because l wanted to-"
ais there any coincidence in the fact
that you moved your Office the day this
girl died?'
"No, sir; didn't know she had died
until two days after"
Have you ever called in DR.. West to
assist you in cases where the patient was
suffering in the same manner as Addie
GilmOur?'
II don't know, 1 may have done So"
"Within the last two years have you not
had two such cases? | don't charge YOU
with being responsible for them, but two
cases suffering from the effects of criminal
practice? Did you not call in DIR. West 10
save the lives of your patients?"
Il don't know of any such cases."
didn't you have two such cases, one on
Van Ness avenue, near McAllister street,
and the other on a smaller street?"
al don't know"
"Did not you call in DR.. West to save
the lives of your patients in both these
instances2"
Eyes, if called him in at all, I called
him for that"
"Why did you employ an attorney if you
are not connected with this case?
81 didn't employ lawyer"
Didn't you send an attorney to my
office to ask me to let up on you while
you were on the stand?"
"No, SIR
Didn't you send I. E. Jarrett to my
office at 401 California street, to ask me to
let up on YOU"
"Mr. Jarrett is my regular attorney and
my personal friend. l never sent him to
you"
"Do you know that be came to my Office
on such an errand?"
Il don't know that | do"
Dr.. d. B. Plymire was called.
"What did DR.. West ever tell you about
this case?" asked Mr.. Black
is that rebutta?' asked Wilson.
II ask permission to put the question, u
said Black, and Wilson withdrew his OBJ
lection.
II don't remember much about what he
ever told me, the witness answered, "but
| asked him once how he had treated the
patient and he said he had operated upon
her."
Ibid you ever hear DR.. Harvey tell Dr.
West that he had better not stay here
that he had better go away and wait until
the trouble blew overP'
mo, sir"
AS there was some doubt as to whether
Dr. West had said Plymire was present
when that was said, court adjourned
until DR.. Vests testimony could be looked
up.
At the afternoon session portion of Dr.
Vests testimony on the former trial was
read by the court reporter. The extract
referred to the defendants remarks con.
corning Miss Gould's disappearance and

Tie doctor was acain placed on the
stand, and testified that after being i'm
prisoned he b ad sent for Meyer Jacobs.
Mr.. Jacobs had advised hIm to engage Mr..
Wilson as his attorney. Dr. Tuchler had
also visited him and expressed his
desire not to be mixed in the case. The
defendant said he had kept silent in refer

affair.
Some other witnesses gave testimony in
rebuttal, among whom was Miss Gilmour's
father, who denied most emphatcally
ever having limited to DR.. West that his
daughter might be living in some disrepu-
table house.
The testimony being all in, both at
torneys agreed to submit the case without
argument.
Judge Wallace then gave his charge to

without argument. be was hardly pre-
pared to address Them; but prepared OF
not, the charge, substantially the same as
that given on the former trial, was dis

said, after outlining the facts as adduced
by the testimony, that when a physician
commits an operation upon woman to
save her from disgrace, whether she lives
or dies, the peS"etrator OF the operation is
