committed the crime for which he has
been indicted repeatedly and that II
she did not yield to his desires he
threatened 10 whip her with a buggy
whip. SHE said that he committed
the foul deed almost every night. She
told of one time that Mr.. and Mrs.
Brock we're away and that lie took
her to a barn.
In this story she was c%orroborated
By the evidence of Elizabeth Black TO
the extent that Mrs. Black knew that
the elder Brooks were away from
home and she asked Mfnta. to 60 with
her to her home for dinner on that
Sunday. Lloyd Brock objected and
would not permit the child to 60.
There was some question raised by
the counsel for the defense as to
whether the child was a competent
witness or not. Judge Mason asked a
few questions. The Court determined
that she was a competent witness.
The child is a delicate one and she
told her story amid sobs. She held a
handkerchief over her mouth and eyes
and seldom looked at the jury.
DR.. c. 0. Henry gave his evidence
in chief last evening but was not
cross examined until this morning.
DR., Henry stated that lie was called
to the local humane shelter to make
an examination Of the prosecuting
witness and that he and DR.. Jesse A.
.1amison had each made a separate ex.
animation Of the child. He said that
as a result Of his examination he was
satisfied that there was an abnormal
condition In the child.
This morning DR.. Henry was cross
examined by Attorney H. N. Ogden,
He kept close to the statements made
In his examination In chief. He found
no bruises, inflammation or wounds.
DR.. Jesse A. Jamison was then
called to the witness chair. He made
an examination of the child on the
same day that Dr.. Henry DID. His cyl.
dencc was corroborative Of Dr.. Henry.
He found an abnormal condition in the
child, but did not find any bruises.

that the conditions that he found
might have been caused by other
means than the crime charged against
