DR.. McSwccnCy WAS called ANA gave her
medicine The following day he recon-
mended That an operation be performed

that Mrs. Cosgriff was not we'll when she
returned home, that on January - she
was examined by another ply stefan and
that on January 30 two physicians were
called, their verdict being that she had
been operated upon for a disease from
which she had not been suffering.

for the defense. He said that the d, fcn-
dant would show that Mrs Cosgrn did

ter Mrs. Cosgriff's return home Mr. Cos
Rrif suddenly acquired a bitter hatred
