 Learns of Pregnancy
 What was Nancy's condition when she arrived at Palm Beach?" Halh- nan inquired.
 Before she went to the hospital, I learned that she was pregnant. l decided her condition necessitaed that the pregnancy be terminated. But I did not want to take that great responsibility so had pr. Horn, her Mexico dental surgeon, come to Palm Beach to examine her. Nancy had two operations to terminate this condition.
 T had to tell Harry how much agony Nancy had been in-how she suffered" Lady Eunice related. "He was very resentful."
 The attorney general asked how she felt about the matter.
 T felt like any mother would. I had written Alfred in Mexico and told him to take the utmost care of Nancy. There was no mistaking what I meant"
 Lady Oakes said that as the re- suit of telephone conversation in Palm Beach between her husband and DeMarigny, her son-in-law was asked to move out of the Oakes Palm Beach home.
 She said the conversation, which severed relations between De- Marigny and the Oakes family, con- cerned De Marigny's attempt to move into @ room in the hospital adjoining Nancy's.
 Harry objected very strongly" she said.
 We were trying to keep Nancy as close to us as possible. We were trying to make the best of the very bad combination of cirmustances. "Where did Nancy go when she left the hospital?"
 "She came to me"
 After Nancy's return to Nassau In March did you receive Q letter from the accused?"
 T dld."
 The attorney general then read the letter to the court. Tn 1t, De Marigny complained of a disgust ing letter" which he said had been written by his former wife. Miss Fahnestock, Boston society woman to Lady Eunice.
 De Marigny wrote his mother-in- law that he had learned his former wife had written her in care of her attorney, Walter FoSkett, of Palm Beach. He asked for a copy of the letter so he might prove T am an honrabte man." He denied the al- legations which he said were con- tained in the letter of Mrs Ruth Fahnestock, De Marigny saying theye were directed at what a man values most-'honor and integrity"
 Lady Oakes, continuing her tes- timony, said she did not see the let- ter from Ruth F'ahnestock until the latter part of June.
 Shortly before, she had received her first letter from Nancy in three months.
 From the letter from Nancy I got the impression that she did not want any further contact with her family and that she did not want our hope, financial or otherwise" she said.
 The stately mother wept softly as she told of her daughter returning the birthday gift she had sent her.
 Unfair
 "Was the accused accepted as Q member of the family early in June when you received the letter from your daughter2"
 No, because he had been so ir- responsible and SO unfair" she said.
 Lady Oakes put on her specthcles and red a letter the attorney gen- eral had handed her. She identi- fled 1t as one Dc Marlgny wrote to her l5-year-old son Sidney shortly after his arrest. She said she fSsnd Che !stter in her Bar Harbor home.
 Did you approve Of the letter the accused wrote Sidney2" Halll- nan asked.
 T think 1t was the most diabol- lcal letter anyone could write to e child, of fifteen about his parents" [" she replied, her voice rising in an. ger.
 everybody who knew Harry knows how moderate he was He drank very moderately. He was c
