THE SALT LAKE HERALD, TUESDAY. OCTOBER y. 1885,

was not drunk. After Eveline died DR..
Mccoy telephoned to witness wife at
Provo that she was dead. It was net
a fact that witness was so drunk they
would not allow him to teleph ma.
Miss Clara Pope, examined by Mr..
Whittemore, said she knew EVelyne
Bennett. On February Is she was at
witness house, IS West Third South
street. Miss Eonnett was pregnant
then. Witness asked Miss Bennett
how she was, and she said she never
felt better in her life. Witness never
spoke to her afterwards, but saw her
two days later across the street. She
appeared pale and looked sickly then.
She wore a black dress, which might
to some extent account for her looking
pale.
MRS. SPRECKLER.
Mrs. Antonio Spreckler knew Miss
Bonnet at Provo. About February 10
she came to witness house with Car
ter, and that day Carter, Miss Bon
nett, Sim Duggins and witness came
to Salt Lake on the same train. Wit
ness thought Miss Bennett looked pale
then. They got into street car to-
gether at the depot. Miss Bennett sat
beside witness and Duggins and Car
ter sat together. Miss Bennett got off
the car at the White House corner and
went up Main street with Carter and
Duggins, and that was the last wit
ness saw of her.
DIR. MOVES OPINION.
DR.. Noyes of Provo testified that he
did not know Miss Bennett in her
life time, but knew there was a fam
lily OF that name living in Provo. On
March 80 was called by Mr.. Duggins
to attend to Miss Bennett, and came
up from Provo to Mrs. Massie's house
in this city to see the girl. Found
Miss Bennett in great pain and with
high temperature, quick respiration and
somewhat bloated. She begged witness
to give her something to alleviate the
pain, but he did not want to interfere
with another physicians patient, and
sent for Mccoy. Witness asked Nc
Coy if he was a graduate, and he re-
piled that he was not, but had passed
the board examination, and was prac-
ticing on that certificate. Mccoy told
witness that somebody had been at
tending the girl in Provo, and that she
was suffering from displacement of the
womb and other ailments. He said
he feared she had been doing some
thing wrong. Witness made an exam
ination and came to the conclusion
that there was little hope for her re-
covery. He employed proper means
to relieve her and gave her medicine
to alleviate the pain. Witness was OF
the opinion that an abortion had been
performed. She was unconscious at in
tervals, and when asked to make an
ante-mortem statement did not APPEAR
to realize what was meant and made
no statement.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Wood, wit
ness remembered DR.. Mccoy asking
Evelyynes brother to step out of thu
room while they were treating her.
She mentioned DR.. Hicks name once
or twice.
MRS. SMITH HEARD SCREAMS.
Mrs. Betty Smith said she lived in
Ontario court. In February, this year,
lived on Second South, in the same
building as DR.. Mccoy had his office.
On February %, 90 and "a saw
young girl going to McCoy's office
Witness did not know the girls name,
but when shown a photograph of Miss
Bennett identified it as being that of
the girl she saw going to the Doctors
Office. Each of the three days witness
heard the girl scream while she was in
the doctors Office. Mccoy spoke to wit
ness after the trouble began, and said:
you have been watching my pa
tent" Witness said she had not, but
that she heard her scream. The doc
tor said he was pulling teeth for her.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Edwards,
witness said she was unwilling to be-
come a witness in this case, and sent
for Mccoy and told him If he would
pay her expenses she would leave
town. Mccoy said he had no money,
and also told her that if she attempted
to leave town he would have her
brought back.
Adolph Smith, son of the previous
witness, saw a girl leave McCoy's
office on February %, and heard her
scream while she was in the Office.
Didn't see the girls face and didn't
know who she was.
At this. point an adjournment was
taken until Wednesday morning to
allow the prosecution to get witness
here from Park City.
