mot often," answered the doctor.
"Did you report the death to the health |
officer ~ was asked.
II did not" was the answer.
The witness then stated that he knew 1t |
was his duty to report the case to the |
health officer. He said he didn't know |
Lilies name and that this was the first |
patient he had ever treated, for that |
length OF time, that he did not know the

and the trip to her parents home.
told Hathaway that did not know the
Bordner girl. This was not q lie, but an |
evasion. When L told Jacobs did not
know anything about the case, that was
another evasion. Mr.. Welty thought there
were a good many evasiOns.
The cross-examination of DR.. Maxwell |
was very severe and Mr.. Welty made
him admit that he had made several state
ments to different persons that were not
rue, regarding this case.
HIS ARM AROUND, THR CORPSE.
DIR. D. P. Maxwell, the very truthful
witness, admitted on cross-examination
that he had ridden from Canton 10 Sandy
ville, q distance of twelve miles, with his
arms around the dead body OF Lille
Bordner. He did all of this to conceal
ler shame, IL fact all that he did and the
truthful statements that he made about
his name being DR.. Smith, and the girl
being hurt in runaway and dying on the
way home, were made for this purpose.
de had no desire 10 conceal his own iden- |
ity, but only wished TO protect the dead
yirl. II is q wonder the doctor did not
Iay that Marshal Gentry, Officers Slagle
md Harding and Reporter Hathaway, all
led in order to expose the girls shame.
