Mills, counsel for Leonard Kip Rhinelander in his annulment suit against his wife, Alice, part neg ress, issued a statement today charg ing that the so-called “mystery let ters" introduced last week, were a “deliberate attempt to trap the wit ness and force him to withdraw his suit.” ' Lee Parsons Davis, counsel for Mrs. Rhinelander, and who introduced the “mystery letter” last week, made a motion for declaration of mistrial when court reopened. The motion was de nied by Justice Morsehauser. Mr. Mills in his statement had in dicated that the letters, the contents of which had boon guarded carefully, dealt with Rhinelander's personal character. He charged that their in troduction was an attempt to “be smirch Rhinelander’s character.” Mr. Mills first read the transcript | of the cross examination last week! immediately preceding the presenta tion of the two “mystery” letters. He J said that the method of questioning was deliberate, nud its intent to force j his client-to withdraw. The letters i had so shocked him. he admitted, that 1 he had lost all idea of the proper 1 method of proceedure last week. While Mr. Mills was making his] remarks Mr. Davis arose and said j “This is a deliberate attempt to j bring about a mistrial.” After a lively argument, finally set-; tied by Justice Morsehauser Mr. Mills j said “We proceed with the trial." Present “Mystery” Letters. White Plains. X. Y., Nov. 23.—C4>) —The two “mystery” letters whose introduction in the Rhinelander v an nulment trial caused two adjourn ments and rumors that the case would be settled out of court to keep them from being made public, were on record this morning. They were read before a court room that had been emptied of all but two women, the latter being newspaper women. Both the letters were writ ten from the Cliff Hotel in San Fran-; cisco in 1922. and weqs concerned i with pre-marital relation* of Alice j Beatrice Jones, daughter of a negro hack driver, and Leonard Kip Rhine- i lander, wealthy young society man. j seeking annulment of their marriage. | The letters have been the center of i a great mystery in the case beginning last week when Isaac N. Mills, coun sel for young Rhinelander, asked for a recess of several days to give him j opportunity to investigate them. They j had been regarded as trump cards by Lee P. Davis, counsel for the defend ant. Written by Leonard, they were held j by the defence to offset the effect of Alice’s letters read at the beginning of the trial. Their contents admit tedly were more erotic than the love letters written by Mrs. Rhinelander. When reading of the letters began Alice and her mother left the fcourt room and remained outside during subsequent cross examination on their ! contents. The letters were each about 500 words long, and were concerned with events that occurred when Alice and ; Leonard spent a week at the hotel I Marie Antoinette in New' York in 1921.

Although he had kept his eyes fix ed on the floor during tlie reading of the more lurid passages, lie turned squarely on Mr. Davis and answered in a firm voice. His characteristic stutter, however, recurred at intervals [ when the questions were more than ] usually intimate.

"In them j 1 put ray heart and soul.” «*T)id you have any letters using this kind of stuff-from Alice?” asked Mr. Davis. “No,” admitted the witness. “Did, you intend to make this girl your wife when you wrote these let ters to her?” he asked. “I htfd visions of it.” In the midst of. his cross examina tion on the mystery letters Mr. I>av, : s asked that the court be cleared iu or der that he might show Alice’s skin to the jury.
