DR.. BAIRD FOUND
NOT TO BE GUILTY

Denver. June ia Republican spe-
cial from Boulder yesterday says:
The jury in the case Of DR.. Rudolph
Baird, accused Of poisoning his wife,
this morning returned q verdict of mot
guilty" The verdict was expected.
Under the conditions of the case the
jury must either acQuit or else md
that the defendant had killed his wife
by administering strychnine. All Of the
doctors swore that strychnine did not
cause her death. All except one OF
the physicians said she did not die Of
natural causes, but none would lay
death at the door OF strychnine.
The jury went out at 4:2O o'clock
yesterday afternoon. On the first bal
lot Jurors Bounds. Caywood and Jones
stood for conviction, the others for ac-
Quittal. Jones hung out the longest,
but finally. little after midnight, he
agreed to a verdict of acquittal.
Early this morning the news spread
that the jury had agreed and that
court would convene at 9 o'clock BY
that time the court room was crowded.
The defendant. accompanied by his
son, his daughter and her husband, who
have been present during the entire
trial, had seats inside the railing and
with them sat the main attorney for
the defense. Senator Charles B. Ward.
Before the verdict was read Judge
Garrigues warned the audience not to
indulge In any demonstrations. either
in favor of or against whatever the
verdict might be. He instructed the
bailiff to arrest any one violating this
order. When the verdict was read the
court room was as still as DEATH The
defendant heard the reading of the ver-
dict unmoved and the daughters heaved
sigh of relief. 1t was not until some
minutes later, when court adjourned to
the 22nd instant. that any one in the
court room moved. AS the crowd left,
a few went up and congratulated the
defendant, his relatives and the sttor-
neys. and one of the most famous trials
in the history of this county was ended.

a LESSON FOR PHYSICIANS.
Spirit Of Harshness and Loneliness
No Longer Tolerated.

No Longer Tolerated.
There is one good result OF an
overcrowded profession" and OF the
sharp competition that exists among
doctors in the rivalry for popular IA
vor. This is the disappearance of the
old-time spirit Of harshness and lord
illness, which sometimes degenerated
into positive brutality. These charac-
teristics were the natural products OF
an original boorishness. increased by
success and comparative monopoly
OF practice. 1t takes a gentlemanly
mind not to be spoiled by the attitude
of subservience on the part OF pa
tients, and the habit Of ordering by
the physician in charge.
In every large community there ara
still left specimens Of medical DR..
Johnsons. who from a ruder age have
carried down a cross and commanding
acerbity of manner that is now out OF
place and time. In one of our large
American cities there is an example
known far and wide. His loss of pa
tients does not teach him any lesson,
and seems rather to increase his chur'
lishness. He seems to take special
delight In hurting the feelings of his
patients by perverse Feasibility.
A patient who was shocked by this
manner in the very beginning of the
examination suddenly stopped, and In
q quiet manner asked the amount Of
the customary fee, paid 1t, and with
out word walked away. There are
better reasons. of course. against un
kindness and coarse egotism. but II

Governor Waite was trying to estab-

1852, and that he rose through the
ranks of captain, major. colonel and
brigadier general by his gallant and
meritorious service. His conduct in
the battle of Bull Run won him the
