declared that Reeves, the father of
two children, assaulted her first In

married and a father.
A month later, she testified she
agreed to meet Reeves at his Iselin
bungalow when his wife was away to
tell him she believed she was preg
nant. Took Father's Gun
"Why did you want to see Paul
Reeves?" defense Attorney George

"He was married. He was older than

the way l was."
"Did you take anything with you?"
"I took my father's revolver "
"Why did you take It?"
"I took It to protect me. 1 remem

struggle and tried to get out the
back door, she testified.
Q. Were you able to get out?

ness had told of ft.
She was In the bath room, she said,
when her lather came In.
"He asked me what happened. I
said 'daddy I did if."
Her voice became so shaken with
sobs It was scarcely audible. Her face
became flushed, but she held her
head up and continued to answer
questions without Interruption.
Never Saw Wife
During the lengthy cross-examination,
the defendant repeated several
times she did not know who "Jack
Lyons" really was and had never seen
Mr. and Mrs. Reeves together
Never before the night of August
7, she said, had Reeves kissed her.

Asked why she had not "screamed"
when Reeves "attempted to attack
