OILS it not true that the immedi-
ate cause of your closing up the Office

at daylight in the morning she was

shoot him. and that then you went

The defense here said 1t would
make an offer to prove, and the Court
said it would not undertake to say it
would exclude all the instances when
offered, but he did not think the par
ticular instance before him was adj
missable.
The defense then made a formal Of
fer to show that a short time before
his arrest and some time after his re-
lease witness drew a revolver on and
threatened to kill a number of per-
sons, among them Oscar Sandrock, his
wife, Mrs. Sandrock; her daughter,
Annie Sandrock; his own brother,
Written Hissom; his sitter, Mrs. Hub
bard; his mother, Lucy Hissom, and
his father. J. R. Hissom; that he
struck and beat. in his w fathers
house, a young lady who had called
there to see him; that he was fire.
quently in a great passion-very much
excited-and dangerously violent on a
number of instances, and that all of
these things were known to his father
at the time of his arrest, except the
occasions after his release. (Objec-
tion.)
The Court will not undertake to
say now that the motion will be sus-
tanned. Some of this may be admiss-
able, and I will pass on each occasion.
Mr.. Howard (continuing)-We will
offer to begin by the assault on Oscar
Sandrock. We now want to make a
broader offer, that the physician lost
his practice and closed up his Office
by it being generally known in the
neighborhood that he frequently had
women in his Office late at night and
all night for improper purposes; that
upon one occasion he took a young
m to his Office at / a. m, having
met her at a railroad station; that he
went with her to the top" mill,
across the Terminal bridge, thence to
Bridgeport, then out the pike, then
back to Bridgeport, over the bridge
across to the Island, reaching his Office
about / a. m, took her into the Office,
and kept her there until 5 a. M; that
in the meantime her parents were
searching for her, and had several po-
lice officers engaged in the search,
causing considerable excitement on the
Island among the neighbors and ac-
quaintances of the plaintiff, and that
she was found at his Office at 5 a. m.
by the girls father, on whom plain
tiff drew a revolver and threat mel to
kill him. (Objection.) And that while
on the Terminal bridge. on the trip
described with the girl in question, he
showed her his revolver and threaten
ed to kill her unless she accompanied
him, and that while there a nan nam
ed Beck-a brother-in-law of the girl,
followed them there. and this wit
ness warned Beck to go away, and said
that if Beck had not gone he would
have killed him; and that a few days
after that this witness went away to
Ohio with the same girl; that he was
with her at Massillon, at Scio. at
Cleveland and Flushing. O., and left
her at Flushing and came to Wheel
ing and called on Theodore Fink, a
real estate agent, and a number of
others, and asked them to note par
ticularly the fact that he was in
Wheeling at that time, saying to them
he was fixing evidence by which he
expected to prove, when called upon,
that he was not away from Wheeling
at the time, and having provided for
