Wife’s alleged ties kept from murder trial
Philadelphia, Jan 2 A Detro i detch on trial for shooting Harry Ferree at his wife’s door won a key ruling. The judge refused to admit letters and compromising photos meant to show the wife’s intimacy with the slain man. Detach testified he did not doubt his wife’s faithfulness and claimed he mistook Ferree for a burglar. The prosecution’s case weakened as crucial letters were excluded, and acquittal seemed likely.
