DIR. LEE TELLS HIS STORY.
Wolf mt Last Goes Back on Cash-He
Tells a Story which is Afterwards
Corroborated by DR.. Lees Testimony
DIR. Lee Says the Girl Was in Crit
tcal Condition When He Took Her
as Patient-Yesterday Damaging
Day for Young Cash.
The second day of the defense In the
Lee and Written murder trial opened yes
terdsy morning at 1890 O'Clock before
Judge Callahan. From the testimony
which follows 1t will be readily seen that
the defense is presenting its line Of defense
quite strongly. DR.. Wolff of Hartford,
the medical expert, was first called by Mr..
Case. The stenographer was asked to read
the testimony given by DR.. Wolff Tuesday.
He had left his notes at his Office and con-
sequently delay of about an hour was
necessitated. The re, examination OF DR..
Wolff was for the purpose of making clear
the opinions given Tuesday. DR.. Wolf
was dismissed and Mr.. Case called out,
''Nathan Wolf" i. This caused some little
surprise, as Wolf had already testified fol
| the state and WAS considered one OF the
| strongest witnesses that Attorney Fox had.
Wolf took the stand and Mr.. Case said:
Mr.. Wolf, put you upon the stand fol
| the defendant for whom appear, in order
that you may tell all you knowof this case,
to supply any omissions, If any there are,
in what you have already stated, in short,
to tell the whole story. >,
| Mr.. Fox-It seems to me that this 1s al
out of order. This witness has already
been examined. He has told his story.
He was sworn to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. I car
see no reason for putting on this witness
again. We shall never get through If We
proceed in this way.
| Mr.. Case-L-
| The COURT don't care to hear you, Mr.
| Case. The court does not know what thif
witness is going to cay, it has no means Of
knowing, but he Is put on by the defense
| and they have right to put him on.
Mr.. Fox-Mr. Case, this Is all irregular
You put on this witness and proceeded t.
Cross examine him again.
Mr.. Cass-I did nothing of the kind.
Mr.. Fox-If you will state on your pro
fessional honor, Mr.. Case, that you hav,
ever known such proceeding in the u.s.
of evidence
Mr.. Case-Most certainly I have, and
was about to go state when the court sale
he did not care to hear me.
Mr.. Fox-All right, will withdraw nj
| objection.
Mr.. Case-Mr. Wolf I want you to nov
tell the court all you know about this case
Tell all that you omitted to tell in youl
previous testimony. If you omitted any
