Since, then,
men of the jury, he paid no heed, when I served notice on him to care for the
woman whom they had beaten and to bring in a physician, I myself brought in one
with whom I had had dealings for many years, and he cared for her during her
illness. I showed him the plight she was in, and brought witnesses. Hearing from
the physician that the woman's condition was hopeless, I again took other
witnesses, and pointing out the condition she was in served notice on these men
to care for her. On the sixth day after these men had come into the house the
nurse died.To prove that I am speaking the truth
in this, the clerk shall read you the depositions bearing upon these
matters.“
