NEW YORK, Feb. 10-Mrs. Juliet
Breitung Kleist, the 19-year-old daugh-
ter of the wealthy banker, Edward N.
Breitung, sat unmoved in federal court
today while an attorney read many OF
her love letters, written just before
her marriage to Max Kleist. a gardener
and chauffeur, who is suing her par
ents for alienation of her affections
and is asking $25O,00O.
She was not at all perturbed as the
attorney read before the crowded court
room this letter:
october IS, 1913.
Dearest Maxi want to write all
day. Today is my birthday. l have
had the blues all day long 1t must
be the effects of my cold ] miss you
so much. I guess it is because l am
so lonesome. Please. Max, dearest,
don't worry. Everything will be all
right.
II am crazy to hear from you and so
anxious to know how everything is GO
ing. The most important thing of all
is to get job. Do as you think best

wait too long, but write soon. Love.

The next letter said:

to talk to you on the phone tonight |

YOU enough to give up everything for

After the reading of the letters
klcist took the stand and laid all the
blame for the marriage upon his wife !
in response to questions he said:

me 10 love her. She held my hand. She |
asked me to kiss her. At first I did
not. Finally kissed her on the cheek /
She was the first to speak of marriage
to me. I did not tell her she was

WASHINGTON APPREHENSlVE,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O-The news
that the Cunard liner Orduna flew the
American flag between Liverpool and
Queenstown, made administration Of
ficials more apprehensive than ever
that the practice is fraught with dan
ger to American shipping
It IS recognized in view of this oc-
casiOn that the German foreign office
has greater justification for placing
neutral shipping under surveillance
aud that should an American vessel be
destroyed by German submarine,
Germany would lave a stronger case
in court than otherwise would have
been the case.
