"The witness may answer," said the Recorder.
At the request of Mr. Bliss the stenographer read the question aloud, and the witness replied.
"Dr. Medjora and myself were not enemies. Certainly not!"
"Had you not had a controversy with him upon a professional point?"
"I had an argument with him, in a debate, just as occurs in all debates."
"Precisely! But was not this argument, as you term it, a discussion which followed a paper which you had read, and in that argument did not Dr. Medjora prove that the whole treatment outlined by you was erroneous, unscientific, and unsound?"
"He did not prove it; he claimed something of the kind!"
"You say he did not prove it. As a result of his argument, was not your paper refused publication by a leading medical journal?"
"I did not offer it for publication."
"I think this is all incompetent, your Honor," said Mr. Munson.
