"Dr. HOyt told me not 10 take any OF
the medicine he gave me on Tuesday
night, but TO take ethe medicine in three
doses Mr. Earle thought the witness
had cOntradicted her testimony IN
police court regarding the taking of the
medicine, and asked her questions
court below. The testimony was clear
that witness took the second bottle of
medicine in several doses, but seemed =
triflc contradictory regarding the first
bottle of medicine and the directions
! for It's taking.
Or. Hoyt was recalled by Mr.. Earle
and testified that his office hours were
consplcuOusly posted upon the doors
! leading To his rooms; were 30 posted be-
