Confusion ensued, Mr. Murphy and a number of Demo crats springing to thslr feet to take exception to the ruling of the Speak er.

DR. WEAVER BACK TRACKS. Asheville Physician Now Admits That He Was Mistaken in Saying That He Had Treated Mrs. Minor Morris Was Assured that Ills Former Letter Would be Considered Confi dential. Special to The Observer. Asheville. June 2. In view of the publication of his letter written to Msior Sylvester, of Washington, rela tive to tbe mental condition of Mrs. Minor Morris, and of the controversy that has raged in regara to tne let ter and his motives In -writing It Dr, H. B. Weaver, of this city, finally this afternoon decided to make a clean breast of the affair and a public statement In the course of his letter to Thom as S. Rollins, which was used In ex oneration of Barnes, Dr. Weaver said: "I deem It proper, under the circum stances, to stste frankly, as a phy sician, my knowledge of Mrs. Minor Morris from a medical stsndpoint" Dr. Weaver then says that Mrs. Mor ris came to Asheville, that be treated her and that she wss mentally un balanced. It was this psrt of ths letter that has been persistently de nied. Mrs. Morris stating that she never heard of Dr. Weaver and that she had never been In Asheville. Now Dr. Weaver admits that he was previously mlstsksn. "I was not," he said, "the one to make the ad vance, and when writing it supposed and was assured It would be respected as confidential. I was not consciously a party to any muck-raking perfom ance and I desire that to be clearly understood. In reply to the question of whether be had ever treated Mrs. Minor Mor rles, , hs stated that all he knew of the matter was that he had treated a Mrs. Morris, the wife of a physician. and a woman whom he believed, at the time of writing the letter to Ma jor' Sylvester, to be Mrs. Minor Mor ris. He was led to believe this by the simllsrtty of the names, the fact that both were wives of physlclsna, from the published descriptions of Mrs. Minor Morris and from the -pub lished accounts of - her eccentricity and general conduct "No sir." said Dr. Weaver In re sponse to a query, "I could not iden tify my patient of two or three years ago, should i now see ner. snouia Mrs. Minor Morris be shown ms I could not swear that I had ever treat ed her or that she was my former ps- tlent to whom I refer. I was led to entertain that belief at one time, but In view of the denial of Mrs. Morris and her husband that the lady was ev er to Asheville, I am not prepared to dispute their assertions."
