Gambler who wrote as often as three
times a day to his "Sweetums" during
the engagement period, shattered the
romance with a brief note received by
Mrs. De Bouchelle on her wedding day,
saying he had been informed while
she was the sponsor for the Confeder
ate reunion she had received male
visitors in her hotel room.
This letter, which reached the New
Orleans society leader Sept. % 1922,
vas one of seven missives introduced
by the plaintiff today to tell the story
Of the blighted betrothal.
Love Pleas Read
Nearly a score Of imprisoned love
pleas telling Of Gamblers undying love
and his rosy dreams of spending his
remaining years in love nest" were
presented at the opening session Of the
suit in Federal District Court Wednes
day.
Today after Howell read one mis-
sive after another relating to the aged
Coca Cola king was having the fight
Of his Efe," because of the objections
Of his brothers and other members
Of his family against marrying a d.

max of the engagement was reached.
Confirms High Estimation
One letter detailed how one brother
personally visited New Orleans to in
vestigate Mrs. De Bouchelle's charac-
ter and confirmed my high estimation
Of your character"
Howell indicated he expected to
finish presenting the plaintiffs case

intended to introduce a number Of
dispositions. Only one or two witnesses
win be called, he said.
