Now, what have Mr.. Valentines en-
ployers to say to all this? They, too, have
flod afidavits How do they explain what
Mr.. Valentino considers sights, insults
and abusive treatment?
They don't bother to explain most of
them. Even if so much of Mr.. Valen-
tinos charges were true. they say in
effect. it would have nothing to do with
the case. The president of the motion
picture company remarks:
"The final excuse now proffered by the
defendant for deserting his employment
is mass of trivialities. which he alleges
have worked to his discomfort aud ncon-
venipnce.
There is only one issue involved here:
Has Valentino broken or threatened I"
break his express negative covenant not
to engage his services to others than the

Then he goes on to tell how, when act

his services to be worth $1,000 per week

Valentino has stopped work for his

with Valentino hecauS" he spoke very poor
English, had difficulty in obtaining en-
ployment, and | suspected that at times
he was actually hungry. | took no other
interest in him at tn" time.
zone day early in 1918 Valentino asked
me to loan him twenty-five dollars, which
| did out of sympathy, and, perhaps, from
the motive of economy, since knew that
if he did not repay me he would not ask
for more.
Shortly thereafter Valentino obtained
a position and repaid me my loan from
his first weeks salary, and when some
time later he attempted to borrow from
me a much larger sum, made the loan
willingly. This was also promptly re-
turned. On a number of occasions, !
made loans to Valentino and ;lways found
him to be scrupulous about making re-
payment as soon as he obtained employ
mpnt.
Mr. Valentino always lived quietly and
economically and was most earnest about
his work. Later Mr.. Valentino and be-
came close friends and although he was
unknown, | took an interest in him and
introduced him to friends of mine. At
seven or eight big parties given by me at
the Los Angeles Athletic Club, where men
and women were present, he made dis
tnctly favorable impression by his cour-
tesy and consideration to certain of the
older ladies, mothers of young ladies pres
ent, while other young men of the party
were dancing with and paying attention
only to the younger feminine guests. This
was not from any motive whatsoever ex-
cept innate courtesy and kindliness"
Mr. Gerard then goes on to describe
his friends character. In addition to
being kind to old ladies, Mr. Valentino,
according to Mr.. Gerard, was economical
(despite the twenty-five dollar loan), mild
tempered, conscientious about his work
and not given to gossip.
He corroborates Mr.. Valentino's affi-
davit as to the dressing room incidents,
and tells how he and others put up the bail
when his friend had been jailed for
bigamy. But his most effective writing
is his description of midnight battle
with detectives in the wilds of the
Adirondacks:
"On Sunday night, August q, 1922, at
about eleven-thrty o'clock, Mr. and Mrs
Valentino and myself were playing three
handed bridge in the living room at the
Foxlair Camp. Mr.. Richard Hudnut was
in New York City and Mrs Hudnut had
retired to her bedroom just over the living
room.
"The living room at Foxlair Camp is q
very large room, completely surrounded
by windows with an entrance from the
hall at one end and an exit on to the
large veranda at the other end.
"Outside of the living room door lead
ing to the veranda is a screened space. AL
each side Of this is q screen door so that
the progress of one walking around the
porch need not he interrupted, The screen
doors fit tightly in order to keep out the
