WIDOW CLASSY DEGENERATE, BREWER WROTE FROM RENO Racy Letters in Naylor Will Case Hearing Read Wednesday—Second Day of Sensational Case. There was more reading of racy letters at the Naylor will case hearing before Judges Trompson and Russell m the superior court wednesday. These letters were more of the Sea- bury Doane Brewer series to Mrs. Sarah Duncan Naylor, who died last Felruary, leaving Brewer the use four-fifiks of her $101.000 estate. In scme of the letters read Wednes- day Brewer addressed Mrs. Naylor as though she were a_ dual personality, sore tmes loving her by mail 'as Dearest Gillife and again, on the same day, as Eadie Naylor. Brewer's let- ters indicnted that he was much en- amored Dearest Gillie but not at ail pleesed witih Sadie Naylor. In some of his ietters he x) oke of Mrs. Naylor as My Tiveld Girl As in the caz> of the letters read ‘Tuescoy, the date lires were at Reno, Nevada. Wouldn’¢ Pay Inn Bill. » you Mk se missive?” Brew- ired in one of the many that Le kept traviaig east to Mrs. Nay lor. o bad Sadie and I couldn't get along. But Sadie wouldn't back me—she wouldn’t pay the bill at the Ben Grosvenor (in Pomfret). Sadie Naylor runs things down, but sho thinks she’s just it. A Classy Degenerat And again: “The Naylor girl is a smoker, a drinker, a swearer and, for all 1 know tells smutty stories. This is not my Tivoli girl. You are the classisest of classy degenerates. You have become a ranting woman, clevor to the extreme. New acquantinces like it, but your old friends dg not.” Sent Night Letter—Collect And on the same day in another let- ter he wrote: “Dearest Gillie: The Naylor girl wants an explanation, so I can’'t write you. Sweetheart, I am sending this evening a night letter— collect.” On another day: “I hope you will make Sadie Naylor ovg;, but wish that she will loan me that money. This will help me and so she can get letters. Then I will also have enougn to_send you some gifts.” In a letter of January 10, 1916 “To My Own Dear Genevieve” Brewer complains because he has to write to that Naylor girl. The only way the Naylor girl can ever be happy with me is to do just what I say. Tell her that I am it. She must tell everyone I am it. She must learn to have absolute, blind confidence in me. Nearly 100 Letters From Widow. A bulky pacakage of letters that Mrs. Naylor wrote to Brewer while he was at Reno were laid in without be- ing read. It was said that there jis nearly 100 of them and that they dove- tail in with Brewer’s letters and much that Mrs. Brewer wrote in them takes the sting from letters he wrote. Bank Man a ness. G. Harold Gilpatric, cashier of the First National bank of this city, was one of the witnesses called Wednes- day. His tesimony had to do with bank transactions in which Mrs. Nay- lor and Brewer figured. Mr. Gilpatric identified several letters as Brewer's that been received -at the bank. New York Lawyer’s Testimony. Attorney George C. Austin of a-firm of New York lawyers was another witness Wednesday. He was asked about the matters pertaining espec- ially to Brewer’s visits to his office in New York and relative to conferences he had with Mrs. Naylor over her business affairs. Attorney Austin said in omne of. their interviews . Mrs. Naylor had declared that she detested the need of attending to business de- tails. She had told him of her plan to Brewer. Brewer was then staying. nothing to indicate that he was not of sound mind., Attorney Austin de. Dr. Givens’ Deposition.
