Her testimony. however. given In q trem-
ulous tone and with apparent frankness,
contained very little information OF use

man in Europe In 1919 and after a three
year acquaintance had come to the con.
clusi0n that he was the most mys-

emphasis.
Al the conclusion of the bearing Mrs

letters which she had received from I.y.
man. She insisted that she had never
received anything Of value from him
She added that she VAS penniless and
had TO be supported by her relatives.
