been destroyed. Mrs. Weaver told wit
ness at that time that she had written
the name and address on the envelope
herself. She said the envelope had con-
tanned SIS, all the money Lillian had
when she came to the place for treat
ment. On the afternoon following.
about o'clock, the officer again visited
DR.. Hastings office. Miss Horton and
Mrs. Weaver We're the only persons
there. During a private conversation
with Mrs. Weaver she repeated the story
told at the inquest about Lillian's ar
rival at DR.. Hastings office She said
Lillian had taken one treatment on Fri
day and one on Saturday at Sl.25 each;
after that she was charged S. day until
her death. Lillian asked her to give the
SIS to DR.. Hastings, and that she would
get more shortly from a party. Mrs.

Lillian for her ankle and head.
The officer paid another visit TO the
doctors den on the Sth. and found both
DR.. Hastings and Mrs. Weaver there.
The doctor showed witness his books
and explained about treatments. Books
were then shown to court and recog-
nized by witness.

to leave the room.
DR.. Hastings showed him In the book
the entry concerning Lillian Hattery,
who was designated as No. 49," also
the daily charges for treatment, which
amounted to $32 30. The doctor told him
that the number on the gowns indicated
the persons who came there for treat
ment and wore them. The reason num-
bers were used instead of names was
because the lady patients did not wish
their names to appear. The prosecu-
tion then endeavored to get the witness
to state the average number of treat
ments given daily by the doctor, as
taken from the book, but Attorney Gage
objected so strenuously that the court
sustained his technical point and ad-
journed to dinner, with the understand
ing that the witness go over the book
accounts referred to in the meantime.
