Mrs. Stokes was attired in a blu ue
suit-the same one she has worn all
during the trial--e blue turban, gray
silk stockings and low shoes.
Mrs. Stokes appeared very nervous.
Her voice trembled and she bit her lip
as she faced the crowded courtroom.
Her testimony consisted of a sweep
ing denial of charges she was unfalth-
full to Stokes and that she visited .ne
apartment of Edgar T. Wallace, CO.
respondent.
Guided by the questions OF her law
yer, Samuel Untermeyer, she denied
ever having any Illegal relations with
Wallace.

& $1,000 diamond ring, Mrs. Stokes said
Wallace exhibited the ring when he
stopped at her home in Denver, in

it that he consented to let her wear
1t for a while.
The ring was given back to him
at the Waldorf Hotel, in New York, in
1909 she testified.
Furthermore, she said, she did not
see Wallace from 1909 until 1921 when
she met him in the courtroom here

sentation, ours being q representative
