Mrs. Kate G1orius wants people
to know that she does write to her
soldier husband in Italy.
Ordinarily this would be definitely
none OF the public's business. Mrs
Glorious probably would agree
ardently with that point of view
But the public, without consulting
Mrs. Glorius, just took the matter
in hand.
For several days, Mrs. Glorius said
yesterday, the telephone in her

Jury DeIiberation
Scheduled tuesday
In Chaplin Case
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April /. The
Charlie Chaplin trial jurors are at
home today, attending to private
affairs and, if following the judges
instructions, refusing to discuss the
case or read or listen to newspaper
or radio accounts of it.
The comedian presumably is play
ing tennis, his usual weekend di-
version, at his hilltop mansion that
figured so prominently in the testi-
mony.
And opposing counsel are polish
ing the final arguments which they
will present Monday in the case of
the veteran film actor-producer,
charged with violating the Mann
Act.
Testimony Completed.
The testimony for and against the
allegations that he transported Joan
Berry to New York and back in 1912
| with immoral intent was completed.
After about an hour of final in
structions in the law by Judge j. F.
T. O'Connor Tuesday, the jury will
retire to begin deliberations
The seven women and five men
jurors had heard Miss Berry testify
that Chaplin was intimate with her
in a New York hotel one night in
October, 1912, and they heard the
actor deny it.
Chaplin Denies Charges.
They heard Joan assert that she
and the comedian were intimate
again on a following December
night after she broke into his
Beverly Hills home carrying a gun,
but again Chaplin made emphatic
denial
Miss Berry testified that she told
Chaplin she was expecting baby,
asked him what they should do
about it and inquired if they
couldn't be married. She said he
responded, I'm not marrying any,
body" suggested that she go TO New
York to have the child, and told her
he would spend fortune If need
be to blacken her character.
To all of this the defendant like
wise made vigorous denial.

that he hadn't heard from his wife
in some time and that the reason
was that he had changed his ad-
dress suddenly, as soldiers often do.
But the people who have been

overlooked the explanation.
There must be a tie-up in the
mail somewhere" she said in a wor-
ried voice, because I write him
Regularly.
II simply don't understand how
so many people found me because I
don't have telephone. Some
people called the resident manager

live and even other people who live
