 "Shc said she was going with Mil Ter when she got her divorce.
 Did you talk with Mir. Stephens and Bud about watching the Golden Eagle to keep Miller from going there.' was asked.
 "I did Bud said to his father. I'll watch the place if you will get i Johnny Vickers and go after Etta.' Did Bud or Mr. Stephens talk about placing charge against Mil ler?"

 Witness here produced an en- velope. He tore it open and produc- ed small pocket comb. Attorney O'Sullivan requested that it be filed as Defendants Exhibit No, l.

Stephens comb or Mrs. Stephens comb or the proprie- tors or ii might have been left in the room of Mrs. Stephens by some previous occupant.
 Attorney O'Sullivan. insisted: Bud has already testified that Mrs. Steph- ems first said 1t was hers and later she said it was Miller's.'
 Attorney Clark: ''It is still hearsay. If you will put Mrs. Stephens on the stand to identify the comb, that will be the best evidence Till she cor roborates Buds statement. it is not proper to place the comb in evi- dence"
