DIR. A. S. SHORE.
He testified as follows: Ikuew
the deceased only as Mrs. Stone.
She came to my Office about two
months before her death, and stat.
ing that she was pregnant, asked
me to produce an abortion on her.
This / refused to do, but at her re-
quest told her I would attend her II
che was taken sick. After that I did
not see her again till February
4th, when she sent for me. found
her in pain and prescribed NOR
phine pills to alleviate this. Here
the witness identified pill TAX
en- from her trunk as being one of
those he had left. Visited her on
Sunday and found her no worse.
Prescribed more pills If pain re.
commenced. Visited her again in
tho evening. On my reaching
the door she said: "I'vs got
them, doctor.n "Got what?n said
1. 'I've got twins" At her re.
quest l took the foeti away. Visit
ed her again on Monday and found
her worse. On Tuesday found her
still worse. Visited her again on
Wednesday evening and found her
no better. On Thursday morning
she was better, but on Thursday
evening she was dead. .Iu my
treatment used no csrbolic acid,
and can only account for its pres.
ence III the womb by supposing
that the nurse in following my
directions TO cleanse the vagi-
ma, had used carbolic soap.
When l came to visit her on Sun.
day officer HOrnsr told lne she was
dead and that the SchladOrs were
accusing nae Of having produced
the abortion. / said to him, 81
am as innocent of this as you are."
| never saw the girl after the first
time she came to my Office till l
found her sick abed few days be-
fore her death.n The witness then
testified that he knew nothing OF
who produced the abortion. That
he himself had nothing to do with
it. The witness was then asked q
number Of questions tending to
show that no physician with any
instruments at all would have
made such bungling operation as
that performed upon the girl. The
account book of the witness was
then produced, showing q number
OF entrles, in their regular order, OF
visits to the deceased and charged
at So so for each vislt. Witness
testified: III received no pay from
the girl. l looked the door when I
made the examination of the girl
to ascertain the nature of her
trouble, because the room opened
on to.a public hallway. On my
first examination I considered an
abortion probable.n
In the 0ss-examiBati0n the
witness testified that the girl call.
ed on him about two months be.
fore at his office and requested him
| to procure an abortion on her, and
he did not see her again till the 4th
of February. She then sent for
me and I went to the Schlador
house and found her In bed in
danger of miscarriage.
| After q number of questions in
regard to the customary practice
In cases of this character, the wit
ness was excused and the taking of
testimony closed.
The prosecution then offered In
evidence the testimony of Mrs.
Mcintyre, taken before the Coro-
ner's jury. This was objected to
by the dafense as being incompe-
tent and the objectioD sustained.
The prosecution then asked per-
mission to produce as witness
Mrs. SohlsdOr, to show that tho
girl had made statement to her
subsequently to what purported to
be her dy ying declaration. Permis-
sion was granted. Meanwhile,
DIR. H. NADEAU
Was called to the stand and testi-
fed in regard to the nurse, Miss
Mcintyre, that her testimony, de.
clariug that on examining the
trunk after the girls death that
che found an iron instrument which
che gave into the charge Of DIR.
Nadeau, was incorrect, and that he
never had or saw such an instru-
ment. This being the only point
the prosecution desired TO prove
by him he was excused and
Mrs. Schlador was brought on the
stand. But the prosecution being
unable to prove that at the time OF
her conversation with her that the
| girl was in fear of impending
death, the testimony was not ad-
mitted. The testimony was now
