Davis to force him to give q yes or no
to this general question, testified that he
could not remember who had admitted
him on the occasions of his seven visits
to Dr. Kemp's ONCE.

DR.. Kemp at his Office. II I am not
| mistaken. he had on overalls or some
thing of that sort.

Kemp. you withdrew from this man.
A. Sure. No one heard any of our
conversations.

mony Of Messrs. McCann and Bellinger
as to their first call upon DR.. Kemp.
Mr.. Davis asked:

drawn to the fact that peddlers were
selling 1t around town?
A. I worked for a newspaper and was
around quite a good deal.
Q. What rumor did you hear that iden-
tilted this peddler to you?
A. have no idea; where I first met
him do not know.
Q. My dear sir. I want to know il you
can't tell me where nd when You first
met him. You can't tell when you first
met him?

@. Mr.. McConn, is there any instance
that you can relate of some of your pur-
chases that will enable US to place this

him?

@. After you left the hospital and

Dealings with Peddler.
Mr.. Davis then questioned the wit
| ness as to his dealings with the ped
dler from whom. Mccain had testified
he had purchased the drug on several
occasions. Mccain testified that he
could not say as to when. following his
discharge from the hospital. he first
had purchased the drug from the ped
dler. or under what circumstances.
From this point on Mr.. Davis led
up gradually to his big climax. an at
tempt to pin the witness down to Civ
ing the name of the person from whom
! besides the peddler. he obtained the
drug. Arrived at this point the wit
ness took refuge in his constitutional
right to refrain from answering on the
grounds that his answer would tend
to incriminatc him in a violation Of
the law. In this stand the court ul-
timately sustained the witness. and
blocked further questioning along this
