and he came in and sat down and put
his feet on the desk; he was smoking d
cigar. and said DR. Baird had passed him
and called him that name, and that the
old fool would call him that once more
and that would be the end OF it. Ihat ;
not the whole of it, but the substance
of it: it was turned off; nothing was
said about insurance policies; told the
Doctor | wouldn't pay any attention TO

after awhile the Doctor got up and
walked out.
In reply to further questions, the wit
ness said he had made application to the
Doctor for an insurance policy, but not
that morning. The Doctor did not tell
him why his policy did not come in that
conversation; he did not tell him that
the reason, as stated by Mr.. Hathaway,
was that because DIR. Baird said he
wouldn't do anything where DR.. CARR
son was concerned with 1T.
