"Ft.t I don't remombir thf datji when I got all of them." "Well, when did yi u get Ihe ne tli't'fred against Dr. Davidson In this variant?" "I got it tho Saturday before Ohrliimas."

In response to a quistlon th.t wit ness fitatod that his fpiner went with him' to Dr. Davidson's ofllce an-. hud him examine his son's Me. Tho boy's face was aflllcted with sores and he was not ablo to work. He had also been having chills. He return ed the next day and got a prescrip tion. It was for whiskey. The doc tor Instructed him to take quinine, with It. He did bo and It helped hl'n. "Did you ever get a prescription for yoijr father?" asked the attorney. The witness replied that he "got a quart for pa one time." They came up street together, but parted com pany, the youth proceeding to the doctor's office and getting the pre scription, while his father came on up town. The last occasion he made no pretense of boing sick, but tho doc tor felt his pulse and loikod at his tongue. Forthwith he wrote the prescription. The defendant's attorneys Introduc ed no evidence and did but llttlo ex amination of the prosecuting wltnee es. The State rested Its case here and Mr. Morrison at this point offered argument to tho effect that tho bond be made larger than usual In th in case, owing to the fact that there were several similar cases ug:ilnnt the same defendant and the court ought to make It to his interest to appear for trial. Tho deendant'a counsel, Messrs. Maxwell and Dlttle, opposed this, say ing that their client had not ben proven guilty of a single one of tho charges against him and tho usual bond of 200 was sufficient.. Recorder Bhannonhouse recalled young Roberts to, tho stand and elicited from him the facts that he had not been threatened by any police olllcf-r to testify In this case anil that he had not been promised anything by anybody to appear as a witness.' The bond was then fixed at 1200 In tha caso alleged In the warrant under which Dr. Davidson had been sum moned to court. Hut since the boy had sworn to having received two prescriptions from the physician at different times, ths recorder hnd an other warrant sworn out and Dr. Davidson was bound over In another case, tho bond being fixed at $200 in this also.
