The offense committed by Perry is
one of the blacklist in the annals of
crime. The very intimate and conf
dental relations which must necessa-
rily exist between the physician and
his patient are such that the physi-
clan dare not violate them The only
safeguard to the patient is the honor
and integrity of the physician. In
the case in point Miss Johnson and
her mother called on Perry in the
forenoon but he was absent from home
Later in the day Miss Johnson, who
was suffering from severe pain in
the head, chest. and side, called
again. A gentleman in the office at the
time transacted some business with
Perry and retired. After making
a brief examination with the stetho-
scope and finding, as he stated, Miss
Johnson's heart was somewhat af-
fected, he saturated handkerchief
with chloroforin and ether and hand
ed it to Miss Johnson with the iHstruc-
tion that she inhale it. Miss John
son then inquired if it was chloro-
form. Hereplied thatit was not; that
he would not use chloroform because Of
the heart trouble. Prior to this, how
ever, he had gone from the Office out
into the hall and on his return locked
the door to the office. When asked
during the progress of the trial why
he went out into the hall he replied
that he did not know, also that he
did not know why he administered
chloroform. The assault was COM
mitted while the subject was under
the influence of the drug.
There are those who scout at the
idea of hell for the punishment of
the damned. 1t is conceded that
the hanging which Perry so narrowly
escaped would have been wholly mad
equate. A brute, such as he, could
well afford to die, as the time to elapse
between the sentence and its execu-
ton would be necessarily brief.
Fourteen years in the penitentiary is
also inadequate. At the same time
no one will question the propriety of
the juige not inflicting the full limit
The case is peculiar one Many in
teresting questions arose during the
progress of the trial Nothing in
medical jurisprudence threw any light
on it. A most heinous crime was
committed yet no physical injury was
done the victim. Facts revealed by
the microscope were the strongest
evidence Of guilt and are Of such a
nature as to exclude them from pub
LEGATION. The medical fraternity has
received shock from which it will
not soon recover. Hereafter the peo-
pie will demand to know that the
moral character of the physician is
above suspicion, and physicians will
be more careful in their dealings with
those who might, by reason of pique
or passion, circulate charges against
them.
