Mrs. Massie's departure was gen.

her story twice in court, once In the

disagreed, and again as defense wit

urged her not to go on with it.
Public Prosecutor John c. Kelley. at

were made to serve the subpoena,
seemed bitter at her departure.
After the ship sailed it became known
that Darrow was considering a series
