row that he might refresh his memory
from the stenographer's notes. This be-
ing refused him. he hurled several invec-
tive speeches at the counsel for the pros
ecution, who, when he had finished speak
in, said. with some warmth: Il am
not ashamed Of my position here. ] con-
slider II a privilege to expose the hypoc-
risy and uncleanness in this man."
Mrs. Or. J. j. Lloyd followed Sister
Sarah. and told of a conversation DR..
Jaeger had with her, I'm which he spoke
in an evil manner of every one con-
nected with the institution. The wit
ness, who had known Miss Wilmer for
several years, spoke in the very highest
manner of her.
THE BROTHER IN-LAW.
Rev. c. Z. Wilmer came next. He
said he was technically superintendent
of the institution, but, practically,
partner Of DR.. Jaeger, who is his brother
in-law, and whom he has known Tor
twenty years. He then told of matters
at the institution during the past year.
and how he was called home from New
York on account of the trouble the lady
teachers had with the accused. OF MS
sister Miss Lucy Page Wilmer, he SAID
she was truthful very intelligent, origi-
nal, and predominated, more by reason
than feeling and told of how. when he
arrived home, her face was black and
blue from blows struck by DIR. Jaeger.
During the cross-eXamination, upon
the president making some ruling rela-
tive TO it, Dir. Jaeger petulantly spoke
of the prosecution being cruel persecu-
ton. This made a member of the court
Indignantly exclaim: Il object TO i'm
proper imputations being made about
this court and will not have IT," while
members of the prosecuting committee
suggested that policeman be sent for
10 keep order, and put the accused out
Of the room if he did not behave himself.
1t took Or. Logan some few minutes
to restore order. and then to smooth
matters over, but he did it, and things
went on quietly until adjournment for
dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session the cross-ex-
animation of Mr. Wilmer was continued,
and the scenes of the morning were re-
newed with a dramatic color that even
exceeded that Of the morning. When at
one time with a question before the wit
ness as 10 his opinion on point in Miss
Winners written statement, the Court in
terrupted DR.. Jaeger, he exclaimed: MY
God my God; have mercy on me-" on
being quieted by the Court DR.. Jaeger con-
tinued his interrogation of the witness,
asking him numerous question as TO mat
tiers that had arisen in their relations.
The Doctors eXeitability was intense, ana
his lack of self-control kept him all the
time in hot water.
While DR.. Jaeger was questioning Mr..
Wilmer in regard 10 some matter, ana
was disregarding rules of procedure, DIR.
Logan arose, and stopping the speaker,
declared that unless DR.. Jaeger treated
the Court with more respect they would
adjourn, and. taking the papers with
them, endeavor to pass upon the matter
without DR.. Jaeger's presence.
"You have addressed me-" said DR.. Lo-
gan, 'in a manner that no man would
use towards another"
Have pity on my condition. am
poor. sick man." said DR.. Jaeger
III Is an outrage" said Mr.. Kuyk; ut
is an outrage. You have been treated
DIR. Jaeger. with a forbearance that you
would have received at the hands Of no
other court on earth. There must be
limit to endurance"
In the cross-eXamination Dr. Jaeger
dwelt upon ali phases OF the case, upon
the charges Of immortality. SANDER, etc
When the Doctor announced that he
had finished with the witness, Mr.. Scott
arose TO ask several questions. ms
principal interrogation was as TO what
had made Mr.. Wilmer change his opinion
of DR.. Jaeger, and what was his opinion
at present.
Dr. Jaeger objected TO the question,
and a long argument on the matter en-
sued. resulting in decision by the
Court that Mr.. Wilmer could NOT state
his opinion, but that he could relate the
facts leading to the same.
when told 10 proceed on the line
marked out by the Court, Mr.. Wilmer
said: II am glad that the Court mas re-
Iieved me of the necessity OF stating my
opinion of DIR. Jaeger now III the mat'er
