By Prlrste Las sod Wire.
New York, June 22.—Death threats
against one of the many witnesses
opposed to Mrs. Graco E. Lovett were
revealed today when the trial of the
action for divorce, brought by the
wealthy real estate man of Brook
lyn, was resumed before Justice Mad
ddx In the Kings county supreme court.
A sensation was produced by the ex*
hlbltton of two anonymous letters re
celved by Mrs. Inex Courtney, the ob
ject of which palpa\>y was to Intlml
date h**r ho that she would not testify
for Lovett.
Both letters produced In court today
were printed. This explained why
Lovett’s lawyer had Mrs. LoVett print
the address, “Mrs. Inez Courtney, No.
1136 Bergen street, Brooklyn,” yester
day. The first letter read:
"Take advice nnd leave Brookl
Then* is nothing in It for you.
will regret It If you do not*
The second letter, which was post
marked Juno It. read;
If you take the stand vour life Is fn
dahgtr."
Neither was signed.
Lawyer Ketchum, Mrs. Lovott 1
lawyer, showed both letters to her and
asked her If she had written them. Mrs.
Lovett said:
"I did not.”
William H. Kinsley, a handwriting
expert, said that he had compared the
letters with tho address which Mrs.
Lovett printod yesterday and that all
three were from the pen of the same
person.
Mrs. Courtney was recalled today
and flatly contradicted Mrs. Webb, the
mother of Mrs. Lovett, who testified
that she was present when Mrs. Lovett
wrote the letter to Grant and that It
was Indited and forwarded by Mrs.
Coutmey In a spirit of fun.
