 This evidence against Mrs. Stokes" he said. lis nothing more than myth concocted by a human fiend."
 Plain intimations that the district attorney would be asked to investigate the methods that Stokes used in ob- tainng evidence were voiced by Un- termyer.
 Would we not be open to criti- cism," he said, If after this trial is over, with verdict in our favor, we did not bring to justice the man who has piled up this mass of false testi- mony to destroy the Hame of this little wOman-to drag the name of this lady through the land?
 We would be wanting in our duty if we did not bring these facts to the knowledge of the district attorney"
 MT. Untermyer read from the testi- mony Of each witness for Stokes, pointing to what he said were dis erepancies in their stories and to the denials of the witnesses he had put on the stand.
 Not an embrace, no correspond ence, not token of affection has been shown between these two people," he said, referring to Mrs. Stokes and the correspondent, Edgar Wallace. We admit they knew each other. The diseased mind of this man tStokes) puts , foul construction on every thing"
