ing, abe would come around and talk;

Mrs. Verrance sitting there talking
and they were facing each other, one
right in front of the other, and doctor
lust throwing his hands out and shak-
ing his head demonstrating, and they
sat there and talked quite few min
utes, and after they had talked little
while, why, the doctor put his hand IN

put il in her purse.
Q-What happened after that? A
Then they sat and talked few mo-
ments, and then she got up, and as they
were facing each Other-they both
arose at the same time--she leaned for
ward and kissed him on the cheek; and
after she started for the door, |
knocked quickly on the window, and
went right around to the waiting room
door and knocked on the office door,
and / said, Doctor, let me in" and he
let me in Immediately. And ! walked
ND to Mrs. Vcrrance and | said, This
is pretty work for old married people
and a woman with grown children
and ! turned to the doctor, and as
did that | slapped Mrs. Verrance on
the cheek like that demonstrating,
and then | turned to the doctor and
said, This is the way your money goes,
is it?" We had had several talks dur
ing the winter. | don't mean to say

lending me this money, and | expect
to paw il back very soon" ! said, "

should give me the money back, and he
said, "If she wants il, give IL TO her"
And / told her il would suit me just
as well if she didn't come to the office
any more, and she asked the doctor,
Cannot | come any more?" And the
doctor said, mo; the house is hers.
and if she says so, you cannot come.
After she was gone the doctor was Verv
/ angry with mel want to tell you thai
and he gave me the most awful call
/ ing down l ever had in my life, and,
as | told you before, he said he did
| not have to stand for such work; that
! | would break up his practice, and that
/ he was not going to stand for it, and he
absolutely forbade me to go in there
when he had any one in there, and said
if ever did it again he would leave
home.
Q.-Now, when was the photograph
installed? Al think on the 18th Of
May.
Q.-The 18th Of May of this year
Ayes, the 10th Of May of this year.
Q=Why did you install dictO'
graph, Mrs. Carman? A.-The reason
why | installed it was because | was
suspicious of the doctor. On scores OF
occasions when we had been out to-
gether | have heard people say to hin
and ask him "How his girls WERE" anc
wished they had his opportunities, ant
say they wished they could stay out
ali night and say they had been Out
on business, and they would say, doc
YOU are some devil" i got sick ant
tired of it, and | commenced to be
lieve there was something in il. Ant
then | saw some of his patients, won
en- patients, coming quite regularly
and ! became suspicious and / deter
mined to find out for myself. | deter
mined that If there was anything in i
would not live with the doctor al
. man and wife. ! was not the crazy
Jealous woman that the newspaper
make out. reasoned this way. tina
ii | was going 10 take step as I'm
portant as this wanted to be might!
sure and not do it on hearsay and sus
piciOn.
So when I read about this though
il was the thing / wanted. so that
could find out what l wanted to know
: that the patients need not know, III,
doctor need not know unless | tolt
him, need not have any contidant
and there need not be any publicity.
Q.-When did you first hear about I
dictograph? Al don't remember, bu
read about il in the newspaper.
