me. But I love, Leonard, to be with
you day and night. but I feel ter
rible lonesome for you, when I do

several drinks and began feeling
rather frisky and Carl told us We
would have to take Alice's friend

Later he gave her his picture, as
she asked him In one of the letters.
He was frequently alone with her,
he said, but was never intimate with
her until Nov. %, when they went
TO New York to go to the theater.
How did you happen. to go to the
Marie Antonette hotel?" asked
Judge Mills.
I'VE were on our way to the
theater motoring in, and Alice told
me she anticipated staying at the
Marie Antoinette that night"
Nothing had ben said up to that
