from Senator James O'Bren Dempscys Intimate Illchd
and patron, together with others hign IN pohtcal
authority in this city brought to bear upon Dr.

sentations were made to Dr. WynkOop by frend
of Senator O'Brens that ii no would give modified

that police justice had agreed to strain
point Of law, and release Dempsey on bail
To strcngthenthe proposition physicians had agreed
TO relieve Dr. Wynkoop from absolute responsibility by
attaching their in connection with his to the GER
