DIR B + Ketchum was at Manches-
ter last week as All expert witness in
the case of q. NJ, father of Helen Lin
coin VS.. Lottie and George Guild for
an assault which 81 claimed to have
resulted in death. The parties are
from Rupert, the girls were musicians
and church organists and there was
jealousy between them and one eve
ming AS Helen came out of the church,
Lottle and George, who was then her
beau, stood on the sidewalk and
jabbed her with the elbow in the low
er part of the chest as she passed, and
the operation further along
on the read before they got home.
Helen complained that night of severe
pains and though che was out the
next day, she died in about week,
and her father sued for $40, 600. The
doctors who attended her called the
dlsease pneumonia and the claim of
the defense was that it is conta-
gious disease and she caught it from
her brother who had it about the same
time. The plaintiffs experts, of whom
DR. ketchum was one, claimed it was |
pneumonia, or involving the |
sac, and that it was devel-
oped from the inflammation caused by
these blows, giving virulence to the
heterogeneous that exist IN large |
vas that the disease is only infec
.ious instead of contagious. 1t was a
'oyal battle, scientifically, but after
he evidence was nearly fall in, Jury
Leray of Readsboro was taken sick
With the measles and it was put over
another term. Barber and Waterman,
