36th Dr Boemond (Recalled) Q Did Dr Thos Griffith, or any other person ever promise to use their influence in any way to place you in Dr Bell's position in case he was removed? A Never. Q Did you ever have any conversation with them on this subject? A Never. Q Did not Dr Griffith or some other person tell one J Shelly that if Dr Bell was removed, you would be placed in his position? A. Mr John Shelly met me and said, "I am sorry that I could not sign that petition. I said what petition, Mr Shelly. He said "the petition to remove Dr Bell and to put you in his place" I said "I have never before heard of it. He answered, "I would do anything to advance your interests, but I could not sign a petition to remove Dr Bell, as I have never seen him, and know nothing whatever about him, and I desire to injure no man."
