Taught Him to Love Her.
A few more letters were read by Mr.:
Crowley. but they lacked the punch OF
the earlier missivcs. After they had
been read the witness was turned over
10 Mr.. Nicoll for cross examination.
Kieist he'd been elf-posscssed az all
times. showing no embarrassment even
when the most tender parts of the let
tiers were read. Much of the time he
sprawlcd his legs out so that they gave
an impression that he was much taller
than he is. Almost continuously a
smile was in his eyes as well as on his
lips smile Of confidence that was
not offensive.
Mr.. Nicoll took him over great
part of his testimony given on direct
examination on Tuesday, particularly
referring 10 Kleist's statement that the
girl had wooed him. He repeated that
she told him she loved him before he
broke down and confessed to her that
he was all for her.
"Did she teach you TO love herr" MI
Nicol asked.
ayes SIR" the witness replied Sc
riously. and a general laugh followed.
The Breitungs took part in this.
"And before you attempted to hold
her hand, she held yours?"
Eyes sir"
Kleist gave his answers with only
the slightest hesitation and with the
air of a recent belligerent trying to
defend himself from a charge that he
fired first. He said that she was the
first TO mention matrimony, and that
he was dazed into silence when she
closed her soft hand around his. She
had asked permission to kiss him, he
said.
"Did you refuse her first request?'
"Yes."
But you finally gave in?"
"Yes."
Mr.. NicolI said he was anxious to
learn what induced the girl to court
him with desperate abandon. Kleist
said he didn't know.
Letter Mentions Evidence.
at might have been your fatal
beauty, might it not?
81 don't think So"
He said, answering questions, he had
never told her she was pretty or witty,
but that he had told her she was good
girl.
Mr.. Nicoll asked the witness if he had
ever told Juliet that he was a noble
man. Kleist said he had not, though
before the wedding he told her he could
legitimately prefix won" to his name.
Kleist was then asked about his work
in the silver mine in the West to which
Breitung had sent him to become a
mining engineer. He started at the bot
tom, he said the very bottom Of
shaft and got SO a day as a mucker.
He told of receiving some money from
Breitung to take him West.
He denied that prior to his return to
this city in April, 1914, he had any in
tention of suing Breitung for alienat-
gin the girls affections. Thereupon Mr..
Nicoll read this letter, sent TO juliet
from the mining canp at Mogollon on
March "a. 1914:
Dear Juliet: | am very sorry that

"What did you mean by 1T will be

suaded her not to be with me any
