lander annulment trial caused two
_adiourhments and rumors that the
case 'ould be settled out of court
:3 to keep them from being made pub-
“. lie. were placed on record this mor—
l
thing. ‘
They were 'rcad before a court-
room which had been emptied of all
but: two women, the latter being
newspaper women who nere per-
mitted to‘rcmuln by the court.
Both the letters were written by
Jihinclttndcr from the Cliff Hotel in
San Francisco in 1323 .and were
concerned with the pro-nuptial rc-
lations of Alice Beatrice Jones.
daughter of a negro taxi driver and
Leonard lv’ip lthinel’ander, wealthy
young soeiety man. who is seeking
the annulment of his marriage to
Alice l3 ones.
The letters which have been the
centen of great mystery beginning
last week when Isaac N. Mills. coun-
sel for Rhinelander asked for a. re-
cess of several days to give him an
opportunity to investigate them.
were regarded as trump cards by
Lee Rarsons Davis. counsel for the
defendcnt. ‘
Th y were written by llhlneland-
or an held by the defcndent to off-
set the effect of Alice's letters read
at the beginning of the trial.
The contents were admittedly
more‘ erratic than the love letters
written by Mrs. lililnclandcr. When
. the rbndlng of the letters began,
Mrs. Rhinelsnder and her mother
'left the courtroom and remained
ioniside during the reading and the
isnbsehuont cross examination of the
icontents.
