Mien she died. I saw her on the morning
before she died, about quarter past seven.
She came to my house on her way to work,

she had been for some time. I never saw
her alive again, after she left me that more-

called. I do‘notknow of anything but cus-
Him that brought her there. I have not toh‘
any person that I performed an operation
upon my daughter on Monday night,and that
rs no good effects followed from it on Tues-
day morning, sent her to Stamford to see
what could be done. I never told my bus-
band auy thing of the kind. Wednesday
morning I looked up to her windows several
times. I did not know but she might be sick
on Wednesday morning, as I saw her pillow
against the window. I asked her to come on
Tuesday night, and take tea. She told me
she could not as she was going away. I did
not ask her ere she was going.
The namesof several witnesses were called
but they‘vvere absent,and William F. Tillman
of South Norwalk, was put- on the stand.
This young man is charged With complicity
in the case. He said: I had known Mrs.
Cullen for a little oher a year, and was inti-
mately acquainted with her. I saw her two
or three times on the week before Decoration
Day. On that day I went to Stamford and
saw Dr. Trowbridge at his branch office,
MbOUI seven o'clock in the evening. I told
long the lady had been in that condition,
would be all right. I told him Iwould bring
her down the next evening to which he
assented. I went away, took the train and
went to South Norwalk. 0n the next. night
I returned to Stamford with Mrs. Cullen on
the 7:55 train and went to Dr. Trowbridgc’s
branch office on Pacific street. He Was talk-
ing on the front stoop,and we went afterward
up to his private office. He asked me if that
wet the lady.and I replied in the affirmative.
I had a talk with the doctor in another room
and gave him the money he demanded. He
afterward talked with Mrs. Cullen, and then,
I told him if he could not help her not to
make the attempt. He said he would make
it all right,and then performed the operation.
She complained of-pain, and he told her she
would be better‘ in a moment or two and
le t the room. I stood with my back to her
and as I turned around 1 saw she was
falling, and caught her. I laid her down on
the lounge and called the doctor. who came
in andsaid she had a fainting spell. Her
pulse was regular.

there probably five minutes before we saw
her breathe. She came to in a kind of uneasy

had run away or was not coming back. He
asked Why I didn't come, and I said I sup-
posed her folks were taking care of every-
thing. hold him that he had better go with
me, and we left Stamford-on the 6:35 a. m. _
train. I told the doctor that when we reached
South Norwalk I would, go and change my
clothes, and let him go and see about the
corpse. I left him at South Norwalk, where
he took the horse car and went uptown. I re-
mained in South Norwalk until Friday Web.
log amber. week,and then went to Spilngflcid
Muss , from there to Albany,and was arrested
in Auburn, N. Y., in the first part of June,
in jail until the present time.
The cross-examination was conaicted by
James H. Olmsiead, Esq, of the defendant’s
counsel, and was unusually severe and search- ‘
ing. he previous history of Tillman was
inquired into, but nothing of importance was
elicited. “Were you the cause of the deli-
cate health of the girl ?”asked Mr. Olmstead,
‘~‘I couldn't say; I don’t know,” answered
the witness. “Had anything been done to
that girl before you left South Norwalk on
that day ?” “Not to my knowledge." .
“Haven’t you said that there had ten ?’
“No, sir." “Did you go to see any doctor in
Stamford ?” “Yes, sir; Dr; Trowbridge. ”
“Any one else ?” Yes, sir; Dr. Bowall."
“Didn’t you tell Dr. Rowell that everything
had been tried and failed ?" “No, sir."
means tried except medicine ?" “I don't
believe he did." “Will you swear he didn't?”
“I couldn’t say, but I don’t think he did.”
“And didn’t you reply, ‘yes, every means
has been tried that could be ?"’ “No, sir."
“Didn't he say, ‘I will have nothing to do
with It ?' ” “He said that if I could get the
woman to board in Stamford he would un-
dertake to'help her." This caused a laugh
from the prosecution. Tillman continued:
He. then said he would send me to a doctor
who would attend to it. and gave me a note
to Dr. Trowbridge. What did you do with
thatnote ? ’ Gave it to Dr. Trowbridge. I
saw it the next evening on. the doctor’s
table. Do you sayéf’snder oathlhat Dr.
Rowell gave you a note to Dr. Trowbridge?
Yes, sir. Idid not see any oiher doctor
except Dr. Trowbrid c, after I left Dr.
Rowell.‘ - It was about o’clock when I saw
Dr. Rowell in the drug store. After that I
went around town until seven o’clock, when
I went to Dr. Trowbridge’s branch office. I
rang the bell, and the doctor himself came to
the door, and took me up stairs to his office.
I gave him the note, which he read. and
then asked me how long the woman had
been in the condition, to which I replied,
“about three months.” He said he could
fix her, and I told him I would bring her
down the next night. I had two men with
me, and they waited outside. The doctor
had on dark clothes on both occasions, and
there was nothing noticeable about his cos-
tume.
wnbxnsbax ssssiox. ‘
The cross-examination of Wm. F. Tillman
was resumed. On Monday night when I
went. to Dr. Trowbridge‘s office. I pulled
knob on right hand side of the door. I
heard the bell ring, and in about a minute
the doctor came to the door. I never told
aiiyone that 1 had got the girl in trouble. I
did not say such a thing on Sunday to a man
on‘ the street. I will swear I did not. I am
not acquainted with James G. Charlton, of
Norwalk. 1 never told him that. Neither
did I tell him I had got a box of pills for her
to take. I had not. seen Mrs. Cullen on
Monday before I went to Stamford. I saw
her Sunday nigbthin her room, but do not
know what the time was. I had been told
by her two or three months before other
condition. She said she had taken pills. I
got them for her at her request, and upon
her telling me what to get. .She also told
me she had used other means She never
told me at. any other time of any other means
which"she had employed. After Dr. Rowan
refused to help me, I did not ask him to
give me the names of other physicians in
Stamford, nor did he give me any names.
The witness was asked the contents of the
note from Dr. Howell to Dr. Trowbridge
He said the following was as near as he could
remember: Thissil a young man from Nor-
walk. and I think you can help him out.
Signed, Rowcll. Tillman continued: an
note was written on a business card. I do
not know whose it was. I did not see Mr.
'or Mrs. Bracket Monday evening. There
was a. covering on the stairs, but I do not
know whether" it was carpet or oilclotb.
After lcnvibg‘ the doctor’s office Monday
night, I wentto the depot and took the
train for South Hermit. whmJ mired
