TO SEATTLE MAN
A letter was introduced in evil.
dence. II was received here by o.
p. Callahan. president OF the Wash
inston Fertilizer Co. In the Hoge
building. from a girl he had never
known in 81. Paul. Miss Lucille
Ernster.
The letter said In part:
II suppose you wonder why
I'm writing. ] have no one 10
step With. II you WERE here
we would sure have ono IL Of
q time. With love from Lu.
ellie Ernster."
IL was then shown by Capt. az
Detectives Tenant tina, a sheet
Of payer had been found In Ma
honey's possession after his arrest
on which was written:
"sfiss Lucille Ernster. Main
soss Minneapolis: ] am sorry ]

ing you again. Write or wire
me 1t 400 Denny Way your
prcs~nt address. ,. T.. MS
honey"
Mahonsy. Tenant said. told him
that he had written the message
intending to wire II 10 Miss Ern-
ster. whom he and Mrs. Kate Ma
honey had met In ST. Paul and had
taken 20 the theatre.
Inasmuch as Mshoney was known
20 have been handing cards Of the
washington Fertilizer Co. quite In.
discriminatory about during his visit
In Minnesota, the state inferred
that one OF these cards. with the
name OF Callahan on II as president,
had fallen into the hands OF Miss
Ernster and that she. assuming the
man who had given II 10 her was
Callahan and not Mahoney. had
written the letter to Callahan In.
tending II for Mshoney.
The letter and unsent telegram
were introduced as evidence by the
state as tending further 10 show
that Mrs. Mshoney was not with
her husband when he was In St
Paul. Johnston objected strenu-
ousiy 20 their being put In evidence.
on the ground that they were
brought forth By the state merely
to prejudice the jury against the
defendant and were OF no material
value 10 tho state in proving the
charge OF murder.
Capt Tenant was called TO the
stand as the states last witness late
yesterday afternoon.
He explained. step by step. how he
had gathered the evidence that en-.
meshod Mahoney.
Tho crowd IN the courtroom leaned

worried expression.

told him . certain letter received
by w. ID. Perkins q So. Mrs. Ma
honcy's bankers here, had been
dictated by Mrs. Mahoney to q
stenographer I'm 81. Paul and
