[page 924] Ques. Did you not go in through a private entrance the outer door of which happened to be unfastened and go to the inner door and knock and the attendant came to the door. Ans. I have no recollection of it whatever. Ques. ^repeated. Ans. I remember of being let out by the attendant once through that back door for some purpose. I went out without my hat with the understanding that she should let me back that way when I came in and knocked. I do remember such a case. Ques. Was Miss. Smiley the attendant that let you in. Ans. I do not remember. I know Miss. Smiley; she is the attendant upon the patient I speak of. Ques. Did you not go in that way originally without having gone out. Ans. That is not my recollection; such a thing would be possible among the multitude of times of my going there. Ques. Without the knowledge of any officer of the institution did you not go in that way. Ans. I have no recollection. It would not be strange, knowing the confidence they had in me if I might have gone directly to my wife's room, by that door. Ques. Did you not know that was entirely contrary to the rules of the institution. Ans. I did not, at that time.
