Itions.

fort of John c. Ray, assistant dis
trict attorney, to quiz DR.. David

whether certain amount of
'hocus-pokuS was not necessary
to prepare the Koch remedies for

an officer of the court"
You forget that I owe a duty
to my client" Gallagher replied.
After further heated discussion,
Ray phrased his question 10 imply
preparation of the Koch drugs

You accuse me of attempting
to influence the jury" Gallagher
injected THE government coun-

allergies
Defense attorneys sprang TO
their feet with objections to
ridiculous questions.
II don't think there Is much
distinction in the animal king

know anything about bears, doc
tori"
The witness replied:

said
Perhaps Mr.. Ray can tell u,
about the bear" Gallagher re-
marked
In response to questioning. DR..
Arnott said he did not know
whether a person fasting 30 or 40
days would have impaired oxida-

the injection ?" Ray asked, al
luding 10 testimony of washing
the patients arm before giving
the treatment.
The COW never was washed"
