| Sprin2ville, Nov. II. Tile trial
Of one Of tue most remarkable cases
thar was ever brought before this
court took place here yesterday.
The charge was mallslaughter,
against DR.. Jeptha Is. Pickett. one
OF the most successful phy sicians Ut
this parish. The charge was brought
by Mott Kemp, whose SON. Simeon
Kemp, sixteen years old DIR.
Pickett wss accused OF killing BY
malpractice or neglect. The State
broke down utterly and abandoned
the case District Attorney Ellis
stated IN open court ihst tie prose-
cutting witness, Mott Kemp, had
been misled by the statements Of
DR.. Powlett, who was called in at
the last moment to attend the youth.
The facts Ut the case. as brought
out by the testimony, were az fol-
lows: Young Simeon Kemp, Sept.
"a last, went to the Office Of DR..
Pickett, in Springfield. suffering
with sore throat and fever. and
the doctor prescribed for him.
Later DR.. Pickett attended him At
his fathers house until Oct. 8, when
h. lied Of nemmorhsgs Of The throat.
i've having been suffering from
liberated sure throat. Mott Kemp
had become dissatisfied with the
treatment and sent for DR.. $. J..
Powiett, Of Hammond. who reached
the sick.bed on Oct 9. Kemp swore
on the stand that DR.. Puwlett told
him that the boy had died through
neglect. and on this he based the
charge. Mr Kemp was foreman
OF the grand jury that found The bill
against DR.. Pickett. The State Was
represented BY District Attorney
Ellis and NJ. W. Davidson. and the
defense hv Benjamin NJ. Miller, Of
Covin2ton, and Hon >. D. Ellis.
The testimony IT DR.. Pickett and
DR.. Jsmes Elmore, OF st. John Par
ish VAS to the effect that the former
had conducted the treatment Of the
case on the most thoroughly accept
Ell lines of medical treatment for
such cases. and he had used all Of
his skill and knowledge 10 effect a
cure. DR.. Elmore was twice placed
on the stand, and While lie was testi.
fving for the defense the district
attorney rose and stated to The court
that the State wished to abandon
the ease that the prosecuting wit
ness had b en- misled, and that all
were fully convinced that DR..
Pickett had done all in Lis power to
cure Young Slmeon Kemp. Judge
Reid accordingly directed to jury to
bring in verdict of not guilty, and
DR.. Pickett was discharged. He
was immediately SUR ,unded by his
friends and received numerous con-
CALCULATIONS.
