next. but would be all right in two or
three days. The Doctor remembered
about Mary Dunn being at his of6ce, but
could not tell what be had given her.
On cross-examination, Monahan said

been away from there for fifteen years.
He had been at Lancaster eight years.
Mary Dunn was born at Leeds, Canada,
five miles from St.Sylvester. They were
relatives, acquainted with one another

when he went home to visit. She left
Canada about six years ago, and came

brook, she returned to work in the
family of Irving W. Drew, where she re-
manned until she came here. Witness
saw her the Sunday before she came to
Portland, and walked alone with her.
She told him that she had worked in
Portland. sa1d was coming to try.to get "a

. Mr.. Monahan, how do you trace your

Monahan, continuing his testimony,
said that he arrived in Portland about
half-past one on the afternoon Of Novem-
bers3. After taking dinner near the sta
tion, he went to the United States Hotel
and inquired for Mary Dunn. Not find
ing her there, he went to the Preble
House. Learning that woman named
Dunn was there, he sent up mis- card, and
she came down. After talking moment
in the hall she invited him into the par
lor. But as there were several persons
there and as she was feeling badly, she
invited witness to go up to her room.
This he did. He asked her what the
trouble was and she said she would
have to find out. She had been irregu-
lar in health for seven weeks, and would
like to find out how she was. Her head
and stomach bothered her some. She
did not at that time inform him that
she was in family way. She wanted
him to see doctor for her. So witness
went out and meeting a stranger asked
him to refer him to a good doctor. That
man pointed out doctor, whom wit
ness remembered as "Dr. FORSTER. u
whose Office was above the hotel on the
opposite side. When Monahan told the
case to the doctor he told him to have
the girl come to the office.
The questioning next was devoted for
some time to ascertaining as to the iden-
THY of DR.. FORSTER" He was a large
man. with dark complexion, full beard,
little gray, and abont so years of age.
This doctor said he would tell the girl
what allied her as near as he could for
five dollars.
Il This happened about three o'clock In
the afternoon. Witness. went backsto the
hotel. He found Miss Dunn in the cor.
ridor crying. He gave her card, in
forming the doctor that the bearer was
the lady N question, and showed her
the way to the Office. Witness signed
his own name to the card. He had CIV
en- his own name to DR.. FORSTER, but did
not remember that he had given Miss
Dunn's. He accompanied her to the
o flee, which was up one fight of stairs
on the first floor. There he left her
and returned to the hotel, very soon 60
ing out to meet. some friends from Dali
ton, N. H., viz: Mrs. James Martin.
her daughter, Mrs. Fannie Brown, an
other unmarried daughter and a son.
These friends came down ON the same
train. The children ara first cousins by
marriage to witness, but no relation to
Mary Dunn. Witness walked on the
street with them ten or fifteen minutes,
and then went around alone awhile,

turned from the DOCTORS.
