the case was Immediately given to the
jury.
The Closing Testimony.
After his testimony DR.. Elan
showed signs of great nervousness
His composure as he took the stand
apparently had given away to agita-
ton. His hal.ds twitched constantly
and he played with his watch chain,
showing restlessness such as he had
hitherto not manifested throughout
the trial. When he left the court
room he was supported by friends.
Women Were Followed.
Glynn followed the women to Kan
sas City. DR.. Elan said he followed
the detective on a later train and met
him on the street in Kansas City.
Glynn then told him about the meet
ing between Cramer and the women.
The detective informed DR.. Elam the
party was at that time in a down town
cafe. DR.. Elan said he went to see q
physician after talking with the de-
tective and then returned to st. Jo-'
seph.
1t was IL o'clock the same night
that Mrs. Elan called her husband.
who had been sitting in his office, and
informed him that she had missed the
6 o'clock train home and asked him
to come over to Mrs. Rfley's house
and take her home. DR.. Elan said he
did not ask his wife about the meet
ing, merely inquiring about few in
consequential details.
Two days later, after brooding over
the incident Elam said he summoned
Mrs. Riley to his office. There he told
her he knew of the Kansas City meet
ing and asked her to give him more
details. DIR. Elam said Mrs. Riley was
reluctant to tell him anything, SO he
drove her home in his motor car
who was that w0mAn you were rid
ing with this afternoon?'' DR.. Elam tes-
titled his wife asked him. when he re-
turned to his Office. The physician
told his wife 1t was Mrs. Riley and that
he knew all about the meeting between
Cramer and the women in Kansas City.
Mrs. Elam Aenied It.
- Mrs. Elam denied the. meeting en-
tirely, DR.. Elam said. A month pass
ed and there had been no converse
ton between the Elams except with
reference to the Kansas City escapade
Finally. DR.. Elam said. Mrs. Elam told
him of the affair. She said she had
met Cramer in st. Louis. He had
smiled at her in cafe. When Mrs.
Elan arose and went to the desk to
get her room key, DR.. Elam asserted
his wife told him. Cramer followed
and observed the number of her room.
