All the representatives of foreign
nations in this country have sent

Hobart. One of the first to express

however, his appetite failed, and he

was seized with weak spells. He

cheerful, but toward midnight his
condition was beyond hope.
Now again the patient rallied, and
in these moments spoke to his wife

SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST DR.. WINN
Being Responsible for the
Death of a Child.

SAN RAFAEL Dec. 9-Dr A. c. Winn
OF Tomales. the physician who came into
prominence two weeks ago by his connec-
ton with bribery charges in the Griffin
will contest. was accused to-day by Mar
tin Zopp OF Marshalls with having caused
the death of his four-year-old boy The
facts in the case, as alleged by Zoppi
were laid before Coroner Eden, who will
proceed 10 Marshalls tomorrow in COM
pany with District Attorney McIsaac and
make an investigation Of the charges.
Zoppi informed Coroner Eden that
few days ago he sent for DR.. Winn TO at
tend the boy, and that the physician i'm
mediately pronounced him a sufferer from
pneumonia. Winn began treatment, but
was so careless in making his professional
calls, so the father claims, and so negli-
gent in prescribing that the child died to-
day.
hard drinker, and on that account got
the progress OF the Griffin will contest.
He was subpenaed to give evidence for
the plaintiff and failed TO appear. Judge
Angellotti issued a bench warrant of ar
rest which was served on Winn at Tibu-
ron by officer Cottingham. At that time
Winn was intoxicated and so appeared
before the court. He was told to be pres
ent on the following day, and gave his
promise. but next day became intoxicated
again and once more failed to appear in
court Attorney Keys finally decided to
let the evidence pass and Judge Angellotti
was lenient and permitted Winn TO escape
punishment
Shortly after this Attorney Hugh Jones
charged Winn with having tried to secure
500 from the defendant to give favorable
evidence. and Attorney Keys shot back
the allegation that Winn had told him
and others IL was Attorney Cochrane who
tried to do the bribing. Nothing came OF
the charges.
Attorney Cochrane. however. fired a
parting salvo at DIR. Winn in the shape
of a charge that in addition TO being a
drunkard he was a morphine fiend."
