next session.
According to that request the witness
had afterward called in August upon Miss
Gilmour at 81 Bush street. They ex-
changed three ct four visits. On these oc-
casiouS she was down-hearted. ''She was
always down-hearted when she called on
me" added the witness, pathetically.
She never mentioned any other doctor
than Mrs. Dale. Had never mentioned a
Mrs Gordon, and the witness never heard
OF her having been treated by Mrs. Cor
don. MISS GllmOur had never said she had
mad criminal operation performed on her
before. They had not discussed methods
of such operations. The witness might
have warned her that if she was bent on
such thing she had better do it as soon
as possible. He could not remem Der say
ing so, but he might have.
Miss Gllmour had said in August she
was going home to Colusa to try TO meet a
person from whom she expected 10 get
some IN Oney.
WiIson-TheD she called OH you right
along. just as ladies always do who want
some such operation performed. eh?
The witness Qndignantly)-No, sir;
don't want any such intmation. ] don't
know how often ladies have TO call for
such operations.
WilsOn-What has your professor told
You al college on that point?
The witness-We had no professor at
college on that point.
At last Miss Gilmour told the witness
she was going to call at DIR. Vests. She
had told the witness she had been sick I
the Elmer House. She first mentioned
DR.. West on Friday, the 1St inst. She said
she was going there ana asked the witness
to call and bring her mail from Bush
street. The witness had also addressed
two letters for heroine to Mr.. Buster and
the other to her sister. He had sent her
mail by a boy picked M on the street
The witness had never passed himself
off as Miss GilmOur's brother.
The witness had told DIR. Harvey that
Miss Gilmour was going to DR.. Vests.
lie did not think DR.. Harvey was very
friendly to DR.. West. He Qhe witness)
did moi feel 1t was his business to prevent
her going to DR.. VESTS. DIR. Harvey had
said he did not like the way in which he
had been dragged into consultation with
! DR.. West in the Smith case.
Don't you know, Mr.. Plymire, that
Miss Gllmour had had that operation per
formed before she went to DR.. Vests ?"

Don't you know that everything had
been completed except some after-copse-
quences, and that when she went TO DIR.

tion?"
Il know she was not in very bad con-
dition."
The witness did not know that she had
asked DIR. Harvey to perform the opera

This closed the eross-examination for
the time, though the witness was told 10

Attorney Wilson indicated in the course
OF his cross-examinatiOn of Plymira that il
might be shown that that young man ad
only turned over the girl to DR.. West after
he himself had attempted 10 perform a
criminal operation upon her. Wilson'S
attempt to gain point about the disposal
by medical students of dissected subjects
by throwing them into the bay in coaIoi
cans was also noted.
On the adjournment OF court DR.. and
Mrs. West were allowed some time fol-
