A few minutes after the assembling OF

Wednesday. the plaintiff concluded the di-
rect examination of DR.. Pipes, aud MT
Alfred Caldwell began the cross examina-
ton. Mr.. Geo. B. Caldwell, OF counsel
for defense, was present, having arrived
from Philadelphia just before noon.
In response to questions, DR.. Pipes said
first became acquainted with Miss Jo-
ssnbine Greenlee in the fall of 1876; the
frat time spoke to her Miss Anderson was
with her. che had taught in the school be-
fore that; 1 first visited her professionally,
IN tba fall or winter of 1875; am not GER
tain whether she first came to my office OF
not Int I visited her time or two at her
boarding house; she consulted me ABOUT
her ewes; she said she could not read at
night: | was not more than once or twice
Of MIRA Mackim's; after that she had face
trouble-eczema; saw her once or twice
for this. I saw her at Mrs Mix's, but not
often. her bill was only six dollars; l
made no call that was unprofesslonal up TO
that time; l attended her professionally
at Mrs. Mix's: don't recall the trouble; l
was there two or three times with others
Harvey Leighton, Robert Ford, and Others
Mrs Mix PLAYED and we tried to schot-
t;sche. dom remember ever dancing with
Mis-. Greenlee: that never occurred, ana
there is 10 foundation for Mrs. MIX TO say
40: if Mrs. Mix says ii occurred, she s"esrs
falsely; did not kiss Miss Greenleei
there is no foundation for Mira Mlx's story
in that regard. and she swore falsely; l
visited Miss Greenlee, at Mrs. Weede's, on
IaBelle street: l don't think she was
there very Iong-Mrs. Weede; she went 10
Chicago: I never saw Miss Greenlee, sick,
at Mrs. Weede's, more than once or twice.
7 never visited her socially there; she moved
from Mrs. Weede's to Mrs. Smiths in
1880 or 1851 won't be sure; at Mrs.
Smiths visited her several times; once
she was confined to her bed; she was there
two or three years. good while; | never
visited her there directly; l saw her there
while visiting others, and talked two or
three times to her; she was never the object
of social call; she then went to
housekeeping, with her sister, on
Thirty-third street; there she was
very sick with typhoid fever; she
was out of school about Six weeks; recall
one visit Mrp. Pipes and l made TO her;
Miss Greenlee was sick, or had been sick;
may have asked Mrs Pipes to 90; l
sometimes requested her to go and see pa
tients; Mrs. Pipes didn't attend the Green
lee dinner party at my especial request; l
am not sure we went together, but | know
went up street, and when got back din
ner was about over; up to the summer OF
1887 / made good many professional
visit there were probably two or three
other calls; went two or three times On
business matters; il is not true, when |
didn't tell Turk where | was, / could be
found at Miss Greenlee's; what he said on
the stand WAS not justified; never called
upon her in my life, except professionally,
about the property, or the scholars, except
as have stated; was never there, two or
three times week, for an hour or 80;
will say, after the school troubles came mp,
| was there twice in one week, to see her
about some stories / heard of her, which
she denied this was just prior to the July
or August 1887, meetings of the Board;
they are the only times / can recall.
Didn't you say you never made any
signals? A.-Yes, sir; deny making Gig
malls while | was cOnvalesclng; and not
only deny it then, but at all other times;
Mrs. Pipes testimony in relation to that
matter is undoubtedly false; the same of
DR.. Reede or any other person who says so;
have seen Miss Greenlee use her hand
kerchief frequently, because of her ca
iarrhal trouble-at the window, while she
was reading, etc; saw her once at the
window; saw no movement Of the hands.
Q-You never kissed Miss Greenlee at
your Office door? A.-No.
Q.-When was the sofa incident in your
parlor? A.-About 1878 or 1879; she WAS
calling on Mrs Pipes, or she may have
called on me; she may have called on me
in the office; l treated her very often, in
the Office; she may or may not have con-
suited me; she often called in the house to
see me; have prescribed in the house for
her; l was sitting along side of her on the
sofa. and Mira. Pipes WAS in a chair;
caught her, probably by the arms OF
shOulders-I can't say; don't know that
l did or did not have my arm around her;
l did it probably as you would do it; the
only reproof got was she pushed me off,
right suddenly; / did not snatch kiss;
she did not reprove me in words; that Is
the only foundation for what Mrs. Pipes
said about hugging and kissing.
Q-You said there was no bed scene in
| 1879? A.-Yes, it was in 1877. l locate
it by the Two Orphans" at the Opera
House. ] think the people of the house
were in bed when we got in | think she

were in the parlor quite good bit; it may
have been midnight; Mrs. Pipes spoke
about going to bed, and about the girls be-
ing there. Miss Greenlee said she would
90 home, but Mrs. Pipes said she could be
accommodated. Miss Greenlee spoke
about taking the lounge, and allowing us
to use the bed, but finally they went up
stairs and got into bed, and followed af
ter awhile Mrs. Pipes made no objec-
tiOns; what she said was not correct
They had put up spread as a screen be-
tween the bed and the lounge, hung on
couple of chairs; it was rs good screen
as could be made with the materials on
hand. l don't know what time it was
when was called; there was no light, ex-
cept very faint light from the CRATE; the
| IOOm WAS Atlll uaIk Wneu ROt DhCki IL
was along about 2 or 3 o'clock don't
know the hour; when got back
II was very cold; my feet were
cold; l didn't stir the fire up-it was
pretty well ont; Mrs. Pipes said; Il don't
want to be crowded up; just get in be-
tween Miss GIeenlee and me-she won't
care" she said nothing; got over Mrs.
Pipes; suppose l got my feet pretty
close to Mrs Pipes, for she said: Take
your feet down-they are cold as ice" 1
don't know whether took them down or
not; was not long going to sleep; my
back was to Miss Greenlee, never sleep
on my left side; l have no knowledge of
touching Miss GTeenlee; 1 think she
moved over; when l woke up in the morn
ing, the ladies were still in bed, talking
across me; my wife got up and stirred up
the fire; she always stirred up the fires in
the morning-it was her invarieble prsc-
tice; Miss Greenlee then said: How'll l
get out2" and l said: "I'll not look at
yOu;" Miss Greenlee got ont Of the bed
next to the wall; did not see her; moth
ing was said about the size of their limbs
while they we're putting on their stock
ings; l don't know that noticed them up
