recently of manslaughter in causing the
death OF an old man at Centralia, and for
which his associate. DR.. Guile. was con-
victed and sentenced, argument for a new
trial began this afternoon and lasted until
10 o'clock this evening. J. Hamilton
Lewis, of Seattle, for the Defense laid
down three propositions for which he con-
tended:
First-That defsncent was Q physician and
could not be held guilty Of granddaughter where
death resulted from q surgical operation, how.
he had been indicted under . general law re-
lating to murder and not especially under that
relating to physicians.
Second-That the Law, a. charged by the Judge
in the trial, that q surgical operation which
might involve the death of q patient could
not be made without the patients knowledge
and consent. could not be sustained under the
law relating to surgery, because, a. he con-
tended. surgeon may perform an operation in
volving the life of . subject whenever, in the
immediate judgment Of the surgeon, an emsr-
gency justiiea
Third-Misconduct OF the Jury in receiving
communication from the outside during the
progress OF the trial This was supported BY the
anidavits OF G. Boak and Frank Cook, who
alleged they had seen q bottle passed to Juror
from the outside by means Of a rope let down
from the second-story window.
Judge Gordon in passing upon the
matter stated that this affidavit which
was not properly rebutted. left no
recourse but to grant new trial, though
he felt there was no error 40 contended as
to the former construction of tho law.
DR.. Minkler was therefore admitted to
bail IN the sum of $1,000 pending new
trial.
