Yesterday the girl occupied the wit ness chair at the inquest for a short time, weeping continuously as she told | {f her last meeting Saturday with | | Elrod. At that time, she testified asked her if she cared for leith Claytox,” a fictitious lover she | had told him of in order to *‘test his affections for her. If she did, rod told her, he would “get out of the wy.” She said she reassured him | that she was infatuated with no other man_and that he left her to awalt the decision of her parents upon his | desivability as a son-in-law. Found Dead in Hotel. His body was found lying on a bed | at his hotel room and on a table was the unfinished letter, in which terms )f endearment were interspersed with illegible phrases and references to his illness, which he believed was due to poison and would prove fatal. Veda sald a reference in the letter to trouble probably concerned Elrod's financial difficulties. She denied there had been a quarrel. Asked if she accepted the Elrod letter as genuine the girl replied that it “does not sound like Charles.” It was placed in evidence as his through identifica- tion of the handwriting. Elrod was a widower, 28 years of age, with a daughter. He had been in Marshalltown for some time, hav- in® come primarily becauke of alarm over the fictitious rivals the girl pic tured to him. She related she had followed the plot of a magazine story in the plan to test Elrod’s affections. | THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Rain and cold- er tonight and tomorrow; lowest tem- | perature tonight about 40 degrees.
