She also said Dr Craig called on her last Sunday afternoon.* That Craig had discussed marriage with her was admitted by Miss Fleming, but she scoffed at the idea of an en gagement. She said she had known Craig for seventeen years. "You’ll pardon ine. but what is your age?” tactfully asked the examining attorney. "I’m In my forty-second year,” shyly replied Miss Fleming. Miss Fleming reluctantly admitted she has had several conversations with Dr. Craig since the trial began. She said she had been to Fort Wayne, recently, but denied she asked her cousin, Stephen B.
