THE USUAL MANNER

When he discovered the cause of the
girls illness she was doctorcd in the usual
manner. Her fever remained very high
from the time she came into the santar-
iun until she died. When he saw how
serious the girls illness was he made her
sign a statement setting forth the name
Of the doctor who operated upon her and
whom he claimed was one OF the promi.

testified that he thought the girl had been
given pills and that il was his opinion that
she got them from woman in Missoula.
When questioned as TO whether lac had
performed an operation upon the girl
he declared in a most dramatic way that
he had not. As explanation for giving
the wrong cause OF death in his death
certificate he stated that the father of
the girl had pleaded with hini to put in
some other than the real cause, so that
the shame OF the daughters death might
