He's as fine man as there is in
the State. He couldn't countenance
the stencil going up by DR.. Moon.
He's a fine doctor, and he treats 'em
while they're alive and not after
they're dead. What did he say? He
said there were one or two little
abrasions on her breast, and another
large bruise elsewhere, and that
none of them was sufficient to cause
death alone.
Then there was DR.. Herger, who
also has evidently changed his mind
since the bail hearing in June. In
this trial he said the amount Of
mercury taken from her kidney was
much smaller than in ordinary
cases of this kind, but last June he
testified it was about the usual
amount found.
