THE SAN JOSE MYSTERY,
The Charge Against DR.. Case
Has Been Reduced to
ManSlaughter.
He Was Released on Ball, but
Declined to Say Anything
About the Case.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Aug. 13.-The charge
of murder against DR.. Henry Case, who
was accused by the Coroner's jury OF hav-
ing prescribed and administered medicine
that was the cause of Elezer Frost's death,
was dismissed on motion of District At
torney Harrington to-day, and charge of
manslaughter substituted. DR.. Case was
released on $4,000 bail this afternoon. His
examination is set for August %.
DR.. Case persists in declining to say any,
thing about the case, or how the patient
came to be dosed with mercury and cor
rosive sublimate, beyond the statement
that he had no idea how the poison got
into his patients stomach. 1t has been
rumored that the Santa Clara County
Medical Society reorganized for the pur-
pose OF dropping DIR. Case, owing to his re-
puted practices of q shady character. When
asked concerning this DIR. Case said:
1.-THE simple fact of the matter is that
was member of the county medical
society for about six years; attended the
meetings quite regularly, and read papers
occasionally before the society. Ny rela
tons with the members were quite cor
dial and pleasant. The society during all
this time was not regularly organized, but
was sort of informal affair, and about a
year ago it was disbanded and reorganized
under the laws of the State
did you ever send in your name for
mem bership in the recognized society?"
was asked.
Il did not, but it was simply because
l, as well as several others, did not get
around to it to join. l have thought of
joining from time to time, and l suppose il
l had sent in my name L would have been
admitted to membership. l certainly do
not know and have never had anything to
the contrary intinated to me-"
Have you attended meetings of the
society since its reorganization"
81 have, but only as visitor, not as a
member. l have continued in cordial rela-
tons with the members of the society. l
know of no other reason why did not join
or present my name for membership than
that l neglected it from time to time, Just
as a person will almost anything else that
he is intending to do. / am in favor of
medical societies and their objects and
aims. and as l said before. l never had any
