! criminal operation upon her. Miss Hill
was teacher In the Lowell school in
this city for about eight years, She
lived with Prof. Mckay and Wife. on
tho morning Of Dec. 20, 1902, at about
Q o'clock she left Prof. McKay's home
and started down town. She was seen
az the Dessret National bank corner at
about 1915 o'clock At about ll:l5 or
1880 she went into Auerbach's store
and made purchase of some goods. y
Mr. Ichnor here undertook to dis
play some Of the cheese cloth alleged
TO have been purchased by Miss Hill.
Tnc display Of the goods at this time
was objected TO by Atty, Wanless for
Tho reason that the same had not been
Identified az yet and was not In evil
dcrce The objection was sustained
by tho court
Mr. Eichnor then proceeded with his
statement; Miss Hin went into Auer-
bochs store at about ll'ij and pur-
chased some cheese-cloth which Is used
for surgical purposes
She then went 70 DR.. Payne's Office and
about 1915 o'clock Or. Payne locked up
his Office and went TO the police sta
ton and told the officers that a woman
had come ia his Office and was dying.
The officers went TO DR., Payne's Office
and found that Miss Hill was dead. Or,
Mayo performed an autopsy and found
that death was caused from a drug
given for the purpose OF performing
a criminal operation or from the cf-
fects Of the operation itself The eyi-
dence will show that she could not
have performed the operation herself,
We viii also show that when the ofli-
GERS arrived az the doctors Office they
found a case Of surgical instruments,
used particularly for such operations
at the foot Of the couch upon which
Miss Hin had expired
I'VE viii also show that the operation
must have been performed within two
hours prior 70 her leath. She was In
DR.. Paynes office about an hour &C.
cordiug to the doctors own statement
When the officers arrived her hat was
lying al the head Of the lounge and
her rubbers had been removed We will
show by convincing circumstances that
the operation must have been perform
ed by Dr. Payne. These are the facts
briefly stated which win be shown to
you, gentlemen, by the evidence In this
case
THE FIRST WITNESS.
Prof G. n. Mckay was the first wit
