Prosecutors reveal telegrams and love letters as potential evidence while Mackaye, to testify, is expected to identify them. Witness Charlotte Emma Lee described repeated late returns from Mackaye and phone calls from Kelly at his apartment during Mackaye's stage run. Mackaye testified that her friendship with Kelly was noble despite Kelly’s claim of love.
