Point Interesting to the Profession.
Special TO the Jerssg City Nelcs.
TRENTON, March II, ls91.-I wired you
briefly yesterday the fact that Dr. Elmer
Rogers raised queer question while Oh
the witness stand regarding the power Of
the Court to compel doctor TO give
gratuitous expert testimony The Incl
dent occurred during the trial of the cas- e
of John Smith vs.. Joseph Smith, in the
City District Court Yesterday. The par
ties in the case are brothers, and tn ey
had little difficulty sometime ago which
ended in serimmage. John claims that
his brother struck him on the side and
broke three Of his ribs, whereby he was
laid up for three weeks. The defsnse is
tnat Joseph only struck his brother with
his hand, and that was in self defense.
The injuries were caused by Johns
falling upon something and breaking his
ribs.
All of the testimony was taken a week
ago except that of the physician. Yesuer-
day DR.. Rogers was called TO the stand
He told of the wounds on Joseph, which
he had dressed, and explained the serious
ness Of their nature.
Mr.. Barton, in conducting the cross
examination, asked DR.. Rogers how
many rios q man had. The do ctor re-
fused to answer the question. Judge
Lanning told the witness that it was a
proper question and that he must answe r
it. Still ne refused He was fin lly dis
missed from the witness stand, but WAS
told bv the Court TO remain in the room.
After the Court had adjourned. Judge
Lanning called the doctor before him and
asked him why he refused to answer tn e
question. He replied that it was q Ques-
ton that could only be answered 6y an
expert. He had only been subpoeaaed as
an ordinary witness, and did not think ne
could be examined as an expert without
additional compensation. A physicians
time was valuable, he said, and he mad
made up his mind some time ago that IL
ever he were called as a witness in that
way he woul1 test the matter.
Judge Lanning dismissed him, but told
him TO appear in Court on Wednesday,
when the Court would decide whether ne
should receive the penalty for contempt
of Court, or whether the ground of his re-
fusal to answer the question was well
taken.

Clinton streets. On this corner is a gro
Gerry store. Beneath its awning there
nightly congregates a gang OF the tough
est description. When the policeman
reached there he saw about fifteen young
men enjoying themselves In the usual
gang fashion. One half Of them were
clustered about a growler, while the
other half were pitching pennies. Harri-
son walked over TO them and ordered
them to disperse. They did not move
he told them again to get of the corner.

said;-"See here, young feller, yer a new
copper and yer a fresh duck, too. but
don't git fresh wild us, seer"
We'll, Pli just take you along with me
anyhow said Harrison as he grabbed
the speaker firmly by the coat collar and
gripped his club. The gang gathered
around the policeman and endeavored TO
make him release his prisoner. Several
OF the gang grabbed the prisoner by the
arm aud attempted to pull him away.
Harrison used his club and they let 90.
Then the gang attempted other tao

was met by William Lnskey, one OF the
gang, who commenced to upbraid him
for arresting his pal. Linskey said that
Harrison could not take him. Harrison
grabbed him. LinsKey fought like q
tiger and had to be clubbed before he
submitted to arrest. This morning both
of the gang were sent to the County Jail.
