She denied that she or Mrs. Cross ever knew Garland un- til they met in the Phillips household as result Of the kind act which Gar land had done when Mrs. Cross was in dire straits and had sent. for her niece. The relation of this act caused Mrs. Cross to bscome interested in him, and after the meeting, Gar1aad's $ recitation of knowing her dead hus- band was pleasing and believed to be true.
 Mrs. Cross needed some one to care for the extensive interests in the jew elry concern in which she was a large owner, and powers of attorney were drawn for this purpose. Garland later sold several pieces of property. When asked for returns from the sales he would postpone the payments, stating that he either had not been paid, or that business necessity demanded that he wait longer for the money. He would settle with Mrs. Cross from time to time with part payments of $1, ,D0O at a time. At times Mrs Gross
 was very much annoyed by the meth cd Of payment

She had read no papers and had been in conmnni- cataon with none from this city. which she reached last night at 9:37s from New York, wf41o4lf even seeing her daughter, who was then at the thea Ire. She denied that she had talked l with anyone concernfng the case, since returning.

 not correct through The Farmer the:
 bad opinion people have formed sef
 me. Although cannot talk freely now owing to instructions from my
 counsel, MT. Wilder, know the peo- pie will believe my statements through The Farmer
 I Immediately upon her being excus-
 ed by Coroner Phelan from further
 testimony she was instructed not to talk to reporters and to hasten to her attorneys office.
 It is believed that as soon as a certified copy Of the chemists am ialytfcaI report is received by Coroner Phe1au from New York, if found to tally with evidence already presented, a finding of death by natural causes will result. aN
