against Thaw, and that she did not
buy a revolver or give her brother
money to buy one for her.

DR.. Charles F. Bingaman of Pitts
burg, the Thaw family physician, was
the next witness. He testified as to
Thaw's condition in November, 1903,
at which time he was very nervous
and melancholy and seemed much
changed from his former condition.

aman for the state in rebuttal and

in the form of a deposition. Delmas
objected, saying that testimony must
be taken in open court. Jerome asked
Bingaman to return mex Monday.
AS to Master of Profession.
DR.. B. d. Evans was then called for
cross-examination. Jerome examined
Evans as 10 what medical colleges he
had attended and then asked if he con
sidered himself master of his profess
sion. Evans replied he did not know
what he meant by master.
None Know It All.

of your profession?" asked Jerome.
IF you mean man who knows al
about it, there are none such in med
icine, law or any other science" re
