Witness said on one occasion when
the doctor was at her home he asked
her how much insurance her mother
carried. She said $1,000 and Sam ask
ed if they could not fix UP a dose and
get her out Of the way to get the
money.
, Witness described a meeting she
| had with DR.. Hissom On one occasion
when they walked up to the Termi-
nal steel bridge and when they got
to the middle OF the bridge the wit
ness declared her companion tried to
| get her to go to a hotel in Martins
Ferry. While they were on the bridge
Miss Sandrock's uncle came up and
asked them what In the world are
you doing here?" The uncle said the
entire family wa out looking for her.
The plaintiff, she declared, forced her
to go to Bridgeport, where he tried to
get her into a hotel, but she refused
and then he struck her in the face.
She continued her story in a quick,
rapid tone of voice. The Doctor, she
said, would bring her home. She said
they walked out the pike and she COM
planned OF a headache.
Then the Doctor gave her a tablet
which made her head swim. Then
they came back to the Island and went
to the Doctors Office where they re-
manned until morning. The Doctor
had a revolver, she said, and threaten
ed to shoot anyone who touched her.
She said with emphasis that her life
had been spotless until Sam Hissom
came across her path. She described a
meeting later with the plaintiff when
he took her to a field and wanted her
to go and be married. She wanted to
come home and complained OF her
head. Then the Doctor gave her two
tablets and she lost all control of
herself and was lead as easily as a
child. He half carried, half supported
her and they went to a small station
in Ohio, the name of which the wit
ness had forgotten, and remained the
night. Next morning they went to
Massillon, then to Canton, and went
to Flushing, where the witness said
the Doctor ran short Of money and
came to Wheeling. He returned to
Flushing.
When they were at Flushing the wit
ness said she earnestly requested the
Doctor to marry her as he had always
talked of doing but he said he could
not do so on account of his father who
might disinherit him. The witness de-
clared in imprisoned tones that she
informed the Doctor that she did not
care for his money and that he was
nothing but a mean, low, contempta-
BILE man, anyhow. Miss Sandrock
gave her testimony with considerable
force at times. She needed no urging
and she talked rapidly for fully half
an hour. The plaintiff, she de-
clared ON several occasions In
the course of her testimony exhibited
a revolver and declared what he would
do if any man attempted to separate
them.
During the examination witness was
asked to look at a diary once owned
by her. She grew very much excited,
and tore the book apart.

ness said she went to DR.. Hissom's
office to be treated for catarrh, on bus
mess, and to ask him to visit her
mother.
