| Il I1itnu along TO see lf1e klchlnS anu
| dancing of Dolly. 1t was then 2:40 in
| the morning, and Dolly said she was too
! tired to dance, but she did some high
kicking.
Il may have said that / would come
| back some other time and bring some
, friends to see her kick and dance. No;
we did not kiss and hug the girls any
| more than was absolutely necessary to
| allay their suspicious
This was not the place where the
girls recognized you, was it-none of
| these girls were members of your con-

which Rev. DR.. Mclean replied, mo,
! SIR
The reverend witness. after promising
I, to repeat his pulpit roast of Attorney
Rush If he would promise to come to
church next Sunday, then described the
parting scene at Madam Vans, when the
madam ordered the crowd out, as it was
late and time for the girls to go to bed.
This was about $3.50 a. M
You kind O. favored this place, didn't
your asked Mr.. Rush. "You went
there second time and stayed longer
than in the other places. Was it be-
cause the girls are better looking, or
did you have special reason for want
ing to advertise this particular place?"
Rev. DR.. Mclean disclaimed any de-
sire to advertise the house, and in an
swer to very pointed question from
the attorney said:
mo, Dolly did not sit on my lap.
One girl, who was sitting beside me
threw her leg over my knees, and she
solicited me to go into her room. Dolly
refused to dance the hula-hula dance
without any clothes on, and said she
wouldn't do it before the crowd for $50,
but if l would go to her room she would
give me all kinds of hula-h hula dances.
NO, l. am not positive I was not the one
who offered her SIS to strip and dance
the hula-hula. 1 don't remember who
it was
We'll, doctor, did you get excited over
these incidents?'
Mot a Bit" answered the witness.
A large part of the evidence given on
cross examination was of such a ma
ture as to be absolutely unprintab BILE.
To some questions about his conduct
the reverend witness answered no, and
| to others he said he did not remember
Some of the pastors denials were posi-.
tive, others quite uncertain. and the
crowd was given to understand that the
developments to be introduced by the
defense would be astounding.
After the conclusion of the Rev. DR.
McLean's examination Mr.. Rush again
told the court his reasons for wanting
the preacher to bring his notes, into
court. To thie DR.. Mclean replied with
some warmth and argued that the ST.
torney for the defense had no right 10
demand notes of visits made to other
places, in many cases of which COM
plants have not yet been made out or
warrants issued, and to give them pub
licity now would be to give away certain
cases to the public before they are
ripe.
TO this Attorney Rush replied that
there was witness supposed to 3 i'm.
partial and unbiased, arguing his own
case before the court. I'VE have a
right to know" said he, Sin what condi-
ton of mind the witness was at the time
of his visit. If a small glass of beer can
upset some people what effect would a
whole string of beers-and hula-hula
dance-be upon this witness?"
The court would not then give any rul-
ing on the point, and the next witness
was called-J. p. Ross.
Mr. Ross testimony was in line with
that of DR.. Mclean. On November 27tn.
about a. m. he and his companions
went to Madam Vans; Went up stairs.
Knocked at the door and was admitted
by the madam, who ushered the party
into room to the left. There Were two
girls there when they arrived, and two
or three more came in later. DIR. Mt
Lean ordered the first round OF drinks
lie asked the girl for the beer and she
called the colored woman After drink
ing the beer the party went into a back
room where Dolly took up d collection
for another round of drinks. The
'darky' woman served the beer. The
party went again the next night, The
party comprised the same people as be-
fore, with the addition of Rev. Mr.. Ball
On cross examination Mr. Ross, who
is a theological student, said he Is
member of the Parkhurst society
though not as an officer. He thought
Rev. DR.. j. A. b. Wilson was president
of the society. On the occasion of the
first visit to Madam Vans witness was
accompanied by Rev. DR.. Mclean. a
man named Decker and man named
Wright. The party had a couple Of bot
ties of beer
Witness said the members of the party
paid all expenses out of their own pock-
cts but the Parkhurst society had since
repaid HIM what he expended
How long did you remain in the back
room?"
about an hour"
(which girl sat on your lap?"
"None of them"
How about the high Kicking business,
or did the dance come first asked Mr..
Rush.
II don't know whether the kicking or
dancing came first said Mr.. Ross.
You bet a dollar. didn't you, that
your girl could kick higher than the
other girl?"
Il believe So"
"Who held the stakes?"
DR.. Mclean. The other boys bet on
a girl they called 'Dutchy.'"
Then the witness described the kick
ing. Ryder, a tall young man, held the
hat because Dr. Mclean was not tail
enough. After the girls had kicked a.
the hat their accomplishments were so
equal that the 'judses'' called the con-
test draw and the money was returned
to the men, but was Immediately ex-
pended for beer, Dolly danced q minute
or two after the kicking. During the
rest of the time the party sat in chairs
and sofas listening to the girls telling
smutty stories.
Was any girl sitting on anyone's
lap?' the attorney asked.
"One girl was sitting In one mans lap
I think it was Mr Bell's lap"
Witness did not remember that he saw
any girl on Decker's lap
Are you married man, Mr.. Ross,
and live with your wife?"
Yes. sir'
do you mean to say that you, a mar
ried man, could go around to these
places and pay girls 10 see which could
kick the highest?''
To this the witness replied that he
could and did.
The attorney then, by skillful u11eS
