Mrs. Chase said that she had not looked to see if there were any weals or marks on her son. Her boy had asked her to, but the nurse was standing near, and she had not done so. She had only let her boy go back to the infirmary on condition that Dr. Keats would not thrash him a second time. He did thrash him a second time. She had never made any complaint to Dr. Keats. She had never made a statement to the effect that she had consented to the punishment. She bad not said to a nurse she wished someone would give him a good hiding.
