I He proceeded to show how their ap-
plication might be made to kill the liv-
ing foetus and cause it's expulsion, and.
after repeating some of HE previou tes-
timony, based on his observations made
at the autopsy, regarding the state of
the appendix vermiformus and the fall

Have you then treated women for

simulated surprise.

"Then honors are easy on both women
and horses. aren't they?" said Mr.. Gage
Now please answer my question, it
is a respectful one. Have you treated
horses down in San Bernardino county?"
mo, sir" was the reply, given with
emphasis.
Being asked why he had failed at the
preliminary examination to mention
that he found at the autopsy that a
portion of the appendix was concealed
and had just mentioned it for the first
time few minutes before, witness con-
ceded that at the preliminary examina q.
ton he had not said anything, without
being a BILE to give any very good reason
why mis- memory should serve him go
much better months after the matter
had passed.
Did not ask you in the court below 2"
queried Mr. Gage, "the following ques-
ton: Did you find advanced periton-
tits in this subject?' and you answered
yee, sir?"
After a glance at the transcript wit
ness conceded that he had so answered.
May not all the instruments you
have seen here be used for innocent.
purposes and not for abortive pur-
poses" inquired counsel, reverting to
the main question.
Certainly they may be so used" was
the response.
Then there's nothing particular
about finding them in a doctors office,
is there?"
well, they're strongly indicative"
Just tell us, then, what there is indi-
cative about a speculum?"
"Oh nothing; they're in common use,
but the electrodes of that character are
different"
HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS
To the persistent Interrogation of
counsel witness finally conceded that
he had never seen such electrodes used
for criminal purpose, and also that
there are many diseases of the lower
internal abdominal regions which would
require the application of electricity
Continuing he stated that he thought
| that a mild FaraGic current might be
applied to prevent abortion, but he did
not think galvanic current could BE-
so used. Mr.. Gage put Hypothetical

point of the medical men who made the
autopsy, and also, in some measure, Oh
cross-examination from Hypothetical
standpoints assumed for the purpose OF
discrediting the memory the observa-
tion, or the differences drawn by the wit
ness. Such testimony is rather dry and
as a rule, wearisome by reason of tech
cal nature of the examination, and the
repetition, but the curiosity seekers in
Judge Smiths court room don't think So
From early morning until the time OF
adjournment at night each one appears
as If riveted to his or her seat. There
are some even who refuse to run any
chances of losing good seat by going
outside for luncheon, and so they bring
their lunches with them.
DIED FROM HEART FAILURE
Upon the trial of the case being re-
eumed yesterday Detective Bradsh re-
eumed his seat upon the witness stand
and proceeded to continue the narration
he began on Thursday afternoon. Re-
ferring to the evening of February 5th.
when witness, Detective Auble and Mr.
Hattery went to los North Spring street,
witness continued to tell what there
transpired. He stated that DR." Hast
Ings told him that the girl Lillian came
to his place just week ago the day pre-
vious, at about to 8 o'clock in the aft
ernoon. She refused to give any name
and was known during her stay simply
as "Lil." She wrote three times during
the stay. the first one being dispatched
the day after her arrival by a messen-
ger boy. The doctor happened to see
ar oddreSc-Mrc LNra
mont avenue-and he showed the wit
ness where he had made a rough note
of it in his book Lillian represented that
she had slipped on the sidewalk and
sprained her ankle and hurt her head
Occasionally she became flighty, and
the doctor confessed that he gave her
electric treatment at different times.
Both the doctor and Mrs Weaver stated
that the girl was up and around almost
every day, but the day previous she had
been put out in the front room. About
o'clock she complained of her head and
the doctor gave her a treatment ami
then told her she would have to go into
one of the other rooms, which she re-
fused to do. He then told her he would
have to carry her in his arms, and she
threw UP her hands to her breast, ex-
SAoAhihS' Cll, lily anu IGIl Ddck.
The doctor stated that he and Mrs
Weaver, with another patient, worked
over Lillian for about an hour, but could
not restore her.
Witness stated that in answer to the
direct query is to whether he knew that
Lillian was enciente he replied that he
did not know it; that she had said moth
Ing to him, and that the day before she
had displayed the normal symptoms of
such thing not being the case.
Continuing, Detective Bradish told
how on the 18th of February he again
went to the Hastings place, about (
o'clock in the afternoon. Officer Fowler
went with him. and at that time the de-
fendant was placed under arrest They
. fret made Inquiries for another missing
girl. but no further converse ton took
place regarding Lillian Hattery. They

