[page 371] Q. On this occasion did the patient desist when requested? A. When attacked? Q. No, when requested did he stop his noise? A. He always did, most always; I think likely he did that time. Q. I am not asking you for general statements, but your recollection of this particular occurrence. I want to know whether he did, at that time according to your best recollection, obey or disobey the request of the attendant to make less noise, or any thing to that effect? A. About what? about resisting? Q. Whether he stopped making a noise when ordered? A. He never would stop when ordered not to make any noise. Q. Never did? A. No, sir. Q. And he didn't this time? A. I dont think he did. I dont say certain he was spoken to at that time Q. You have stated your best recollection on it that that was said. Now I want to know if the attendant struck him after the request? A. I say I dont recollect of his striking him there; he jumped his knees into his stomach.
