love tryst.
Revealing the entire story of her
six-year friendship with Liggett,
Mrs. Cunningham under cross
examination testified that she often
tried to stop seeing Liggett, but that
he threatened her with death If she
did SO.
On occasion, she testified, Liggett
pressed a knife against her throat
so hard that it drew blood. Last
October, a short time before Cum
ningham was slain at his home,
Liggett became angry with her and
threatened her life with a revolver.
Liggett always was jealous lover,
the witness testified, and she lived
in constant fear of him."
"Until I met Liggett I was a vir-
tuous woman" Mrs. Cunningham
said.
She then repeated her testimony
in which she admitted Liggett
picked me up" on a street corner
six years ago, and confessed she
spent several week-ends with him
while her husband was out of town
on business.
