those physicians be a general prnctltioner
and that another be a surgeon, ana 11 a
third Is appointed he be such physician as
your llonpr shall think proper.
The, Court, t m rather loath to cast a
reflection upon Doctor Krusen or Doctor
Stengel, ...
Mr. Gordon, His testimony Is not to a
fact, but only a professional opinion, No
body can bo cocksure.
It Is only we lawyers In our opinion ot
the law who think dogmatically, but no
physician should object tp having a con
sulting physician review his opinion or dif
fer from his opinion Ab 1 stated to your
Honor, Senator McNIchol said to me that
the doctor thought It would require at
least some time before he was able to ap
pear. I said, "Don't you think you might
come on Friday?" "Weil." he said, "may
be, Friday." That wis my conversation
with Senator McNIchol. Wo aro all human.
even Directors of rubllo Health and Char
ities, and he may be wrong In his guess
' that the excitement of thla courtroom would
be detrimental to Senator McNIchol, whose
poise and coolness aro known to all of us.
He Is suffering from no organic malady
as was stated. All the ordinary symptoms
are normal, the pulse, temperature, respira
tion. Doctor Krusen thinks that the ex
citement might hurt him. Well, subject-
Ivety, upon that subject, probablj' Senator
McNIchol could speaK; wun as mucn cor
talnty as Doctor Krusen. But, your Honor,
I think, ought to be further advised on a
subject so problematical as that.
Your honor, I desire to offer In evidence
the act ot Assembly of February 2. 18T.4
(P. L. 26), and 1 read In evidence the fol
lowing from that act of Assembly:
It shall be the Mayor's duty to be vigi
lant and actlvo In causing the laws nnd
ordinances of tho city to be duly executed,
for which purpose all policemen and
watchmen shall obey his orders and make
report tohlm, and acting under his or
ders, and he shall exercise constant
supervision and control over tho conduct
' of all subordinate officers, receiving and
examining all- complaints preferred
against them, and generally performing
' all such duties as may be prescribed by
, the laws and ordinances of the city and
of this Commonwealth.
I also deslrj to offer In evidence what
Is commonly known as the Bullitt bill, be
ing an act of Assembly approved the 9th
day of June, 1885, and I read In evidence
from the first section. Article II, section
one of that act, as follows:
It shall be the duty ot the Mayor to
cause the ordinances of the city ani
the laws of the State to be executed and
enforced, to perform such duties as may
be prescribed by law or ordinances, and
he shall be responsible for the good order
and the efficient government of the city.
From the same artlclo and section, I read
u follows:
The Mayor may, by written order, to be
transmitted to Select, Council, give- his
reasons therefore, for removing from of
fice any head of department, director or
other officer appointed by him.
I also read from tho same act, the Bul
litt bill, as follows:
Article II, Section 1. Each department
shall furnish to the Mayor or Councils.
or either branch of Councils, such Infor
mation as he or they may at any time
detennlne In relation to Its affairs.
And from the same act:
The Mayor shall have all the Jurisdic
tion and power ot a sitting magistrate
throughout the city.

COURT PICKS JURY
' OF PHYSICIANS TO
EXAMINE McNICHOL
THK COURT I request tho District At
torney and I say this without reflection
on the eminent physicians that have had
Mr. McNIchol In charge to send for Dr.
Ell wood Klrby, and hae him get In touch
with Dr. Charles Potts, of tho University,
and Dr. John B. Deaver, and they In urn
consult with the physicians of Senator Mc
NIchol and set a proper hour for the ex
amination. Mr. Beitler. Does your Honor have In
mind that Mr. Maloney testified that Doctor
Klrby was his phyBlelan?
The Court. I hope that he Is not
Mr. Beitler. He so testified, and testified
that Captain Tate had Doctor Klrby at
Maloney's office on Monday eventng, the
17th.
The Court. I had the Impression In my
mind that Doctor Da Costa was his phyBl
elan Mr. Gordon. That Is Carey.
The Court. Doctor Klrby Is too well
known to be influenced to do the wrong
thing, Mr. Belt'.er.
The Court In order that there may be
no suggestion ot partiality In a matter
of this giavo character, the District At
torney advises me that he represents Doc
tor Klrby, and as he Is physician for one
of the witnesses In this case. 1 will sub
stitute Dr. J. C. Wilson for Doctor Klrby.
I do this reluctantly, because I have very
great confidence In Doctor Klrby, for I
have called upon him many times for ad
vice In causes that have come before this
court,
Mr Gordon. Probably, may It please
your Honor, we all ought to mike a clean
breast on this occasion. I have repre
sented Dr. John B. Deaver and collected
fees from him. He also examined me once
when I thought I was threatened with ap
pendicitis, ana u was a ise alarm, lie
Is also a member of a Scotch-Irish society
of which I am. a member.
The Court. 1 do riot think that would be
a reflection upon Doctor Deaver.

liceman, was the next witness. He said he
was a. Carey supporter and had been a

when their poison has rendered us helpless?
Shall we be lulled to sleep by tying rumors circulated by the most
faithless Foreign Office God's bright sun ever shone upon, for the sole
purpose ojf delaying our war preparations?
Shall we fail a President who has called us out to "make the world
safe for democracy," because we are too stupid to see through the clumsy
machinations of our would-be seducers? '
Shall it be said that Yankee wits ate no match for German?
V
Or shall we make every sacrifice, utilize all our skill,. mobilize all our
power and strike this curse that has come-among us from the face of the '
earth that a just and lasting peace may bless bur descendants to the; end
of time7
