LETTERS CALLED
VILE AND OBSCENE
Attorney Bullard Said Mrs.
Lorenzo Woodhouse
Didn't Snub Girl

Burlington, Dec. Declaring that
the million dollar alienation suit
brought against Mr.. and Mrs. r. E.
Woodhoilse was instigated primarily
Tor advertising purposes and iii the
second place in an attempt to make
the Woodhpnses settle, ". A. Bullard
resumed his argument in behalf of the
defense this morning. He consumed
45 minutes of the three hours allotted
to him Friday afternoon before court
took a recess and his argument to-day
occupied two hours and quarter.
In opening his plea, Mr.. Bullard
quoted from Theodore Parker and
said, II win be as harsh as truth and
as uncompromising as justice" He
called attention to the remark Of Mr..
Austin when he said that Dorrit would
be an ornament to any home Mr..
Bullard said that was just what she
was, AN ornament" "A bird whose
feathers gaily Haunted does not In d
cage abide" guoth Mr.. Bullard. NShe
did not want home" said the attor-
ney She wanted something else,
Mr.. Bullard then went ON to say
that in all the letters Of Dorrit which
had been produced, there was not one
word of encouragement to Douglas
mot word in her Cutie Pie letters
was there about home" said Mr.
Bullard. Then he stated that the let
ters, instead were 90 vile, obscene,
nasty and vulgar that They could not
be read in open court.
The matter of the first meeting be-
tween Dorrit and Mrs. 4. Il. Wood
house was dealt with, Mr.. Bullard said
the plaintiff mad stated that Mrs. i. E.
Woodhonse received the girl in the
garden on a June evening at the In
stigation of Douglas. Together they
talked over matters and Mrs. i. f.
stated that she wanted her
son to put in a fountain opposite the
one already in so that there would be
symmetry in the garden.
Mr.. BuIlard could not see anything |
very cold about the reception. He |
didn't think that IL was necessary for |
Mrs. Woodhouse TO say to Miss Stew |
ems on her first appearance, Come on,
my beloved. You are the one for whom |
have been waiting all these years." |
There was nothing to substantiate the |
slaim that Mrs. Woodhouse snubbed /
aer. On the other hand the attitude
u Mrs. 1. 4. Woodhouse was just /
what 1t ought to have been.

In reference particularly to Mr.. Kel-

parchment, certain radical leaders
seeking to serve notice upon every fu-
ture attorney general that if he dares
enforce the laws of the United States
against objections he does 40 under the
penalty Of attempted impeachment.
Joined in the move with these, he
asserted, were 'the profiteers, the
grafters, the so-called war defrauders"
who sought BY unconscionable and I'M
scrIpulous means to gain knowledge
Off what those charged with bringing
them 10 justice have secured as the re-
suit Of the most painstaking, faithful

Wherever consistent with protection
Of the governments interests and
