DEFENSE BEGINS.
Mark Wright Saw 1t.

The plaintiff was unable to bring 9TH
er witnesses at that time and by agree
ment was allowed to bring in later. De-
fense opened its case with DR.. A. l..
Wright of Carroll on the stand.
Thought it Sham.
Dr.Wright testified that he examined
patient Feb. s, 1899, at city's request.
Could find no evidence of injury. Re-
examined her OH Wednesday with Drs
Faircnild, Wright, of Denison, and
Boyle. Found only subjective evidences
of disease of any kind of disease. BY
this is meant that there were no ex
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1899-04-21

ternal evidences of neuritis or other
disease, in fact no symptoms save those
told by patient. Had noticed twitching
of fingers, but said they were voluntary,
done at the will of plaintiff. That when
her attention was diverted twitching
ceased. Members were not shrunken
as they would be in case Of neuritis.
Denied that alleged dislocation of the
shoulder joint could have been reduced
in manner described; said pulling arm
downward and forward would have in
creased dislocation. Thought any ap-
parent emaciation, etc., could be ac-
counted for by mental strain on plaint-
iff over pending litigation. In short he
gave his opinion that no INJURY existed
and no physical pain was felt by plant
iff. DIR. Wright was subjected to Sc
we're cross examination.
The Star Witness
The star witness for the defense was
called during the evening session Of
Thursday, in the person of DR.. FAR
child, of Clinton, state surgeon for the
G. u N. w. Ry. Said he had much ex-
perience in such cases, had examined
patient by measurements and other
wise, and was convinced that she was
not suffering from any injury or any
pain, save mental pain brought on by
pending litigation. DR.. Fairchild is
lecturer before Drake Medical College
and his testimony read like a text book.
1t was intensely interesting and very
telling. He described symptoms of neu-
ritis, said plaintiff did not have them
except subjectively. He measured the
muscles, which would have been wasted
in case of neuritis and found them
alike on right and left shoulders except
ono measure ement taken I inches below
shoulder. Said tremor was symptom
of neuritis, also fibril twitchings, found
neither in patient. Had observed move
ment of plaintiffs arm and fingers, and
was convinced they were purely volun-
tary. Movement was like fingers play
ing on piano keys whereas tremor pro-
duced by neuritis was short vibratory
motion and barely preceptible to naked
eye. 1t was his opinion that the pa
tient was shamming. Cross-examina-
tion brought out that it would be pos
sible to reduce dislocation alleged by
the process as described heretofore. 1t
was late when court adjourned. The
expert testimony was very explicit on
both sides and fatty contradictory. The
case re-opened at O'Clock this morn
ing.

To-Day's Session
DR. w T Wright Testifies

III. w -. WtlBHG. OI O0nlSOQ, Sal0
he was present and assisted at examina-
tion made on Wednesday. That he saw
no evidence Of injury or disease. Would
not swear that no neuritis existed.
Said he had seen plaintiff rub her
right arm and squeeze muscle without
making signs of pain.
Orlando Orem was called and his
testimony was in the nature of sur
prise, he
Furnished Sensation.
He testified that he was employed by
the city to watch the Mccarthy home
to see if he could discover any facts
showing that Miss Mccarthy was not
so ill as claimed. He said he made Is
trips to the house and on the evening
of April 6. he saw her standing near an
upstairs window, the shade not being
drawn. that she was dressed in her
night gown and was conabing her hair,
using both hands. Mr.. Orem was quite
positive and circumstantial.
j. q. aWygant was recalled to give
testimony in regard to distances.
Did Not Complain of Shoulder.
Mrs. A: d. Wilson re called, testified
that on evening of accident Miss Nc
Carthy came to Wilson house after ac-
cident, did not complain of shoulder.
said she picked up some tips which had
fallen when she fell.
Examination Superficial.
DR.. Boyle recalled, said examination
made by Wright of Carroll, Wright of
Denison and Fairchild was superficial.
that Wright of Carroll did not touch
plaintiff and Wright of Denison touch
ed her but once. Said it was impossi-
BILE for plaintiff to have used right hand
to comb her hair.
A Moving Scene.
The plaintiff was recalled and testi-
fed chiefly that she never used her
right arm or hand to comb her hair
since day following accident. During
her testimony she complained of faint
ness and window was opened. When
leaving the stand she appeared to be in
falntlng condition and she was car
rieo IRON Che court room in chair.
Iseminger swears again.
Or. lseminger testified that he did
not believe plaintiff to be shammine.
that pain was caused by injury. Said
he had never seen plaintiff manifest 40
great distress at her home as in the
court room. Said he accounted for
1 this by heat, bad ventilation, excite
ment and pain caused by injury. Said
: she could not have used arm to comb
: hair without great physical pain and
J. that II she did he was mistaken in the
a case.
8 The closing evidence was given in
y Immediately after dinner, and the at
torneys began their arguments in the
& case. '--~

ARLINGTONS
AN HONEST CLAIMANT.

The administrator of the estate of Har-
ry B. Williams, who was thought to be
dead, has deposited in court 81, 500 which
he got as indemnify from the Standard
Accident company for Williams's sup
posed death, and has asked to be dis.
charged. He believes that Williams Is
still alive. Last December Williams bought
trip accident policy at the New York
office of the Standard and was supposed
to have left on the Portland boat for
this city. An intimate friend stated that
he had fallen overbOat while seasick and
was drowned. The company compro.
missed for 81, 900. Mrs. Williams, mother
of the assured, who lives in New Jer-
sey, became convinced that her son is
still alive and that she was not therefore
entitled to tho money. Williams is thought
to be in Kansas now

ALL THE YEAR ROUND,
Canadian Minister of Public Works
and Harbor Commissioners Coming
TO Portland Today.

Yesterday morning representatives of
the Thomson line of steamers called upon
Mayor Randall and had q conversation
upon the subject of an all the year round
steamer line to Portland. The visitors
desired to ascertain the feeling of citizens
in the matter and they made inquiries
about several matters in connection with
the proposed plan. If the steamers come
here during the summer 1t will be a
direct advantage to the city. The Grand
Trunk people will use their influence to
bring it about, for 1t will give them an
opportunity to use the elevator and big
freight yards, when otherwise they would
be lying idle. The steamship compan y
would be gamer in that 1t would have u
permanent contract with the GrandTfunk
and would not then, as now, tie obliged
to renew the contract every fall.
The Montreal harbor commissioners,
together with the Canadian minister Of
public works, left that city for Portland
last night and will arrive this morning.
There are fourteen III the party. Land
lord Nunns OF the Falmouth. received u
despatch yesterday afternoon asking him
to reserve rooms for the entire delegation
and during their stay in Portland they
will make the Falmouth their head.
