Mehr then rend a nutnler of busi
ness telegrams from Hrunen. showing
their telatiens were amicable and that
Hrunen trusted him with the business
arrangements of the show. The only
telegrams which Indicated that icln icln
tiens between the two were net friends
were the following :
"Don't sign Yerk and Wilmington.

When Mehr had read this telegram,

".Ne, I Ignored it, bi.t our business ic ic

Mehr was then hewn a number of
telegrams which lie had exchanged with
Powell and which Powell had -.lid le
ferred te the contemplated slaying of
Hrunen. Mehr characterized these as
"nothing but l.iii-iness." Mehr then
, was shown a mene nnler for Seil sent,
te Powell and asked why he had sent

lie snid: "That money order was sen:

the question. It was because I was
interested in ti.e mutest."
Justice Kalisch suggested that much
tim uhl be saved if the Stnle would
agree that tii"y weie sent for purely
business reasons. Assistant Prosecutor
Peacock snid: "We icrtainly will net

Mehr then wis told te relate what

PROMPTNESS, next te depend
ability, is the greatest virtue in
any commercial service. It is one of
the lirst rules in the service cede of
the organizations upon which a large
community depends for streetcar

phone and telegraph service, express
service, news service, feed and fuel
distribution, merchandise deliveries,
or for any ether of the vital require
