base their charges against Cross.
At the close of McMullin's address
the defense announced that they
would reserve their opening stale
ment until the prosecution had of
fered its evidence.
The first witness was then called
for the prosecution. Johnson. He
told of having visited Cross office

for a serious eye trouble He said
that Cross fitted her with lenses al
various times as her sight improved
and, gave her some liquid preparation
for eyewash. He admitted that she

Everything went smoothly until
the examination of John Nolan by
the prosecution. In answer to a ques-
tion he declared that he believed that
II one man could relieve another's
sufferings the regular medical pro-
fession should not interfere. This
provoked a challenge for cause by
McClintock which was resisted by
Judge Wheeler After much argu-
ment and requestioning the challenge
was not allowed by the court but
Nolan was later excused on preemp-
tory challenge. Five others were ex-
