THE REGISTER WINS.
DR.. 0. ". Rood Sues the Register for
$4,000 and is Badly Defeated.
After Hard Fought Legal Battle, Extending Over Period of
Two Days, the Jury Brings in Verdict
for the Defendants.

hospitals where surgical operations
are performed, in order to prevent
sepsis.
The instruments said by the doctor
to have been used in this particular
operation, were shown to jury and
the REGISTER has their word for it
that they were rusty in appearance.
The knife said to have been inserted
in the young mans eye, was not
sharp, but full Of hicks and unfit for
use.
1t was proved conclusively that the
doctor, while regular licensed physi-
clan and holding diploma from a
reputable medical college, had moth
ing to show that he had taken any
special course or held diploma auth
orizing him to herald to the world
that he was an expert in eye and ear
surgery. In fact, he made himself
ridiculous in his attempt to impress
upon the jury that his certificate as
an optician, or filter of glasses, gave
him the right to pose before the pub
lie as an eye and ear specialist or as a
man capable Of performing delicate
surgical operations upon those organs.
In addition to this the defendants
were prepared to prove, by an array of
reputable witnesses, nearly all Of
whom had been the doctors patients,
that his reputation and position in
the community was an unenviable
one. But they we're prevented from
introducing this testimony by the
rulings Of the court.
The trial was long and tedious
one. The court room was continually
packed to suffocation, showing the in
tense interest Of the people in the re-
suit, and the REGISTER feels sure
that, in the honorable conduct of its
case, it has made many friends, and
that the number Of Rood's friends has
correspondence decreased.
Messrs. J. p. and W. NJ. Cheever,
who conducted the case for the de-
fense, are entitled to the highest
praise for the able fight which they
put up for their clients, and the plea
Of both gentlemen, particularly that
Of W. M. Cheever, was one of the
most convincing arguments ever pre-
sented to jury in the same length of
time. 1t was short, well worded, log.
ical and bristling with facts. 1t not
only commanded the respect of the
jury, but the admiration of bis
friends.

mony, in fact the church was nearly

No case in the circuit court has at
tracted such wide attention and such
general interest in years. In view of
this fact and for the further reason
that the REGISTER has refrained
from publishing anything in regard to
it from the time the action was COM
menced, a brief review of the case
will not be out of place at this time.
On August II, 1899, DR.. o. w. Rood
of this city, commepced an action
against the REGISTER for an alleged
libelous article copied and credited to
the Tribune, a paper published at Es-
telline in Hamlin county.
The doctor charged in his complaint
that 1t was of q malicious and defam-
atory character and that he had suf-
fered great damage and injury in his
business, profession and reputation,
demanding damages to the amount Of
$4,000. At the time papers were
served on the REGISTERS force Of
publishers 1t was deemed best not to
say anything about it in the columns
of the paper, as il was intimated that
DR.. Rood had commenced the action
for the notoriety it might give him
and the free advertising he might get
out of it. However that might be,
the REGISTER has refrained from
mentioning either DR.. Rood or his
case up to the present time, but kept
on preparing its defense, which was
made with the result as above noted
AS TO THE EVIDENCE.
The evidence in the case brought
out the fact that the defendants
would attempt to prove that all of the
statements contained in the alleged
libelouS article were true, that DR..
Rood did perform an operation on the
eye of one Gilbert Lovre, for catar-
act, that the operation was 80 un-
skillfully performed that the patient
suffered great pain and ultimately
lost his eye.
To prove this the defendants pro-
duced great array Of professional
talent as expert witnesses, and it was
shown to the jury that Rood's capa-
city as an expert on the eye was very
limited. 1t was shown that he did
not use in his hospital, nor had he
ever seen such contrivance as a ster-
ilizer for clothing, which is used in
