MRS. HVMAN ON
STAND IN
DMN
hHH

RENO, New, March % U.N.S).-
Behind closed doors the Inman d.
vorce battle was to be resumed today
in Judge George A. Bartlett's court.
Walker p. Inman, multimillionaire
heir to the Duke tobacco fortune, Is
seeking a divorce from Mrs. Helene
Garnet Patton Inman. daughter Of a
KokomO, Ind, minister, who in turn
is seeking the decree on cross COM
plaint and a quarter of million dol
lars as a property settlement.
Further legal pyrotechnics were
expected today over the manner Of
Identification of poetic love letters
alleged to have been written to Mrs.
Inman by John Steele, the actor.
Late yesterday Mrs. Sarah Nc.
Kenna, of Brooklyn. identified the
letters as having been read to her
by Mrs. Inman, who told her they
were from Steele.
The defense objected to direct
identification OF the letters, claiming
that the witness should be required
to recall their contents.
Mrs. Inman probably will occupy
the unique position of being a wit
ness for both her husband and her
self before the case IL finished.
Counsel for Inman called her late
yesterday to identify a letter care
fully pieced together from fragments
thrown in a waste basket.
Mrs. Inman admitted writing the
letter to "BilP' Hardy, but said
that it had not been completed and
that she had no intention Of mail
ing it.
Recall Her Later
Inman sought her testimony only
to identify the letter and it was
regarded as probable that her coun-
sci would call her later as witness
in her own behalf.
Most of yesterdays session was
given over to cross-examination Of
Charles Miller, chauffeur.
He remained unshaken in his
charge that Mrs. Inman drank to
excess, denied ever having seen In
man strike his wife but admitted
Mrs. 1nman had told him her hus-
band abused her.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
 QUESTION TO FORE Pro lpd Con of Purchasing Ap
 pratus HeatMly Discussed TOWN MEETING TUESDAY
Dudiak Has Fl Witnesses Who Tes- Stify He was in Church When Lunch Cart was Held Cp-LAr4c Thrng at D. \. R. Pageant.

1hr0ng At D. \. H. Pa6ceAt.
 Lively discussion is anticipated at the town meeting Tuesday night when the question of establishing . fire department here or renewing . contract with New Britain for the use of apparatus in an emergency comes up.
 There will be considerable discus- sion of the fire question at the meet ing to be held TueSday night at tho Berlin town hall. Many favor signing the contract with New Britain, but thcre ia a large percentage of voters who feel that . local department would be of much better use and would have many advantages. It ls understood that the American Le- zion is working for separate de- partment and that members are pre-. pared to present figures at the meet jnc to show the saving that will be effected in insurance rates.
 Many citizens claim that the nre last night was good example of the work done by New Britain and that if there was a department in Der lin. there would be no such cooper alton. The city firemen were handl- carped by the lack of water and II was only by the experience Tn fght- ing Ares that the house was saved. There is no water within about s5Oo feet of the Carter property. This ts also \ question that was debated n town today.
 oficials of the New Britain ire Aenartment stated today that auto mobile> drivers came close to dis aster when they failed to observe the law riving the chiefs car the right of way. The department was forced to TO much slower than usual on &C., count of this and. as the chief. two fire commissioners and the chairman of the fire board were in the chiefs ear the danger was brought clearly to their minds.
 George Carter stated today thai he wa. very thankful for the help peo- ple at the fire gave in saving all that was possible. It was through their efforts that the few sheds that were sayed did not burn and thus 1m- peril the house. before the arrival or the New Britain ire truck
