ing, .the alleged sweetheart of Dr.
Wtlliam FT. Craig, and the woman
fiver whom the State charges the al
leged murder of Dr. Helen Knabe oc

the hundreds of curious and wide-
open ears in the crowded courtroom
that Dr. 'raig has been keepitlg reg
ular company with her for nearly
three years, and that he has been a
regular caller at her home hear Avon
during that' time.
She also said Dr. Craig called on
her last Sunday afternoon. Teat
Craig had discussed marriage with
her was admitted by Miss Fleming,
but she scoffed at the idea of an en
gagement She said she had known
Craig for seventeen years.
“You’ll pardon me, hut what is your
age?” tactfully asked' the examining
attorney.
I'm in my forty-second year.”
shyly replied Miss Fleming.
Miss Fleming reluctantly admitted
she has had several conversations
with Dr. Craig since the trial began.
She said she had been to Fort Wayne,
recently, but denied she, asked iter
cousin. Stephen B. Fleming, to write
a letter to Attorney Inman.
Miss Fleming breathed a deep sigh
of relief as she was excused from the
witness stand.

Evidence to combat the testimony
of David N. Carvalho, of New York,
a handwriting expert, that the sig
nature on a will purporting to be that
of Mrs. Emma G. Lee was not writ
ten by Mrs. Lee. w’as Introduced *n
the Lee will case Thursday morning,
by counsel for the propounders of the
will, Mrs. Maude Thompson and Mrs
Claude Stamps-
Mrs. LaKue Mizeil, another sister,
is fighting to prevent the recording
of the will, which divides the $50,000
estate.equally between the three sis
ters. claiming that it was the inten
tion of her mother to bequeath her
the entire estate, and that the con
tested will is a forgery.
,\V. F. Crusselle, an employee of the
circulation department of a morning
newapaFper. testified that Mir. Carval
ho’s opinion was an' error. He said
he had become familiar with all sorts
of handwriting while soliciting sub- i ^
scriptions for his paper, and declared I
that the signature purporting to be |
Mrs. Lee’s is genuine. On cross-ex- 1
aminatlon he admitted that there
were certain peculiarities in the sig
nature that did not appear in other
specimens of Mrs. bee’s handwriting.
He also testified that in his opinion
the check for $500, payable to Dr
N. Z. Anderson, of Covington. Ga.,
which has been entered as a specimen
of Mrs. Lee’s handwriting, was writ
ten by two persons.
Other vvitnesses'introduced by the
attorneys for Mrs. Thompson and
Mrs. Stamps Thursday were Farns
worth Rogers, cashier of the First
National Bank of Covington, and
Mote Thompson, of the Bank of Cov
ington. Both testified that they had
seen much of Mrs. Lee’s handwriting,,
and that in their ouinton the signa
ture on the will Is genuine.
