DIR. Brown Testifies.
These questions and answers
opened the testimony of DR.. e. M.
Brown, Tacoma physician and sur
geon, for the Bertha Diffley de-
Tense this morning. Other testi-
mony given by DR.. Brown tended
to discredit that of Drs. James
and Stewart for the state.
He said the fact that Clarence
Hall fell frequently, and always
to the left. would indicate that
the lad was suffering from a dis
eased condition of the brain, pos
sibly epilepsy.
He also declared that fall
from q trunk might easily result
in death. particularly IL the per-
sons head struck some object on
the floor.
Blood Impoverished.
A general weakened condition
OF the boys body would make
death come more easily, he said.
From reading the coroner's report
on the autopsy he added he
should judge Clarence was suffer-
ing from an impoverished condi-
ton Of the blood, which would
prevent anything other than q
slow healing of bruises.
Mrs. Diffley was first on the
witness stand this morning. She
admitted she had told Hall she
was sorry she had whipped Clar-
ence and has asked the fathers
forgiveness. She declared she
was In no fear of trouble until
neighbors became agitated and
told her they thought she would
be arrested and advised her to
get out of town.
