Ellsworth has been considerably excited for
a week or more over a suit brought by Mrs
Bertha j. Fernald against DIR. Walter NJ
Haines to recover damages for malpractice in
a case of obstetrics. The Ellsworth doctors
seem to have ranged themselves ON the side of
the plaintiff and the defendant was obliged to
go out of town for his medical testimony Hon
Andrew P. Wiswell for the defence. Mr..
Wiswell charged conspiracy on the part of the
Ellsworth doctors to break down DR.. Haines
and called Drs. Sanger, Young and Simmonds
of Bangor and DR.. Thompson who testified
that Dr. Haines' treatment was in accordance
with the best authorities. The jury returned
a verdict for the defendant
