MILWAUKEE, March 19.-In the Hollinas-
worth abortion trial this morning, the first
witness placed upon the stand WAS Dr.. Ssim,
who testified in reference to tho use Of chic
reform, and the length Of time required to
put patients under it's influence.
DIR. NJ DONALD,
He declared all of Miss Hollingsworth's tes-
timony in relation to the alleged abortion, to
be false. he never had examined her in his
life for any cause. Did not see her on the
day she alleged the abortion was committed.
She had lived with his family in Fon du Lac,
and while there was treated for weak eyes.
Found out she was not all right, and made
her leave the house. Esbjornson sent her
money. Miss Hollingsworth asked him to
BECOME A WITNESS AGAINST EsBJoRHsoS.
Said she could get thousand dollars out
of him, and promised, if he and his vito
would testify as desired, to give them half
of the money. Never told any friends in
Fond du Lac that he was receiving $3.50 or
1924 for treating Annie eyes. On the
cross examination Mcdonald became 80 ex-
ceedingly nervous that it was feared hs
would break down.
E. A. CAMPBELL, L1TCHFELp, LAWYER,
was then called by the prosecution. He con-
tradicted Annie's statement in regard to eve
ming consultations at his Office, and said that
such consultations were held, but At none of
them did any conversation take place such
as Esbjornson had tes titled to- Neither had
there been any feeling on his part toward
Esbjornson that caused him to
CARRY A REVOLVER,
as claimed. He held deed on the Hollines-
worth property in Litchfeld, to cover 10
tainer of one thousand dollars in the suit
pending in Minnesota, but did not deem the
transfer of the property final. Campbell
gave his testimony ina
QUIET, STRAIGHTFORWARD MANNER,
denying everything that had been claimed
by Esbjornson and others against him.
James E. Wilson and James T. Green, of
Fond du Lac, testified that Mcdonald had
pointed Annie out to them as the girl he was
doctoring for sore eyes, for which service he
was to receive 5000. The district attorney
announc ed that he had summoned
DILLON oBRIEN AND E1-ooNaREssMAN VIII
| SON,
to establish the character and reputation of
Lawyer Campbell, but the court thought this
unnecessary and ruled against their intro
duction as witnesses. An adjournment was
then had until tomorrow to await the arriv-
al of Annie's sister Rose, Mrs. Herriet, from
Litchfeld. With her testimony the case will
rest. The summing up by the legal gentle
men engaged may occupy two days or more.
