Y., Nov. 23. (A. P.) The two "mystery lot tore, whose .introduction in the Rtiinclander annulment trial caused two 'adjournments and rumors that the .case would be set tled out of court to keep them Irom being made public, were placed on the record this morning. They were beforo a court room that had been emptied of all but two women, the latter being news paper women. Both the letters were written from the Clift hotel in Ban Francisco in 1922 and were concerned with tho pre-marital re lations of Alice Beatrice Jones, daughter of a negro hack driver, anil Leonard Kip Khlnelander, wealthy young society man, who is seeking annulment ot tneir mui riage.

The letters had so shocked him. he admitted,, that he had lost all idea ot tho proper method of nroccdurn last week. While Mr. Mills was making his remarks, Mr. Davis arose and said: "This is a deliberate attempt to brlnir about a mistrial. After a lively argument, finally settled by Justice Morecbauser, Mr. Mills said: "We proceed with the trial." "Wait a minute. I don't know whether we procesd or not, inter rupted Mr. Davie. He then asked for a 15-nnnute recess for a con ference with his associates. Sub sequently he asked for a mistrial on the baslG of prejudicial comment having been made in court by op posing counsel. . The motion was ' denied and cross examination 01 young Rhinelander began.

Furthermare, from a social standpoint, I venture to say. that If it were not for tho chamberof commerce many of you men here would not know one an other.
