Or. Baird was about the streets?
Ayes, very often.
Odd you ever know of Dr. Baird
offering to hurt DR.. Garrison? %

tendance at the Water Board office, in
that building? Al saw him there
often, but not daily.

think saw him as often as every day,
in course Of week, hardly that; can't
say as to that.
O.-Was he there as much as much
as once in two weeks? Objection by
defense; Capt Dovener said the witness
had given very dramatic recital OF
the trouble, and he proposed to show
the Water Board Office was on the same
floor of the building and the Doctor
was going back and forth all the time,
and that no attempt was made TO carry
out what was merely an idle threat.
Objection sustained.
Q.-WaS DR.. Baird member OF the
Water Board? Ayes. Objection by

situated? The former objection raised
again, and Capt. Dovener again said he
proposed to prove that DR.. Baird had
daily oppor unity to carry out that
threat, to which Mr.. Sommerville said
they could not do it by that witness;
they could have the witness on for the
State, if they wanted to; argument;
overruled.

mad when he was taken away; when he
came back, l thought he had Gained,
and that is the reason | opened the

TO walk to the partition door; then two
or three Of us took hold of him and
pulled him back from the door, and |
! said. doctor, this won't do; you'll have
to 20 OUT" and we took him to the
