devoted, SO he testified yesterday, fully three
weeks to the work. The county commission
ers, estimating the Doctors Pathological serv-
ices on the same basis as they would that of

the Doctors bill down to $35 The doctor re-
FUSED to accept that sum.
Drs Park Richie, Fulton and REM testi-
ned In behalf Of DR.. Rothrock yesterday that
his expert services for the county in the Hull
case were worth from $500 to $780, DR.. n.
