Gus. Mr.. Petit carried the paper

that your wife several months ago had
installed in your Office a photograph
that she might overhear your CONVEX

wife took out the photograph this
morning and then she told me all

"Shc admitted that it was true that
she had put the dictagraph in months
ago and had taken it out this morning.
She did not offer to explain why she
selected this morning TO take 1t out
or give any reason for doing so.
"She said she put the dictagraph in
because she wanted TO know what was
going on, that she had become sus-
picious Of her husband and wanted to
fnd out all that there was to be found

know what his women clients told him
and what he told them.
"She declared she was just jealous

declared she heard the shot fired and
the commotion which followed, but alb

"She explained that she had gone 70

rumor that she had had hair pulling

Carman also said that when the shot
was iircd she was lying on the bed in
her room upstairs. She had not re-
tired, but had lain down dressed. Eliza
