' ?v-V- :'', After having been .on the stand last Tuesday Dr. Robinson was called back yesterday afternoon, but he was fre quently supplanted at intervals by other witnesses for the contestant, who were called from their v business downtown and were allowed to testify as quickly as possible.

They also sought to show .that all that Myers charged Robinson with was unsklllful ness. . .

He Invited the women who desired to ripsaw: their neighbors to occupy his residence on Thursday afternoon-of each week. Recent meetings have not been as well, patronised as social conditions if, ?.rt Who Get the Appleo? have spoken of, the doctor and of Mrs. Stevens as Myers did. Dr. Robinson on the stand this morn ing was allowed to tell his story of the last Illness of Mrs. Myers without in terruption. He told how he had tried to call tn other physicians to consult with htm, but that' Mra Myers refused to permit him to do so. He told of the examinations he made and the progress of the disease, going Into detail and showing a surprising remembrance of incidents. He told of his attendance at the funeral. of Mrs. Myers and the ar rangements he made at the crematory by Myers'- direction. . To show that Mra Myers would not allow other doctors to be called, and that Myers commended Dr. Robinson for treatment of. his wife previous to her death, letters were Introduced in evidence yesterday ' afternoon.

Mr. Stevenson has been consulting wiin nis nepuues inrougn tne southern Oregon district and finds that general observance of the game and - forestry lawa is good, no violations - having at LittVs Falls appear to warrant,, ac cording to Mr. Mcllravy. . So the evan gelist has permitted the ''gossip circle" to die, but not without taking a final fling at tba back-biting element He said today: "The only retried y for Infamous gos sip would be to corral the gosslpers.