confessed that such treatment might
be proper. and the physician had to
Judge of that fact at the bedside.
"But the physician is not an insurance
company, is he?" Queried counsel.
mo, SIR"
"Then, IL he made mistake. would he
be liable for malpractice?"
This question really required no an
swer.
To take away from some Of witness
concessions, the district attorney in
terrogated DR.. Thompson regarding the
usual practice with regard to the ad-
ministration Of electricity in the cases
previously referred to, and then he was
excused.
DR.. Campbell was recalled for q few
moments, and the defense contrived to
elicit from him the fact that he would
not venture, in holding an autopsy OIL
a subject such as Lillian Hattery, to dis
tinguish between peritonitis set up by
a diseased appendix and the same dis
ease resulting from puerperal septi-
caemia.
Detective Fowler was the last witness
examined yesterday, and gave testi-
mony corrorborating that Of Detective
Bradish but going very far beyond it.
He was upon the stand when court ad-
journed.

Rock Creek People in Court

There is one thing that doubtless will
be d comfort to the people who take de-
light these days in thronging the court
loom to listen to the testimony in the
Hastings case, and that is that the trial
is not being rushed at all. The defense is
not missing any opportunity to put each
successive witness upon the rack and
extort every bit of evidence that may
serve their cause or, failing that, in
validate some of the points scored by
the prosecution.
The facts In the case are simple and
nasty. These, in themselves, have not
taken long in telling. but inasmuch as
the guilt or innocence of the defendant
must be determined by the medical tes-
timony. the facts themselves are being
reiterated as viewed from the stand

did you show the doctor the instru-

Nice dinner Tor d hungry man to sit down
to- I'm so glad didn t dine at the clubl''
1t was a dinner fit for any man to sit
down to, but Mrs. Bowser realized that
she would only make the matter worse by
argument and therefore held her peace,
or rather sought to change the CONVERSE
ton by telling him of a street car accident
she had witnessed that day.

ished. 1.-THE motorlnan had probably been
eating one of your Salads and that's the
reason he bumped into the wagon. The
wonder is that he did not run over half a
dozen people"
Mrs Bowser had intended to ask him to
take her to the theater that evening, but
seeing how ftoff'' he was she gave it up,
and on returning to the sitting room sat
down to book, while he picked up his
newspaper. Mr. Bowser didn't mean to
give it up that way, however, and after
glancing over the paper he suddenly de-
manded:
"Mrs Bowser, is this a'house or a wig
wam?''
'Why, what do you mean?"
"Just what said. If it's house, then
we need a housekeeper. If it's wigwan,
or a hole in the ground, or an Eskimo hut,
then you are running it bang up. Last
night, Mrs Bowser, last night when /
went to put on my nightshirt it was not
to be found. presume it had gone down
to the cook, to be used as a mop or per-
haps you had flung it out of the window
for the children to play horse with. An
Eskimo or Digger Indian might put up
with such things, but I can't get used to
em. Can you spare the time to tell me
where that nightshirt went to?''

pillow, and found it there this morning"
she replied.
He knew it as well as she did, as be saw
it when he got up. The fact was he was in
a hurry to get to bed and forgot to change,
why not her?

ed about the yard. The cook doesn't care,
as she can find another place, but if you
had any care for our financial future you
would have an eye out for such things. I

for 10 cents, and the girl is not careful

one of them has been lost up to date.
Mr. Bowser didn't know whether he had
the best or the worst of that argument,
but as his object was to pass a very pleas
ant evening, he searched about for some
thing else TO find fault with, and soon dis
covered it. Said he:
