djtion of ,Mr. Terry's eyes at that time
The witness said today that he hae

months after that time, Mr.. Terry was
unable to count the fingers on hand
held within two feet of his face. Since
1895 he had attended Mr.. Terry from
four to 40 times month and during
the acute attacks of his trouble, Mr.
Terry was practically blind. AS each
of these attacks came on the doctor

lose his sight.

? said that he went to ride with Mr.
Terry in Mr.. Terry's automobile one
night and that Mr.. Terry drove the
automobile.

this point the district attorney insist
ing on a yes or no answer, While the
witness insisted in explaining.

ness said that, when he accepted the
invitation to ride with Mr.. Terry he
supposed that the chauffeur would
drive. When he learned that Mr.. Ter
ry was to drive he felt apprehensive

the invitation.
