CHAPTER XIV. After the emotional stress of the morning session, the 'quiet urbanity of Dr. Cavanaugh, as ,re settled him- self confo'tably in the witness chair restored an atmosphere of normality to the tense courtroom, Dr. Cavanaugh was very touch at ease and completely at home, and he showed it. He distinctly conveyed the impression that murder trials were no treat to him. He took the oath with the careless nonchalance of. a caller presenting himself to a familiar hostess, and awaited devel- opments ' with a manner that subtly combined a willingness to be helpful with a patient acceptance of incon- venience to himself in thus being in- terrupted. Graham had regained something of his former optimism, "Will you tell tee jury. doctor, something oi' your professioeal car- eer.?" "I was graduated from the Har- vard medical school, and atter my in- t'ereeshin was for several years 00 the staff of 'Graham lvespital for net - Wes and mental diseases.

"1 have told you that I did not kerw of her marriage to Ellsworth." "And having had your little chat with the lady you left her on a street eeener--having made no attempt to follow up the steps conveyed in your totter to her—and fled back to the auto camp, where you concealed your- self under the assumed name of Dan- iel Osgood?"

Graham looked sightly surprised, but recovered himself promptly. "Very well; go right ahead doctor." "I. will be as brief and non-techni- cal as possible. If your honor and the jury will bear with me=' Dr, Cavanaugh glanced upward at the judge's bench—"I wilt. go over the entire eircusnatancesd of my dealings. with the' defendant:' "'Yon have all the time at your die- pos'al that you need, doctor!" Even the judge treated this witness with marked and courteous respect. He no longer stared out.the window or gave his bored attention to the wranglings of Graham and the district ,attorney. It happened that this was the first case he' had tried in which the great Dr. Cavanaugh- appeared as expert witness, and he obviously looked upon t as an opportunty 1 lultofenrore it as an opportunity full of interest."
