn., the plain tiff replied. .'She is a friend Of the family and has always been a sort of mother to me. The money was re- paid to her by my mother"
 Miss Smith Nearly Hysterical.
 Gmswold's reference to Mrs. Craw as "sort of mother to me-" provoked Miss Smith to merriment that border ed on mysteries
