Q. You were busy in office work? A. I have been in numerous 

 campaigns in the State. For the last couple of years I conducted the 

 campaign for the tariffs for the Cherry Growers on the Pacific Coast, 

 which I won. 



Q. The only thing I was anxious to show was that you were active 

 in office work. A. Yes. 



Q. Now, at the time you have described, just state in brief lan- 

 guage what affected you, what occurred ? A. I was taken in the mid- 

 dle of the night with a very severe pain right here. I called the doctor 

 and a surgeon and an osteopath. He is a surgeon, a doctor, and an 

 osteopath. 



The Court: Q. The doctor gave you no relief? A. He absolutely 

 practically gave me no hope. 



Q. I say he gave you no relief? A. No. 



Q. Somebody telephoned to the defendant on your behalf? A. 

 Yes. 



Q. Did you hear that conversation? A. No, I instructed them 

 what to say. 



Defense Attorney: Q. In any event, did you take whatever he 

 sent over? A. I took it very quickly. It was warm. I think the 

 nurse made it hotter. I took it, and in an hour my leg began to get 

 down and I rapidly got over the trouble. The pain went away rapidly. 



Q. How long was it before the pain was completely gone ? A. It 

 was a couple of days. I had another dose of the (herbs, and it was a 

 couple of days. 



Q. Have you ever had any recurrence of the trouble since? A. 

 No, I never had. 



Q. Don't answer what it was, Mrs. Callahan, but did the surgeon, 

 when he told you you would have to go to the hospital, tell you what 

 the particular trouble was that you were suffering with? A. No, he 

 didn't seem to know. 



Q. Did he say it was necessary for an operation? A. Yes, he 

 thought without doubt it was a case for an operation. 



Q. What did he say would happen if he didn't operate? A. He 

 didn't give me practically any hope. I think he was very doubtful even 

 if I were taken to a hospital. He simply said it was that critical a case. 



Defense Attorney: That is all.
