Damaging Testimony.


When she was examined today she
told the same story as she did before
the grand jury. when she made Il
clean breast of the details. She de
clared not only that the defendant
performed an operation To secure an
abortion. but that she solicited the
opportunity to do so in order to allay
fear as to the outcome, and the wit
ness claimed that she cited another
case in which the operation had TAX
en- place and the facts had been sup
pressed. The testimony tended to
show that the defendant made Il prac-
tice of that sort of thing and that she
charged a regular fee of $25.
