twitching, eyes shifting, and in the
weak voice of child Who fears she
is going to be whipped, Mrs. jamie
Reyher, wife of Charles Reyher,

But when the state sought to bring
out details OF the actual bargaining
the mother of two boys whose twen-
ty-two year marriage to Reyher was
blighted by the soul charming OF
Gen" Stults, said: Il just don't
remember"
Ordered Shadowing
She testified that she met Smith
in his detective agency Office in the
Gladstone building in South Bend.
Asked what conversation she had
with Smith regarding trailing OF her
husband she said: Il told him to
shadow Mr.. Reyher."
Questioned by states attorneys
as to details of her conversation with
Smith aborc trailing her husband
she reiterated, Il don't just re-
member"
Disguised, the prosecution sought
to tear from the wife who lost out
10 another woman the conversations

Mrs. Reyher said Smith made ver-
bal reports to her of the clandestins
meetings between Reyher and Mrs.

legged slaying-the state contends
the car was the death car-and
that 1t was left fog him in front OF
the Y. M. c. A. in South Bend.
MY son Keith drove it there.
Then my husband and 1 went to a
show" she ayerred.
after the show we went to
friends house, then home. I re-
ceived a telephone call from Smith
and later he came to the house"
ForgetS Conversation
What did Smith say to you over
the telephone?" she was asked by
states attorneys.
"I Just don't remember-you see
T haven't charged my mind with
those things" she retorted as she
smoothed her brown goulard print
dress neryously.
Testifying that Smith came to the
house later-about the time the de-
fense says when Mrs. Smith dis
appeared of was slain-she said she
could not remember the conversa-
ton she had with him. She Saic
her husband talked to Smith.
Mrs. Reyher said payment fol
Smiths services as a detective was
made in three installments. A SIC
bill in his office, few dollars OF
one occasion in her home and the
$50 which she turned over to heI
brother, Jack Kimball, to be given
to Smith for soaring Mrs. StultS
