claims for the sake Of encouraging pub

mony That Evidences His Medical

ert TinsIey and John Walsh Are the
Litgants.

The trinl Of the case OF Dr.. D. B.
Hand against, the Central Telephone
company, was resumed before Judge
Archibald in court room No. 2, yester.
day morning. A massage specialist,
Mrs Cdpweli WAS placed on the stand,

the company and the city.
DR.. L. Wehlau was kept on the

been developed that Dr. Hrnd suffered
