By Mr. Fall: Q. You didn't tell on him because there was a sort of freemasonry among your attendants not to tell? A. I don't know as I was connected with a freemasonry altogether. The last of my being there these little things didn't happen so often, I didn't see so much of it; they kind of stirred shy of me because I didn't uphold any such business, and I used to argue with them in regard to that matter when those attendants were there. It was my belief that the best way to deal with them was kindness in every particular. That was my argument from the time I went there until I left. I never hurt a patient.
