not her sister VINO wrote the two gro
Gerry slips found later by investigators

Carmel cottage May 80. However, she
refused newspaper men a specimen of
her handwriting, explaining that she
used three distinct styles of penman-

the subsequent days in making daily
business trips to San Francisco.

ton at Carmel for Mrs. Mcpherson, the
woman said. They were met by Attor-
ney Woolley and taken before notary.

to us and not Mrs. Mcpherson"
