The first information the woman's
husband had OF her dual life with
Stewart, who then lived under the
name of Browne, was contained in
a death note addressed to the minis

his failure to keep his promise to
marry her and for smashing her
hopes Of continued happiness with
her engineer husband. Stewart was
arrested and tried on a statutory
charge following the suicide, but
aside from severe censure from the
jury he escaped without punishment.
A short time later he was deposed
by the Presbytery, of which he was
an ordained member.
