TO tho apartment in West Forty-
seventh Street. 1t was after the Christ
mas holidays, according to Sarah, that
she went up to the tower of Madison
Square Garden to see Richard Her

MIR: Pecora continued to speak gently
and patiently to the child.

"A young man and a young ladv
working typewriter"

Mr.. Pecora then offered in evidence
an envelope and letter, stationery of
the Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton, of which Rickard was the head.
Letter to Accuser's Mother
Max Steuer examined both with
great care. Then, in the same almost
lnaudible voice with which he had
made his few objections to the testi-
mony of the Schoenfeld girl, he in
formed Justice Wasservogel that the
defense did not deny the authenticity
OF the letter and had no objections to
ITS being introduced in evidence
The envelope was then marked "Peo-
Pies Exhibit No. I" and the letter
peoples Exhibit No. g." The letter
read into the record by Mr.. Pecora. was
as follows:
New York, January 1s. 1922.
Dear Mrs. Schoenfeld: l inclose
herewith letter which | have signed
and which you can send to the Gov
ernor of Wisconsin. 1t says that I will
bring the boy here, give him proper
medical attention and put him to work
Il hope you will succeed in getting
nin TeleaScd and that my letter will
have some influence with the Governor
Explain in your letter to the Governor
just where the boy Is and all the facts
regarding his arrest, the name Of the
warden, etc.
II think that the letter direct from
you to the Governor will have more
effect with my letter inclosed than by
my approaching the Governor direct
Yours very truly,
(Signed) "TEX RICHARD"
Lindsey Is Richards Cellmate
There we're indications then in the
faces Of Richards friends, at least,
that this letter was counted a strong
point for the defense, but after the
adjournment, which came then, Mr.
Pecora, speaking to newspaper men,
said:
THAT letter is going to be a very
important part of the states case"
Rickard told newspaper men that
his cellmate in the Tombs is Alfred
Lindsey, the broker of South Nyack
who is under indictment because of his
financial dealings with a number of
wealthy women.
