''She was not"
| Mr. Pteiffer explained that the let
ters of DR.. Hall to Mrs. Mills as pup

shown to Mrs. Hall and that sne ad-
mitted there was certainly similarity
| between the facsimile writing and the

Mr. Pfeiffer said that Mrs. Hall was

do you expect that there will be an

C. ther number of hours
Have you any deductions concerning
this case?"
"I have not
Can Mrs. Hall drive a carr"
"Yes."
The examination of Charlotte Mills
vas not only brief. but II was almost
ludicrous. Much Of Charlotte's time be-
fCre the Prosecutor was spent In ex-
planning that she was not in the habit
Of running around town with newspaper
raen. rs the Prosecutor seemed TO be-
l,eve. She repudiated their suggestions
with a considerable show Of spirit
a large basket full OF women's hair
combs was shown to her. Most of them
we're of the variety that can be pur-
chased in a and 10 cent store. Char
lotte said she could not identify any OF
| them. The few other questions put 10
her. aside from some questioning about
Florence North, were not important.
woman's Letters Are Concise.
In direct contrast 10 the letters Of the
volcanic clergyman. the letters OF Mrs.
Mills to Mr.. Hall are clear. concise and
calm, one having TO read between the
lines to get the outpouring OF woman's
| soul.
| In one she discusses book they hal
both read, at great length. The book
was referred TO In one of Halls letters.
and is by the author of the volume
previously referred to. Simon Called
Peter" which deals with the departure
Of an Episcopal minister from the
strait and narrow path. Another of
the woman's letters deals with her own
sufferings and indicates that in Hall she
| felt she had found sympathetic soul,
one to whom her Ills would be OF In
| terest.
The letters are given here as they
were issued by the Prosecutors office.
They are undated and unsigned. The
| first one reads:
six o'clock Oh. darling, darling
/ mine. what painful hours to-day.
