An Important Decision.
kentucky Advocated


The Supreme Court Of Indiana rendered a
decision last month february of immeasur-
able Importance not only to the medical pro-
fession, where the suit originated, but to the
members of the other professions and call
ings. 1t was test case, and is the first de-
cision ever rendered on the subject by any
court in this country, and, as far as we know,
over the land as just and right. The two dis
senting judges may, In the near future, regret
that they did not make it unanimous The
particulars of the suit were noticed in the Ad-
vocate ct the time, and are briefly these: Drs.
TT. Dills and A. B. Buchanan. of Fort Wayne,
Indiana, practicing physicians of reputation,
were summoned by the defendant to give tes-
tmony, as experts, in @ case Of rape, State
VS.. Hamilton. They had no concern or in
terest In the case or man, and they refused to
give the evidence unless they were properly
compensated. The Judge, promptly ordered
them to jail, and after they had exhausted
every means to sustain the stand they had
taken, they were forced to succumb and give
the testimony, which they did under protest,
and then they brought suit against the State.
A decision was given In the lower court adverse
TO Drs. Dills and Buchanan, but the Supreme
Court OF the State reversed the decision Of
the lower court, and sustained the position
taken by these physicians. The court "held
that under the constitution, the State has no
right to take mans particular services
expert medical testimony Is particular SER
vice within the meaning Of the constitution"
As said above, this decision Is of the highest
importance, and will give entire satisfaction
everywhere affecting, as it does, every pro-
fession and calling. Too much praise cannot
brave and manly stand In the interest Of
right and justice, and their profession will
hold them in everlasting gratitude for the
great service they have rendered 1t.
