BRYSON QUEER IN TREATING SICK, DOCTORS DECLARE (Cowtinued from First Page.) Bryson's character as an officer before going overseas was excellent. Ho described the champagne drive and broyght war days in France back to a little Pennsylvania courthouse by his graphic description of shell fire and battle there: Witness stated that the shell fire was so_terri! that he himselt was knocked from his feet by concussion. Maj. Bryson's dress- ing station was 500 rds beyond this position. Witness talked 'to Bryson, he sald, during the battle. Later, the witness stated, when he met Maj. Bryson in Washington on F street, he stated that Bryson seemed “sore with me. Pleg for Bryson. Long high windows open from the west side of the courtroom. Through them late yesterday afternoon shone | slanting rays of a setting sun, crim- son and gold. While witnesses on the |stand were painting a picture of a physician, well known, loved and re- spected for his keen intellect and his | brilliance as a soldier and a doctor, !the fading sun was painting another plcture. Rosy tints coming through the window cast-a sort of haze about the prisoner—the hunched figure of a man, slouched in chair, staring vacantly at the floor from drooping oyelids, and paying no attention, ap parently, to proceedings in the court- room where the law waged u battle for his life. Prominent men from distant places took the stand yesterday to pay trib- ute to the Herbert Bryson they once knew. Washington furnished a large percentage of these witness: But others came from Rochester, New York and Roston.

He gave detalls regarding the arrival at the hospital, and questions put to him and his associate physician, Dr. Hutchlson, at the same hospital, on cross-examination revealed that ‘an operation was noj performed on the wounded woman until more than an hour and a half after her arrival at the honr , although she was suf- fering Internal hemorrhages and a puncture of a lobe of the liver and stomach. The defense, it is under- stood, will seek to establish the fact that before the operation the physi- cians called in the distrigt attorney to_get a statement from the woman. The mystery surrounding the uni- deptified but beautiful blonde in black has not been lifted. Everybody knows her name, Isabel Jane Mc- Creary, but only a few know what she's doing here and they won't tell. Among the prominent Washing- tonians who took the stand for Dr. Bryson yesterday was Brig. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers’ Associa- tion, commander of the District of Columbia Natlonal Guard and an overseas colonel during the war. He brought Dr. Bryson's Natlonal Guard record_with him. He testified he knew Dr. Bryson since 1909, in the Natlonal Guard. He said that Dr. Bryson was under his officlal obser- vation when the guard was called out for Mexican border service and that 80 far as he knew the doctor was a very eflicient officer. During the en- tire time of his service, witness con- | tnued, there had not been filed a sin- i gle report of dereliction of duty and there was no record of reprimand of T entally_alert?” the wit- asked. “Exceptionally so, he answered. “We considered him a gentleman of brilllant attainments.

Instead of h customary quick replies in conversa tion, witness continued, Dr. Bryson was slow and halting in his speech and hesitated before making a reply. This, he'summarized, was quite the contrary to his former manner. Willlam Paddock, bunker of Boston, an officlal of the Federal Reserve Bank there. was the next witness called.
