Witness said that he had seen children
taken away from Mrs. Vaughan's
house, sometimes the next day after

heard Mrs. Vaughan address patients
in confinement very harshly. During

''No, sir
Mr.. Goodhart read from a book of
testimony giveh at the police hearing
and referring to questions and answers
there asked Mr.. Kegelmeyer if he
had said that. Judge Stoddard finally
called Mr.. Goodhart's attention to the
fact that the testimony he had been
reading from was that of Mrs Kegel-
meyer and not of Mr.. Kegelmeyer.
Mrs. Clarence Penny was next called
to the stand. She said that she was
thirty-two years old and the mother
of four children, that she had not lived
with her husband since November, 1898.
In 1894 she went to live at No so Stew
ems street. At that time she didn't
know where her husband was. After
moving there she learned that he was
at Mrs. Vaughan's. Her children
found that he was living there and
told her. She said that she had seen
her husband and Mrs. Vaughan to-
gether in the front upstairs bedroom of
Mrs. Vaughan's house.

relations of the man and woman"
Mr.. Goodhart-"What do the ques-

| Judge Stoddard-"Well if you don't
