Eighteen<lb />witnesses were examined, among them<lb />Hugh Beil, brother of Uriah and Sher-<lb />rill, but his testimony did not amount<lb />to anything. All the evidence intro-<lb />duced was an effort to prove an alibi for<lb />the Bell boys. Several character wit-<lb />nesses were put on the stand who said<lb /><lb />that Uriah and Sherrill had good char-<lb />acters and nothing had ever been<lb />brought against them before. ~There<lb />was much in the evidence about what<lb />transpired the Sunday night following<lb />the murder and Thursday night of the<lb />week before the murder brought out in<lb />the effort to prove that Uriah was not<lb />present when the gang was conferring<lb />on Thursday night, and that he did not<lb />give Credle the store key on Sunday<lb />night. |<lb /><lb />Both sides are claiming that the oth-<lb />er side has failed to make out its case.<lb />Counsel for the defense say they have<lb />introduced good evidence of an alibi<lb />while the State thinks differently, and<lb />counsel for the State believe they have<lb />introduced evidence sutiicient to convict<lb />«| while the defense believes the contrary<lb />to be true.<lb /><lb />One of the witnesses for the Bells, C.<lb />C.

With aviewof<lb />~earning whetker there were many<lb />such cases on record, I secured the<lb />views of a surgeon whose practice<lb />for the past 25 years has been large-<lb />ly confined to women. He read the<lb />briof article before making any com-<lb />ment. Then, as he returned the pa-<lb />per, ho Said: oNo, I have never<lb />known of death caused by the opera.<lb />tion before this one in The Herald.<lb />But I have seen a great many cased<lb />of agony and suffering, And I have<lb />never seen the operation done prop-<lb />erly by mothers or jewelers. In the<lb />first place, the ears are never, ex-<lb />cept by chance, pierced so that the<lb />earrings will hang or be held prop-<lb />arly. One runs in and the other out,<lb />asarule. One is often higher than<lb />the other. The lobe is pierced too<lb />high up or too low down. One hole<lb />is nearer the face than the other.<lb /><lb />oThe danger of blood poisoning is<lb />not to be ignored as of no account<lb />because the operation is supposedly<lb />not a dangerous one. There is noth-<lb />ing right about this home surgery.<lb />The cleanest person, when it comes<lb />4o asurgical operation, is, without<lb />proper scientific laving, medically<lb />unclean. if you could but know the<lb />extreme cautions that are taken in<lb />all well conducted hospitals! The<lb />operating surgeon will not allow any<lb />one to hand him a towel even, if<lb />such a one has not antiseptically<lb />prepared his hands to act as an as.<lb />sistant. All the instruments to be<lb />used have been cleansed. A woman<lb />takes a needle, any needle, and<lb />threads it with any thread. This<lb />thread may have been in her work<lb />basket months and months, lying<lb /><lb />next to otber spools of all eclors, |<lb /><lb />She woulki not think of wasirine hier<lb />own hands cr washing the ea to be<lb />penese A cork is taken out ¢¢<lb />pottie, any bottle, without iuuuyht<lb />as to what is in the bottle or how<lb />long the cork has been exposed to<lb />the dust. This cork is placed under<lb />the lobo of the ear for the needle to<lb />strike against when it comes<lb />through. Inflammation and suppura.<lb />tion naturally result.<lb /><lb />~ooThave always insisted that the<lb />operation should be done by a sur.<lb />geon, and by one who will take the<lb />trouble to do if properly.�T<lb /><lb />oBut would not so slight an oper-<lb />ation be beneath the notice of a sur-<lb />geon, doctor?�T<lb /><lb />~No; the rich can command these,<lb />and the poor could have it done at<lb />hospitals.� |<lb /><lb />oHow about avearing earrings any-<lb />way? Are not earrings a relio of<lb />both barbarism and ancient Biblical<lb />slavery?�<lb /><lb />ooTdo not think that women should<lb />wear earrings. Butso long as they<lb />will do it the ears should be proper-<lb />ly treated, so that the rings will<lb />hang gracefully and both alike. And,<lb />more important still, the danger<lb />should also be avoided. Wash the<lb />lobe of the ear with a disinfectant.<lb />Make it surgically clean. Uso a cut.<lb />ting needle. Pass it through the cen-<lb />ter of the lobe, and at right angles<lb />to it.

Abouta mile from the meet-<lb />in house I had ter ford the fork, an<lb />the water wuz purty deep that morn-<lb />in, but the mule knowed the way,<lb />an I jisT let him have his head. An,<lb />by gum, he done it, fer when he<lb />got ter the deepest place he stopped<lb />squatT in the crick, tucked his head,<lb />hTisted his heels an sent me kitin<lb />over his years inter the water whar<lb />it wuz four feet deep ef it wuza<lb />inch, an soused me clean outen<lb />sight.�T<lb /><lb />oDid he run away?TT I asked as<lb />the mountaineer paused a moment<lb />to think over it.<lb /><lb />oNary arun,TT he said. ~~WhenI<lb />come up, sneezin an a-snortin, he<lb />wuz waitin thar fer me ez quiet ez<lb />yer granTmammy, an I got on an rid<lb />out.
