Michael Freismuth lives in Fulton;
keeps barber shop in Alley 0; knew
DR.. Baird very well; knew DR.. Garrison
very well; witness heard DR.. Baird, on
the flrst morning OF the February food,
use bad language to Dr. Garrison.
DR.. Baird and Indy were coming
aleHg Main street in a buggy; DR.. Car
rison and another gentleman passed
them and DR.. Baird put his head outot
the buggy and said, "You, --- why
don't YOU look at me?n DIR. Garrison
paid no attention to him and acted as II
he did not hear him; there wau a lady
in the buggy with DIR. Baird; something
else was said by DIR. Baird, but witness
did not hear what it was; the lady in
the buggy looked to be about thirty
five years old; DR.. Garrison and the
other gentleman were walking on the
pavement; witness thought the gentle.
man with DR.. Garrison was DIR. Birneyt
the epithets were used immedi.
ately in front Of the new Stifel
building on North Main street,.
Mr.. L. ]. Park lives in North Wheel- z
ing and has been there ten years; has
known DIR. Garrison for six years; he
has not very extensive acquaintance
| in North Wheeling. He was asked no

WHAT HAD BEEN SAID TO DIR. MYERS.
DR.. E. G. Meyers lives on the Islandt
he knows DR.. Garrison; has known him
since he was a boy; has known Qg.
Garrison to be regarded by his neigh
bors and acquaintances as q law abiding
citizen; witness had been spoken to by
DR.. Baird concerning DR.. Garrison ssssss
eral times; DIR. Baird nearly always
spoke harshly Of DR.. Garrison when
they met; witness remembered the
difIfcultyain the City Building; DIR.
Baird talked to. him before and alter
that time; at the time Of the smallpox
quarantine, there was difficulty as to
the diagnosis, and DR.. Baird asked the
witness, who was the County Health
officer, to go and see the case, as he did
not think it was small pox; he tried to
array the witness on the side of those
who opposed DIR. Garrison's diagnosis;
witness objected to going, because II
was not in his jurisdictions DR.. Baird
said he thought it could be used against
Wthe e-A-n for Health Officer,
and that he did not think it was small
pox. Some time after that witness had
a meeting of the county Health Board
and DIR. Garrison appeared before the
meeting and made statement as to the
| Wheeling water supply; afterward DR..
Baird met witness and asked why he.
had allowed that - -
to be present; witness replied that
he had no right to exclude him.
DR.. Baird asked witness ii he thought
there was any possibility Of getting rid
| of that - Witness said he
thought not, that he supposed DR.. Gar
rison proposed to remain in Wheeling.
DR.. Baird said it would be possiblej
that they would defeatsshim for health
otticerand would starve
to death. DR.. Baird said he wished
some one would kill him. Witness
could not remember whether any OF
those conversations were after the cleo
ton of health officer; witness remem-
bered that at the meeting of the county
health board Dr. Garrison made no
mention of any filter or other system Of
| publication for the city water, but that
b. complained that, there was great
deal OF typhoid and that he thought
there should be better system OF water
supply.
Capt Dovener asked him why he had
quarantined steamboat and the wit
ness saidhe didso on official information
that she had small po1 aboard.
Capt. Dovener then asked who had
given the official information and Col
Arnett objected on the ground that u
could have no bearing upon the case.
Capt. Dovener said he proposed to
show that DR.. Garrison was the person
who cave that official information. Col.
Arnett asked what that had to do with
ana Capt. Dovener replied, because
W propose to show that he quaranHneq
a case Of itch, and can say SO and
prove it by two-thirds of the physicians
in the city" There was then q long
wrangle among the attorneys and the
Court as to whether the matter was ad.
missable. Capt Dovener then moved
to strike out all the witness's testimony
except the hostile expression, the wish
that someone would kill the defendant
This brought about another long talk as
to whether the matter should be de.
cided at once or after the testimony OF
the defense is all in.
CROSS EXAMINATIONS.
Captain Dovener had his motion re-
corded and asked:
Q.-What doyou know Of his reputa-
ton as quarrelsome MANI
Al have never known him tobe
quarrelsome in the matter OF picking
fuses with anyone; he was always ad-
Vocating improvements and sanitary
measures; his only quarrels ever
heard OF were the resultof public affairs.
Odd you ever hear Of him calling
others bad names2
Alive seen good deal OF 1t in the
newspapers since this trial began; but
nothing before that.
