CArsKILr. Nov. 12-Dr. De Grand D. Erway.
the Leeds physician who was Jointly indicted
with pastor George for manslaughter In the
FIRST degree. In causing the death Of Lolita
Townsend By o criminal operation. became
hopelessly entangled In his own contradictory
testimony to-day. DR.. Erway 10 now under
$S,OOO ball to stand trial at the next session Of
the court Georges defence Is Of vital impor-
tancc to him. From Erwny's testimony to- day
It was apparent that he had come to the con-
clusion that his interests are identical with
those Of the accused clergyman. After their
arrest last winter. the accused mon were al
most tumblng over each other In their eager
ness to make the first confession. Each suc-
cseded In making several confessions, and It
was DR.. Erway's painful task to swear them
all away to-day. His memory worked along
the lines Of his own defence. and then became
almost blank under Mr.. Osborn's cross-ex-
animation.
Until his appearance on the witness stand
there was sympathy expressed here for the
Doctor. who 1t was thought, was the dupe Of
parson George DR.. Erway's own reluctant
admissions to-day brought out new phase Of
the Leeds tragedy They brought out in strong
colors the sutferings Of Lotta Townsend As
she lay dying alone in the house Of the minister
who had wronged her. Erway's fear OF detec-
ton prevented him from following course OF
treatment that. with proper care, might have
saved the girls life. This has been shown by
the physicians who afterward attended
Lotta, and It was corroboroted to-day by
DIR. Erway. The villniny and coward,ce OF tho
parson and doctor have been emphasized to-
day by tho story Of their heartless treatment
OF the girl There is but one opinion as to DR..
Erway expressed here tonight As the story
OF Lotta Townsends sufferings and unneces-
sary death came out in his unguarded admis-
sions, the aversion that was felt toward him BY
the men In the crowded court room could
hardly be repressed. Erwavs attitude was
cringing in the extreme. Even under Mr.. Os-
born's most torturing questions he did not
show single trace Of the resentment that was
at times shown by Parson George His
answers were given quietly. and in many in
