Now. Tork or to harass them unnec

will be any more mad befor then."
Regarding th. attempt, of the attor
neys for th Smiths to obtain posses
lon of certain letter which Detective

really shadowing herself and husband,

law la th land permitting It, and w
believe there Is." -

:. Aiken turned tha letter over to Chief
of Detective Crawford, who will duly
aeiiver them to Jerome or hi repre
