The Transcript Of last evening is
misleading in mentioning DR.. Rob-
ert's connection with the Kosanke
case. 1t was as follows:
1t was believed by the defense,
that the medical witnesses for
the state were predjudiced against
the prisoner, hence Judge Searle was
requested 10y the attorneys to ap-
point a local physician to watch the
testimony of the medical expert
from St. Paul and the physicians
here, so that they confine themselves
absolutely to scientific facts and not
let their private convictions color
their tatements to the injury of the
prisoner. None but a physician
could be competent to sift such testf-
mony and DR.. Roberts was selected
for that purpase, and he only chal-
lenged tie expert when it was be-
lieved that he had departed from Il
strictly neutral scientific basis and
was giving testimony exaggerating
hey Ond reasonable scientific bounds
the powers of the microscope. etc.
Those who took exception to DR..
Roberts interest in the case can now
see that he was retained by the
state and paid by the state just the
same as the prisoners attorneys
were, and all the other state wit
nesses. The prisoner certainly had
nothing to do with it AS it was
proven he had not a cent in the
. world. It was done by the court on
the old fashioned way of giving
every man, no matter how degraded
Or guilty, a fair chance for his life,
not to be throttled like a helpless
rat in a trap without recourse or
defense. .*@.s......s ~:
