Wild Love Revealed in
Lancaster Case.
By United Press

By Chtted Press
MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 6.-Letters
that told of Captain w. N. Lam
casters love for Mrs. Jessie M
Keith Miller and his trust in Haden
Clarke were read by States Attor-
ney N. Vernon Hawthorne Friday
as the state sought to establish a
motive for the death Of Clarke,
with whose murder Lancaster is
charged.
The letters to Mrs. KeithMiller
proclaimed a wild love, tinged by
seriousness OF finding himself in
circumstances bordering on abso-
Lutte poverty. Portions of diary,
telling of mis- love for the woman,
we're heard.
Most of the letters were written
after Lancaster found himself al
most stranded in the west, where
he had gone to investigate a pro
posed airline.
Il have eaten only one 30-cent
meal in four days-thank Haden for
his kindness to me Oh, to
give you great big hug and feel

said.
Tells of Quarrel
These letters we're written before
Lancaster found Clarke was to
marry Mrs. Keith-Miller, his flying
partner and sweetheart for five
years. Clarke was found fatally
shot in the room he occupied with
Lancaster the day after the latter
had made a hurried fight from st
Louis to Miami
The men quarreled before going
to bed that night, said Mrs. Keith
Miller.
Lancaster had gone away and left
Clarke living in the same house
with Mrs. Keith-Miller. He was tc

He replied the men he had gon

Then Hawthorne, just before cour
adjourned, read a letter from
Clarke to Lancaster, revealing tn

By United Press
LONDON, Aug, 6.-Pity the poor,
perspiring postman! Here, right
in the middle of one of the warm
est summers in a generation the
postmaster-general fatty has re-
jected a proposal to let the mail
carriers discard their ties and wear
open-neck shirts.
In a letter printed in The Post
the departments magazine, the chief
says that his conscience will not al
low him to endanger that smart
ness of appearance which is always
associated in the public mind with
efficiency"
Even a clean shirt, he says, would
look incongruous without cravat;
what a somewhat-less-fresh shirt
would look like he leaves to British
moral judgment.

today, when they lacked sufficient
strength to gain their goal.
Senator's who were defeated for
denomination In the Mayr primary,
and who, during the 1881 session,
fought the Hartzell yoke placed
upon their shoulders by Lieutenant
Governor Edgar D. Bush, planned
the revolt, it was said.
Their vain attempt called for the
election of the veteran Senator
James J. Nejdl of Whiting, who was
q candidate against the incumbent
when the senate was organized in
1881.
Original plans provided for the
shift at the wednesday night caucus
in Republican state headquarters,
but count of noses revealed that
there we're not sufficient members

Hartzell was named president pro

Bush, who because of the patronage
he commanded was able to exert
sufficient pressure to obtain the
election of the Ft. Wayne man as
floor leader.

'UNKISSED' DAVY.
TRIAL ORDERED.
TO END QUICKLY
Judge, liked by Length Of
Case, Says Attorneys
Must Close.

~ United Press
LOS ANGELES, July david L.
Hutton, the great unkissed," and
Myrtle H. st. Pierre, his pretty
brunei accuser in a s200,000 breach
OF promise suit, must conclude
testimony in their sensational
superior court trial today.
Irritated by the length of the
Trial. Judge Lester w. Roth issued a
nat ultimatum to the contestants
and their attorneys.
This case will be concluded
Thursday" he said as court adj
journed. 1.-THE jurors will come
here prepared to remain until mid
night, if necessary"
Judge Roth's statement concluded
q day of sensations.
Mrs. st. Pierre collapsed during
the testimony of DR.. Louis Levin.
and created such a scene that Judge
Roth dismissed the jury, then pro-
ceeded with the trial after removing
Mrs. st. Pierre from the courtroom.
Gun Found on Hutton
Hutton was discovered carrying
tear-gas pistol.
Mrs. st. Pierre was searched for
deadly weapons.
Hutton disclosed a letter threat
ening his life.
Qualified medically as a man who
"had delivered $4,000 babies" Dr.
Levin went on the stand as a wit
ness for the plaintiff.
THE young woman is perfect
"" he started to add to an earlier
description that left little to the
1magination-and at that moment
the woman, who asserts that the
Angelus temple singer loved her
and left her to elope with Sister"
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, slipped
out of her chair at the counsel
table-and hit the floor with a
moan.
Brought to noisy consciousness by
a drenching of ice water, Mrs. st.
Pierre sobbed, walled and muttered.
Reprimanded by Judge
Then Judge Roth ordered the
Jurors from the courtroom, and a
recess was taken, while Mrs. st.
Pierre was carried out.
Trial was resumed with the
plaintiff absent until her presence
is needed"
Testimony had hardly begun
when Fred Hudson, clerk OF the
court, discovered that pen" in
the possession of Hutton was not
q pen at all, but an efficient tear
gas protector.
Hudson confiscated the pen.
Judge Roth reprimanded Hutton.
Hutton produced deputy sher-
iff's badge as his authority for
carrying the weapon, and threat
ening letter as his reason.
He was ordered not to bring the
gun into court.
Huttons attorneys then de-
handed that a policewoman search
Mrs. st. Pierre for deadly weapons.
This was done. Nothing was found.
