said: Then. let me rub it, and per-
haps that will pass away, too She ask
ed where the doctor was and replied:
In the next room. Shall call him 2
She said: Yes and stepped to the
door and called Dr. Hastings and he
came in at once. Lillian rolled her eyes
up as II In spasm, and the 'dorctor'
said: This won't do; you'll have to go
into the next room. It's too noisy here.
He told me to wrap her in the blanket, so
that he could carry her. He then lifted
her, but had scarcely raieed her before
she put her hands on her heart and fell
quite limp. The doctor replaced her at
once on the cot, and for fully an hour We
worked over her, rubbing her with hot
brandy. The electrician came in, and
nearly an hour after Mrs. Weaver came
in Alice Horton came in for a moment
or two, but the doctor was not presen mt
then At no time did the doctor wash
the body internally, SO far as l know,
and I was there all the time Alice Horton
was there, and after. When Alice Hor-

know that she was in the building. I
said: Why, where have you come
from?' and she said: I've been lying
down in the north room.' then asked
hor what ha nj -bo
replied: I'm going off hone' :"
On cross examination witness would
not positively state that another gown
had not been put ON Lillian Hattery be-
fore her body was taken to the morgue,
but SHE thought not. The body was re-
moved to another cot in the same room,
and. so far as she knew, no change was
made. She was in and out all the time
until the body was removed.
On redirect examination Mrs. Van
Ness stated that Mrs. Weaver never said
TO Detective Fowler when she took the
envelope from the drawer in the safe
that she thought the envelope had been
lost. Furthermore, she herself took the
envelope from the drawer, and not the
detective. Miss Hammond, recalled
also corroboTated these latter facts, she
also having been present at the time
of the conversation between Fowler and
Mrs. Weaver.
