There was quite little stir outside
the grand jury room yesterday. There
was an array of witnesses who have
been called to testify in various cases,
and they passed away the weary hours
in the stutfy little room while the
majesty of the law ground out indict-
mentS in the next room. One of the
first cases called in the afternoon was
the matter of the Hollins confession,
and there was little stir of expectancy
among the witnesses who had been
obliged for two days to be
in attendance, and were becom-
ing weary of the monotony. DR., XII
YlngtQp carried in the records of the
health officer and presented the report
of the man who inspected the rooms of
the physician; also the reports of the in
vestigation of two cases of puerperal
fever which he had reported to the
health Office, the records of all the
births, still-bOrn or otherwise, that
cover space of two years. The birth
report shows that this physician has had
but six cases of ll-birth to report,
while some others have reported as high
as two in one month, four of them hay-
ing had that number to report.
Miss Shulean, who was present as one
of the witnesses, feels very much hurt
at the state of affairs and the way some
of the reporters have handled their i'll
terviews with her. She states that the
doctor made no secretof his going away,
but spoke of the trip early in the sum-
mer, informing many of bis patients
that he would be absent from the city
for little while. She states that his
brother and herself have both received
letters from him. last Mondays mail
bringing the last, but that he has not
sent any word that would lead them to
believe that he would not be back at the
time stated, Feb. l. HIS brother sent
him letter to Boston, where he was at
the last writing, informing him of the
state Of affairs, and 1t is probable that
word will soon be received in answer.
Miss Shulean is quiet. self-contained
young lady, who does not allow herself
to get in the least excited, and she has
implicit faith in the idea that the story
is scandal out of whole cloth. She
says that she heard it discussed in
street car before the doctors departure
by couple of women, but paid little at
tention to it, thinking it but idle gossip.
All the witnesses in the case were heard
and allowed to depart. From the length

or the other in short order.
The case of Howard II. Kicker was
taken up and the witnesses examined.
