ied that you saw Dr. Medjora
administer the hypodermic. Are we to understand that you saw Dr.
Medjora dissolve the tablets, fill the syringe, push the needle under
the skin, press the piston so that the contents were discharged, and
then remove the instrument?"

"No, sir. I did not see all that."

"Well, what did you see?"

"I saw him taking the syringe out of Miss Sloane's arm. Then he
cleaned it and put it in his pocket, after putting it in a case."

"Oh! You did not see him push the syringe in, you only saw him take it
out. Then how do you know that he did make the injection, if one was
made at all?"

"Why, he must have. I saw him take out the syringe, and there was no
one else who could have done it."

"Then you saw him put the syringe in a case, and place the case in his
pocket, I think you said?"

"Yes, sir."

"What sort of case was it?"

"A metal case!"

"Was it a case like this?" Mr. Bliss handed her an aluminum hypodermic
case, which she examined, and then said:

"It looked like this." The case was then marked as an exhibit for the
defence.

"In what position was Miss Sloane when you saw the Doctor leaning over
her?"

"She was lying across the bed, with her head in a pillow. She was
crying softly!"

"I think you said that this occurred at half-past eight o'clock?"

"Yes, sir. About that time."

"At what hour did Miss Sloane die?"

"At eleven thirty!"

"That is to say, three hours after you supposed that you saw Dr.
Medjora make the injection."

"Yes, sir!"

"Did you leave the room again during that time?"

"No, sir."

"Not even to get the coffee which Dr. Meredith had ordered?"

"No, sir. I made that on the gas-stove in the room."

"Well, then, during that last three hours did you, or any one else, in
your presence, inject, or administer morphine in any form to Miss
Sloane?"

"No, sir; positively not."

"Such a thing could not have occurred without your knowledge?"

"No, sir."

"Now, your Honor," said Mr. Bliss, "I would like to ask the
prosecution whether this is the only witness upon whom they depend to
prove the hypothesis that morphine was administered within three hours
prior to the death of Miss Sloane?"

"That is our evidence on that point," replied Mr. Munson.

"Then, if it please the court, I move that all that testimony of
Professor Orton's following and dependent upon the hypothetical
question, shall be stricken from the records."
