! after DR.. JOhnsOn's first visit.
Mr.. Earle was very severe in his
| cross-examinatiOn, especially upon the
| point of her recognition of the doctor.
| Mrs. Crow said she could not
now remember whether the man
he saw had a beard or not.
but thought he had little beard on his
cheeks. When Maggie was sick she did
not ask for any physician and made no
particular objection to the employment
of their family physician, DR.. johnson.
She only said she thought she would
get better without a physician.
Maggie Steinbauer was recalled. She
said there was nothing said by Dr.
HOyt as to what he would charge her
for this operation. She said the doctor
told her that he did not want any
money, but that he undressed and re-
tired with her, and said that was the
only pay he wanted. Sne said she would
rather pay him the money, but the
doctor would not have it any other
way. She had no money, or only about
q, but intended to pay him a she
earned it. He also retired with her on
Sunday evening, and when she objected
he told her to shut her mouth or he
would shut it for her.
The operation itself only lasted hall
an hour.
Or. j. r. Griswold was next called tc
the stand TO testify rs IN expert. Both
ergot and qulnine, ne SAID, were some
times used as assistants 10 the process.
Of labor, though quInine sometimes hai
the opposite effect, but there is scarce
| ly any drug used more frequently fol
TINS purpose.
The prosecuting attorney only in
tends 10 call one other witness and tha'
is DR.. Johnson, who attended the cir
in her sickness. He stated YESTERDAY
that if he called other witnesses i
would only be in rebuttal. The de
fense will probably present their cas-,
today.
