tween any of the persons and the doctors
performed.
Recess for dinner.
In the course of an interview during the
recess Wolf said that he had not
told the whole story of the Schloss case
when on the stand for the state because he
was threatened with arrest If he told it.
He refused to state in an interview
whether the threats had come from the
city attorney or the police or from another
so1rce.
he also stated that he had been threat
ened with death If he told the name of
the person Cash had said furnished the
pills.
After the recess Wolf again took the
stand.
Mr.. Case-Mr. Wolf, ask you, in view
of the change in tbs testimony you have
made to-dsy from that you made the other
day, what reason you had for not relat-
ing all these facts when examined by Mr..
Fox.
Wolff was threatened with arrest If I
told all knew.
Mr.; Case-When and where were you
threateneda
Wolf-In this room before went on the
stand.
Who threatened youa Different per-
sons.
Did Cash say anything to youa No.
Who did?
Ruth. he told me must tell story as
near like Cash as possible. Cash told me
he was going to throw the two doctors
down If he could. This talk occurred up
in Ruth's house. I was then told that if
anything was told about drugs that I
must say did not know anything about
them.
After Cash had testified I went out to
lunch with him. I told him he ought not
be so hard on the doctors, because I
thought he did them an injustice.
was told that Cash told Mr.. Fox what
said Mr.. Fox came to me in the store and
asked me If had told Mr.. Asher my opin-
ion and I told him had not Mr.. Fox
did not threaten me with arrest, but some
one else did.
Wolf, when CROSS. examined by Mr.. Fox,
said that the testimony he had given to the
coroner had not been under oath. He said
| that his head was much clearer to-day than
when he testified before the coroner, and
| that he was In fear of arrest if he told his
whole etory then. He mentioned Union
| reporter, Tom Brady, who used to run the
pool room, and Assessor William Shannon
| as those who had warned him against tell
| ing the whole story. He testified that he
| had not had any correspondence concern
| ing an abortion and had not destroyed any
| letters. he did not know that an abortion
was going on. He was called in Dr. Whit
tens Office and heard $3.50 mentioned. He
| acknowledged that he testified that there
| was some blood on DR.. Lees hands. Wolf
flushed at 3:15 and DR.. Lss took the
stand.
DR.. Lee testified that on the evening Of
August 16 he started out West Chapel
street to make non professional call. On
the way he stopped at DR.. Whitten's. Dr..
Written was out and he sat there talking
with Mrs. Written when the door bel
rang and Wolf, Cash and Maggie Schloss
DIR. Lee got up and left the Office. DR..
Written came in about 1870, but after
conversation with Cash he said he did not
wish to take the case and DR.. Lse was
asked to do 30.
DR.. Lee then proceeded in the main as
| follows:

said good evening to her. She raised her
head just little and returned my saluta-
ton. I said to her 4 understand you are
very SICK ooh, yes,' she said, with deep
Sigh. Then told her that I understood
she was in the family way, but that did
not know her condition at all but that I
understood she had been taking medicine.
I also said that I had a little time
to spare and I would like to
examine her. So she took off
lay down on the examining table. I Gov
cred her with sheet from her feet up to
her neck. found that her under clothing
was on her In such a manner that 1t would
b. impossible for the examination to pro-
| coed. She had to rearrange her clothing
before the examination could progress. I
then placed my hand on her abdomen. She
cried out oh, doctor don't I'm sore there.
| 1 placed my hand on various other parts of
her abdomen and found that was the only
sore spot. then, upon superficial exam
nation, found that the vagina and uterus
were unobstrucred. did not then con-
duct the examination further, but step
ped back into the parlor where the two
young men were sitting. expected that
they knew all about her condition. asked
Cash what his name was and what the
girls name was, and where they lived.
Cash said he had met her on Chapsl street
that evening, saying that he had been to
Savin Rock and had returned, and ss he
came up the street with bis friend he met
the girl near the green. He noticed that
she was acting peculiarly and she told him
that she was very sick end that he must
take her to doctor and consequently he
had brought her there, and had brought
the other (referring to Wolf along as he
had some money and he supposed they
would need money. I told him
that abortion had taken place and that che
was then suffering under the effects of II.
He then asked me how much I would ask
to take charge of her. told him that she

or three weeks; that would have to give
up several patients I then had. told him
of one case in particular had refused to
proceed with until payment of $50 was
made to me, and I was to recsive my an
swer next day. I should have to give this
up as we'll as patient was treating for a
hip difficulty in Hoboken and for which
was expecting to be called
by telegram every day. On the whole
I told him I would rather not take the case
and run the risk of losing her. He asked
Ansonia. I said thought she could. He
then asked me again how much I would
take the case for as a contract, furnishing
all the medicines in addition to my ser
vices. I said that it would not pay me to
take the case in that way for less than
$3.50. He thought that was too much
'Well,' 1 said to him, 4 would
rather not accept the case.' He said that
all he could afford to pay was $125, So
after thinking 1t over I decided that
would not stand over $25. He went over
to the other young man and got $115,
which he daid me, and said that If you will
accept the 1926 in advance as full payment
we will go out and borrow the other $40.
Then they went out into the hall, while
went back through the dining room. There
| met DR.. Written. That's pretty sick
gill in there, DOCTOR said, and asked
him for a little wine for the
young woman, as she felt faint.
! He said that he would get her
some, and he reached up and got glass
of wine from the buffet. took 1t in and
gave it to the young woman and then went
| into the back Office. I heard the front
door close at this time. told DR.. Whit
| ten that wanted to make a more thor
ough examination, and asked him for some
carbolic acid. He got me some and put
1t in a bowl of hot water, using 1t as dis
infectant. put my specalum and sound
in the solution and then took them out
and wrapped them in towel. The specu-
lum and sound are instruments often used
in making these examinations, and an
tioipated using them on this case.
I went back to where the young woman
was lying on the examining table. I went
through the same vancouver as before. I
got many black spots on my finger, some
