TO the two women in the front
room and vestibule of his home.
He said:
'PeOple knew / was inveSti-
eating the case. They knew I
was Jafsie and came to my
home"
At this point Attorney General
David T. Wilentz asked that the
mystery of the contents of the two
letters be cleared up. He de-
manded they be read to the
jury.
Mr.. Reilly protested he was not
yet ready to do so. Addressing
the court, he said:
"It is not the contents of
these letters, but the handwrit-
ing with which we are con-
cerned. We are not yet ready
to reveal whose handwriting
this is"
Mr.. Wilentz withdrew his OBJ

gave him resembled Johns" hat.
DR.. Condor denied he ever told
anybody John" was a Scanol'
navian.
Q.-While you were on the
bench could you see AL Reich?
A.-No, but could see the
car, ITS feet away.
DR.. Condor looked tired.
Mr.. Reilly asked what happened

the car, after talking to John"
for more than an hour.

A.-Yes. I went to church, it

First Exhibits

The two letters were admitted
as evidence for the defense-they
were the defense's first exhibits.
Q.-Who did you give these
letters to, doctor? Al don't
know.
Mr.. Reilly suddenly asked a
woman to stand up in the audi
ence. She was a woman of middle
age, dressed in green. She was
led to the front of the room.
"NOw, didn't you give the com.
paniOn Of this lady these two

ing with John" and the events
Immediately preceding it.
"Will you stick to the points
Of the compass, pleaSe?"
Thus, at one point, DR.. Condor
ordered his cross-eXaminer.
Mr.. Reilly questioned DR.. Con-
don minutely on the relative posi-
ton Of the stand to the subway
station.
DR.. Condor asked Mr.. Reilly to
face the back of the court room
and instructed the lawyer how to
point his arms, using Mr.. Reilly
to illustrate his testimony.
Jurors and spectators smiled
when DR.. Condor shouted:
"Whoa! That's it,"
He said this as he desired Mr..
Reilly to stop in certain position
in front of the jury box.
There was a question just how
far from the refreshment stand,
and in what direction from it, the
doctor and Reich paused. "Jafsie"
said:
''I know right from left"
''Well, I'll stand here and you
tell me which way to turn"

"There, WhOd!"

Mr.. Reilly turned his back on
the witness and stood with his left
arm extended. DR.. Condor COM
manded:
'There, now swing"
Mr.. Reilly pivoted slowly. The
witness exclaimed:
There, whoa!
"That's it-like that"
DR.. Condor admitted he saw
two automobiles near the stand
that night, but paid no attention
to them. He said:

BASEBALL MAD
DETROIT BACK
TO N0RMALCY

DETROIT, Oct. 8 GNS).-
Bleary-eyed but happy, World
Series.wild Detroit returned to
some state Of order today after a
demonstration which matched the
organized madness of a Legion
convention and topped the spon-
taneous JOY of Armistice Day IT
years ago.
The honor Of being worlds
champions for the first time in
modern baseball was too much
for Mr.. and Mrs. Detroit.
Citizens, a quarter of a million
strong, poured into the down
town area to give vent to their
jubilance, overwhelming police
lines, shouting, screaming and
generally turning the town upside
down.
Police Are Praised
Only one or two we're reported
hurt, but only slightly, and from
the more dignified of the resi-.
dents emanated praise for the
work of police, whose guiding
hands kept the casualty toll down.
Financially, another record was
set as hotel officials estimated
$375,000 was spent in their host
elrieS during the three games
played here. This exceeds by far
the estimated $150,000 spent last
year in hotels.
The Book Cadillac alone fig
ured its daily revenue at $25 900,
while yesterday the hotel fed TO-
900 persons and turned away
hundreds of prospective guests.
Showered With Paper
Streets were Showered with
ticker tape, telephone books and
waste paper. Apparently office
workers had been saving paper
for weeks for just such an event,
and when that supply was ex-
hausted, restaurant menus, among
other things were torn up and
thrown to the winds.
Crowds in streets below hotel
windows were showered with
paper bags full of water. Here
and there bottles crashed to the
streets, but no one was reported
hit. They simply we're intent on
making noise, as WITS the man who
emptied a revolver full of blank
cartridges.

ALEXANDRIA, Oct. 8.-Alexan-
