Koblnson was called and diagnosed the illness as being due to" sciatic and malaria. Krom that time on Mrs. Myers continued to fall In health. Mr. Dolph set forth that Dr. Robinson was no a licensed physician In the state of Oregon and the claims he had made that he was a physician of emi nence were falBe. ,Also that the physi cian had lived at Mrs. Stevens' home. itveniuauy, Mrs. Myers was taken to Ashland In the hopes'' Uiat the change of climate would benefit her health. It was while at Ashland, Mr. Dolph asserted, that the discovery wss made that Mrs. Myers was suffering with an abscess and other complications. Be fore being taken to Ashland an effort was made to have Dr. Robinson call in a Portland physician in consultation, but he claimed there was none here whom he could consult. Annoyed by Trifles. It was brought out that in February, 18, Myers and his wife had each made wills leaving the property to each other and to be divided equally. In case of the death of either, among the children. Mr. McOinn said that when Mrs. Myers died the balance wheel of the family had gone and that grave trials began almost Immediately. He said that Myers had pestered his wife while she waa alck about the payment of "four and six-bit meat bills," until she had been nounded out of the city. It was at this time that Mrs. Myers was removed to Ashland with the hope of benefiting her health. Almost at the time that Mrs. Myers was at the point of death, the attorney charged that the husband was writing her a letter concerning the settlement of a bill of 121. loiter when she should have been absolutely free from all an noyances he raised a rumpus about the house over a 60-cent bill presented by a newspaper carrier. "We Intend to show that Myers labored under the delusion that his wife had been murdered." Mr. McGinn said, "and that he thought that Mrs. Stevens and his wife, before her death, had been intimate with Dr. Robinson, Myers believed this. He talked to sev eral friends about It and monlloned it to people he met on the street soon afterward. It was a happy family until Mrs. Myers died. When she had gone the family had lost lta balance wheel." It was also stated by the plaintiff's attorney that it would be shown that before his death, Myers had given a bill of sale to a cannerv In Alaska to his son, George T.

Dr. js. B. ricKie or aiearora. wno was called in consultation by Dr. Robinson while Mrs. Myers was at Ashland In 1901, was on the stand. He said that at the time he was called he saw no reason why the abscess should not have been diagnosed by any ordinary physi cian and that In his opinion if a skillful member of the profession had been called in time Mrs. Myers would have recovered in all probability. From the indications Dr. Pickle believed that at first, under the proper medical treat ment, Mrs. Myers chances for recovery were about 98 out of 100. Several other witnesses were ex amined. Judge Webster denied the motion for a lury trial and will hear the case himself. MRS.
