y. ROQQell were sent Tor. w hen Ruddell
appeared DIR. Young utterly failed to rec
ogniZe him, saying that the man he thought
was Ruddell had heavy growth of black
hair running far down his neck and wore
black hat, while the growth of hair on
his face was heavier. Collector Wise then
came in and sat down next the witness.
DR.. Young failed to recognize him, and
until he was told who it was did not know
that the Collectors elbow was touching his.
The cr0ss-examination of DR.. Young
occupied most of the day, and was very
tedious because the witness would con-
stantly argue with Attorney L. ID. Rlor-
dan, then refuse to answer, then appeal to
District ATTORNEY Garter, and when told
finally by Commissioner Heacock that he
must answer he would try to evade the
question, and il would require halt dozen
questions to get an answer. SeVerai
times DR.. Young said fatty II won't
answer" even after United States District
Attorney Garter had instructed that ne
must answer the question and the court
had ordered him TO answer.
The principal object of the croSs-examln-
alton was TO show the aDimus oil the WIZ
ness and the methods when be used to get
Miller to confess to him and a man named
WINNER. whom DR.. Young took into tie
case as private detective. DIT. Young
admitted that he knew Miller was adj
dicted to drink and had lost his position at
me time on account oil drink, yet he ad-
mitted that while the physician of the
Miller family he had sent for Fred Miller
to go to his Office. and had there given him
tWO-thlr0S OF glass of claret Tin order to
make him talk" He also admitted that at
the time he made Miller believe he Or.
oung) was helping him hunt down the
opium which VOss had stolen, and that
the private detective" WINNER, knew
something about il, 80 ii was agreed be-
tween himself and Miller that they should
WIDlmQr in his fI1r Nnunn' lnff n
get WINNER drunk and pump him. "The
truth was" said DIR. Young. that VIM
mer and L expected to pump Miller" At
any rate before WINNER arrived at the
office DR.. Young, according to his testi-
mOny, took one or two glasses out Of a
medicine case, into one OF which
he poured some claret for Miller, which
he drank. When WINNER arrived he did
not drink, there apparently being no ne
cessliy OF f0ollng young Miller any further.
ln answer TO questions as to whether there
was anything in the glass he gave to Miller
except the clarei, DR.. Young replied: mo.
there was nothing in it. not even smoke"
When pressed as to what he meant by
smoke he could not or would not give a
satisfactory answer. The next point was
why the doctor. the physician of the Miller
family for six years and On intimate terms
with them, worked for over three months
TO unearth the smuggling ring, ne having
already testified that he hoped for no re-
ward. His only answer was that he was a
citizen, and that smuggling being a crime
he worked for love OF his country.
On number of minor points The doctor
either refused to testify or so testified that
his answer was not responsive and the
tilis between the witness and counsel were
cct. 'tant Suddenly Attorney Riordan,
after asking DR.. Young about his visit to
Mrs. Miller in October last. asked:
did you ever ask Mrs. Miller for
loan of SCOOP"
YES" answered the doctor, and Attor-
ney Garter and the special agents straight
ened up.
ibid you get lt?"
mo. But let me tell you about that"
said DR.. Young. Mrs. Miller's brother
in-law told NE she had $1,000 she want ed
10 loan and / went 10 her and tried TO bOr-
row it or | told her if she would give me
$3.50 l would act as her family physician
for FIVE years"
What security did you offer for the
lOan?" asked Riordan.
Il was going 10 give her mortgage on
the house"
What house?"
We'll. | was going TO build house."
"Ob. you had lot then and wanted the
$1,000 to build on it. Where was the lot?"
II bad no lot," reluctantly answered DR..
Young. L was going to buy lot on the
installment plan and build on it and then
give her mortgage"
After the other mortgages had been
given?"
YES" said the doctor.
Then it was brought out that the at
temp to borrow, during which time DR..
Young was addressing Mrs. Miller as
dear friend" was before the doctor had
reported Mrs. Miller's son as a smu,gler.
but while he was trying to entrap him.
Then Mr.. Garter and the witness had
misunderstanding as TO what the United
States District a ttorney had said, and Mr..
Garter In emphatic terms denied Dr.
Ioung's statement, which was to the
effect that when he (Young) first called on
Garter the latter had said that IF he
notified the department at Washington of
the information Young had given him it
would all get out and everybody would
skip" 1t was while Garter and Young
were wrangling over this statement that
the witness said he had no faith in Garter
or any of the Government officials. They
will probably finish with DR.. Young this
morning and bring on another important
witness. said to be A. j. Smith. The de-
tense claim to be ready for Mr.. Smith
with sundry questions that will make his
testimony Interesting.
