others by plaintiff, IL is difficult tc
give credence to plaintiffs story Of de-
PENDANTS brutality We will refer ia
such correspondence later. At this
time we will refer to some OF the other
impeaching evidence. Regarding the
incidents which took place on the

or not" and she further says, "Of
course felt very much worried and
nlled with anxiety, and felt very much
neglected just then" She positively

that defendant was down writing a
letter but Major Darling testified: we
went on board and found Mrs. Rind-
laub on the upper deck !" and .
asked her where the doctor was. She
says, He Is below writing some letters

few minutes and be up on deck -"

boat pulled out. We stood on the end
OF the dock as the boat pulled
out into the stream and Mrs. Rindlaub
and the doctor were up on deck and
waived their hands to us: I saw them
there"
