The final meoting of the eurrent seasen of the Westerly Music club was held Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Paul Raft Mrs. Walter Pridk I Vere Barber being heard before Judge George Brown at the May session of the Washington county. {As in his direct examination Monday afternoon, Dr. Barber maintained under crose examination, that Mrs. Plymptorwas subject to severe headaches and was ac- customed to oalling him for slight ill- nesses. He sald that in his estimation, Mrs, Plympton died from a clot of blood s |on the brain, and scoffed at the sugses- tions that she might have died from neg- igénoe following the birth of her child. At the afterncon session, Dr. Frank I Payne, the physician who was called for consultation by Dr. Barber on the night when Mrs. Plympton died, testified that he had alse treated Mrs. Plympton at va- rious times and that sre was subject to headaches and nervous spells. He had tésted Mrs. Plympton's urine about three weeks befors the birth of the child, and it was perfectiy normal. He was called to the home of Mrs. Piympton on the night of May 10, 19§9, about 9 clock, and when he arrived there, he found that she was sufferinz from convulsions. She was frothing at the mouth, the pupils of the eyes were uneven, and she was unconscious. He was called on by counsel to define sepsis, sep- tisimia. and peritonitis. He said that the physical conditons of the patent at the time he saw her, did not point to any of these diseases, and that in his opinion, she died of a clot of blood on the brain. On cross-examination, Attornéy Pettine trled to bring out that although the doc- | tor said that the patient died with a clot of blood on the brain, neither physician | treated her for that malady. The testi- mony for the most part was technical, and the case was interrupted repeatedly by Attorney Rathbun who objected to many of the points introduced by the plaintifi’s attorney. Dr. Payne was ex- cused from the stand at the closing of the session, and it Is expected that Dr. Henry Johnson will be th efirst witn this (Wednesday) morning.
