yesterday that she would be put
on the stand in her own behalf,
and the announcement of this de-
cisicn brought the frenzied crowd
of spectators to the court house.
When Mrs. Doxey took the
stand she told pitiful story at
the influence morphine had on
her life. She admitted that SHE
had become victim Of the dug
and that DR.. Doxey. her husband,
gave her morphine constantly. /.
