money given him by his wife.
The cross examination finally
was completed and Peacox' own
attorneys started a redirect exarni-
nation.
The redirect examination was
brief. The young defendant was
asked concerning a telegram he had
sent regarding annullment of his
marriage. He said the telegram
merely was asking for an appoint

aunt and one of her conf1dantes,

She told of receiving several let
