ruled limiting the witness statements,
and sustained the objection.
O-Now, Doctor, state what relation
shin. or connection. if any, DIR. Reed bore
the nlaintlf? Al believe DR.. Reed and
Mrs DIR. Pipes are cousins. DR. Reed
studied medicine with DR.. Pipes, as / IN
derstand il.
O-State whether the conversation
with DR.. Reed, in the blggy, was long
one or not? Alt was long one, last
ing nearly all day. The Fourth ward
school was the frat one visited that morn
ing; it was at the beginning OF the trip
1t took all day to visit the eight schools
in the city.
To save time, Mr.. Caldwell here con-
deused certain of the matters he desired to
AJAX witness about, and to which there
would have been objection and delay If
asked in the form OF regular questions,
into the form of an offer, which offer was
objected to, and exception taken.
Mr.. Caldwell then proceeded
Doctor, I'll now ask you what was
said by DR.. Reed, if anything, on that
trip, about his having seen signals, or
flirting by signals, between DR.. Pipes ana
Miss Greenlee, within two or three years
before you had anythingt to do with the peii'
ton to which you obtained signers. OBJ
lection by Capt. Dovener and argument;
the Court withdrew the exclusion Of Tues
day as to what DR.. Mccoy said about the
signals, and overruled the objection just
made
Mr.. Caldwell proceeded to address the
Court, hut Capt. Dovener interrupted him.
Mr.. Caldwell-Oh, well, Your Honor,
this is insuffersble.
The examination proceeded
Q.-What was said about the signals!
A.-Dr Reed said he went down to the
lower Office one evening. DR.. Pipes was
confined to his room; he asked Mrs. Pipes
how the Doctor was and she gave him an
Indifferent answer, which he reprimanded
her, in mild way, for. Interruption by
Capt. Dovener She asked him, then, II
he would remain long enough to see what
occurred between Miss Greenlee's room
and her house when Miss 'ireenlee re-
turned from school. He stood in the office
door until he saw Mics Greenlee coming,
and then went into the sitting room, and
pulled the blind down, but could see the
Greenlee house. As soon as Miss Greenlee
could get up to her room she began to
make signals with her handkerchief, and
kept it up for a good long while. Then
Mrs. Pipes came in and asked if he could
see anything. He said he could "see that
darned old heifer" making signals which
he could not understand. He wanted Mrs.
Pipes to 20 up stairs and see what the
Doctor was doing She said it was no use,
as the Doctor was carrying on the same
operations from his end OF the line. DIR.
Reed was not satisfied, and told Mrs. Pipes
to 20 up stairs quietly and see what was
going on. She went up and DIR. Pipes was
standing at the window. The blind YVES
up, and DR.. Pipes Interrupted by Capt.
Dovener, who objected, that il had all
been heard the day before Mr.. Caldwell
interrupted the Captsin-the latter said;
"Will you keep quiet?"
Mr.. Caldwell-I'll subside.
Continuing, witness said: When Mrs.
Pipes opened the door, DR.. Pipes said he
was looking at the boys; he thought Ritch-
ietOwn had the worst boys in the world;
she said she knew what he was doing, that
he was flirting with Miss Greenlee, and
she reprimanded him for it.
