that time.
TIE BoAr TRIP.
The next thing that I san was Bray
and Dillon get into a beat. They rovsd
out TO whore the girls were. and rowsd
back again. I don't know whether they
said anything to the girls or not. When
I vent back to the pier. they were row.
ing back. I saw Bray and the other
man get into the boat and 20 away in
the direction where the girls were
vsdinR. am sure OF that. I also saw
them come back. Icannot tell just how
long they were gone. We were having
q good time. and Of course ! didn't take
the trouble TO count the minutes. I
may have sat on the pier ave minutes
before I got up and vent back TO the
house. Il may have BEEN q shorter
time. The girls were In the water when
I went on the pier. I don't know when
they vent In. nor how long they had
been In.
Mr.. Rray-Aftsr you left the pier. did
you not sauntsr along the shore and chat
with the girlsi
witnsss-I may have done so.
Mr.. Bray-Did you not stoop down
and make . motion n though you
picked up and threw something at thems
witness-I can't say. II Is quite pos
Ebls that I did. bsing so we'll acquainted
with them.
NO I~NPRoPRIrTr.
Mr.. Bray-You would see nothing
improper in such action. would your
witnsss-Oh. no. W. were at the
lake to have a good time. The girls
we're doing nothing wrong. and there
would certainly be nothing wrong In my
chatting with them. II I wanted TO

A diagram was here shown the Wit
ness, giving the location Of the pier. the
point around which the girls rstreatsd,
the island and the Gold Hill camp, and
Mr.. Buckingham pointed out the various
locations. He was asked II the boat.
after crossing Parsons Point. did not
turn and run over to the Gold Hill
camp. and he thought there was hardly
time for IL 70 do that. When he saw II
return II came from the direction In
which he saw 1t depart.
Captain Taylor Did yon consider
that there was any improperly In the
girls wading where they did.
witnsss-Csrtainly not. They were
enjoying themselves u girls generally
do at the lake.
Captain Taylor-Thers was no I'M.
modest exposure On their partI
witness-Not the least.
Captain Tsylor-And they were In
full view Of u pier on which gentlemen
we're accustomed to gor
witnsss-At that time they were. l
saw nothing Of what occurred after they
had paused around the point. / only
saw the boat push OF in that direction.
a A wuo SAW IT ALL.
After some further REORGANIZATION,
devoted principally to establishing the
length Of time which elapsed between
the moment OF Mr.. Bu~ckingham's lsav.
ing the pier and the hour Of the boats
return, Frank Green was called. He
said thai he and his wife were crossing
in the boat which Prof. Bray used, from
the island TO the pier. They saw the
| girls In wading. but neither thought II .
matter sven to be commented upon.
| They we're In full view OF the pier; their
drsssss we're raised just high enough 10
keep them from trailing In the water.
and NO higher. There was no exposure
and nothing that could provoke any
| comment Whatever. He landed at the
pier, and Prof. Bray and his friend took
the boat which he left. and put OF
toward the island. He was confident
that the ladies' could not be seen to
any batter advantage In the boat
than from the pier. They were
In full view all the time, and
there was nothing wrong about II. He
remained at Emerald Bay two days, and
neither he nor his wife ever heard the
subject mentioned.
LADY WITNESS.
Mr.. Pasmore's next witness was a lady
who felt far more outraged than the per.
SOM more nearly concerned. She. made
Is strong q case as possible against the
Professor. told him repeatedly that hs
was no gentleman, and asked permission
Of the Board TO refuse TO answer any
aud all questions asked by him. OF
| courss this request was courteously do
| clinsd, but the Professor showed himself
master OF far more gsntlemanly attri-
butes than she credited him with. by
Withholding many questions which hs had
u right 10 ask. out OF Difference 10 the
excited condition Of the lady's mind.
She said :
When the young ladies went into
the water they saw no q on the
pier but . boy. While l was gathering
grasses I heard Willie Pasmore say:
"Don't you get into that boat and 60 to
look at my sister; you are real mean 70
do itr' The men got into the boat and
rowed around the point. l told the
girls II they could not wade without
being disturbed to come out. I re-
marked: cts too bad. girls. that you
can't have q little fun without being
insuitsdi. I am surprised that Professor
Bray, holding the position that he does,
should take such q liberty!' Here the
lady volunteered the information to the
Board that Professor Bray was no ft
person to have girls under his charge.
and that 10 = girl Of hers were In attend
ancs at his school she would instantly
withdraw her. .
Nh. BRAY AND n LADY.
The witness said that she heard Cad
Smith call to the Professor . he was
going out to the pier. Miss Smith said;
$50 back and mind your W business.
The girls are in wading. and you have
no right to 90 out there" Professor
Bray looked somewhat astonishsd at
this new and unexpected charge that he
had been warned OF the pier. At length
the time for cross-sramination came.
The Professor turned to the witness and
asksd calmly.
