might marry me-"
"But you were engaged?"
"No."
"What had been said on that subject
between YOU and Mary DUNN"
Witness did not recall anything in
particular that had been said. He &C.
counted for his attentions to her by
saving: "Mary Dunn didn't have no
fellow, and didn't have no girl, and /
used to take her about"
"But what was said between you and
Mary Dunn on that subject?n
Nothing particular"
"Can you tell us of anything?"

Judge Symonds questioned the wit

where she would be an expense?"

Preble House felt that something was
wrong with her. The doctor wanted her
to come up, and gave witness card.

for the fee?"

The examination then went on to
Mary Dunn's visit to DR.. Foster's office.

about an hour and a half at that time.
He next saw her at the Preble House.
Then he did not see her again for about
two hours, when he visited her after

when the two started out to lind The

the street to point above DIR. Fosters,

ness his former testimony to the effect
that Mary Dunn complained all the
time while here.
Witness said she was sick coming down
on the cars, but not otherwise.
Judge Symonds then referred to wit
ness's conversation with DR.. Hughes on

Thursday after Mary Dunn's death, was
not mentioned in his testimony before
the coroner's inquest and in the police
