OREGON CITY. Feb. 20. A com
plete denial of all charges by Mrs.
iMarjorie Hawley was made by Willarfll
P. Hawley Jr., resident manager of
j the Hawley Pulp & Paper company,
i in the divorce bu it brought by Mrs.
i Hawley and on trial here.
Hawley asserted that if he had
struck Mrs. Hawley, as she testified,
I he had considered the matter trivial
jand that the blows were not inten
tional. He said he had always been
loving and endearing in his manner
toward his wife and had always tried
to patch up their quarrels.
A letter written by Hawley while
he was in Oakland, Cal., in 1017, waa
introduced, in which he began, "Dear
est Baby, Lover. Doll," and signed
"Love Man." The letter was filled
with endearing terms and he referred
to a letter received from Mrs. Hawley
as an "angel letter." He wrote that
t was the second sent her that day.
Mrs. Hawley's case was rested Wed
nesday aftei-n-mnd Judge Bagley
denied motions by the defense that
the case be dismissed and that por
tions of the testimony be stricken out.
