he maintained two Offices. He acknowl-
edged he received the Compton" letter

sarily excited and that he had advised
bringing the young woman on merely for
examination and proper treatment.
Or. Kemp acknowledged that Honvery
called at his Office but denied tho dam
aging statements made by him He said
that he had recommended four or five
places to Horvery as good board ng
houses. but that was all. Ills absence
from the ONCE while Honvery was there
was explained on the ground of a pro-
