back Office without going into the front
Office. He remarked that he had gone to
call on a patient and while he was in the
house someone had stolen his horse. After
some little conversation about that subject

of the parties waiting for him in the front
Office. He then left the back Office and
passed into the front Office. He was away
about five minutes"
