Mills, I counsel for young Rhinelnnder, asked ; for a recess of several days to give him an opportunity to investigate ( them. Thoy have been regarded as i trump cards by Lee Parsons Davis, counsel for the defendant. Written by Leonard, they were held by the defense to offset tho effect of Alice's letters read at the beginning of the trial. Their contents admitted ly ..were more erotic than the love letters viitlen by Mrs. Khlnelaudcr. When reading of the letters begun Alice and her mother left the court room and remained outside during the subsequent cross-examination on their contents. y , The letters were en oh -'-about A DO..; Words long and were concerned with events that occurred when Alice ami Leonard spent a week at the Hotel Marie Antoinette in New York in 1 'J2l. picking Up the. second letter, Which was by far more erotic than the first, Mr. Davis asked: . ., "Did you love this girl when you wrote tbrtt?" - "Yes," answered Rhinelnnder. Although ut first he denied these letters wwe written to lead Alice on, he admitted that in one of the letters, written June H, he was trying to tempt her. "I had no other outlet to express my emotions except in my letter," he said. "In them 1 put my heart nnd soul." "Did you have any letter using thlH kind of Bluff from Alice?." asked Mr. Davis. "No," admitted the witness. I "Did you intend to make this girl your wife when you wrote tlst'se let ters to her?" --' "I had visions of It." 1 In the midst of his cross exami.nn-. tion on the mystery letters Mr. Davis asked tluit the court be cleared In , order that he might show Alice's skin , to the jury. Justice Morshauser Inter posed an objection and it was agreed . to retire to the Jury room. Alice returned , to the rourt room, and brok into copious tears as she walked into the jury room. The party returned from the Jury room about ten minutes Inter, Alice if mainlng Inside. Rhinelnnder re sumed the stand and In response to tiucMttons. said that her skin appeared the R.imo color as when he had first seen it. "That's all," said Mr. Davis sudden- ' ly. and Hhinelander's ordeal of the past week was finished. He left the stand nnd adjournment was taken until this afternoon when other wit nesses for the plaintiff will testify. Just before going into the Jury room Mr. Davis asked Leonard if Alice bad ever admitted to htm that she had been Intimate with another man before she met her husband. Kltlnelander said that she had given this information to him voluntarily, '"Did this glrlu who Is pictured as chasing you, confess this?" jinked Davis. . ; "Yes." - ' $ ' .
