Sharply Criticizes District Attorneys
Methods in the Joseph Smith
Murder Case.
The trial of Joseph Smith, the aged
contractor, charged with the murder
of Joseph E. MCGOWAN at the terra
Gotta works, 1859 Mission street, on
November 26, was eniivened yesterday
by stormy scenes between District At
torney Byington and Henry Ach of
counsel for the defendant.
The hostilities broke out while Po-
liceman James A. Feeney was being
questioned by the District Attorney
just before the noon adjournment.
Ach repeatedly made objections and
finally exclaimed: II object to the
District Attorneys leading the witness
and making him testify just as he
wants.
Byington's face flushed red as he
sprang to his feet and. facing Ach,
spoke slowly and deliberately: "Coun-
sci states what he knows to be de-
liberate falsehood."
Il don't want to engage in a game
of fisticuffs with the District Attorney
in court replied Ach, "but say again
that. his reputation is known to be as
have said
IF you say" retorted Byington hot
ly, that my reputation is of that char
dcIer L say lndl you kuOW your state
ment to be false"
Every member of the bar who has
had occasion to oppose you at a trial
will bear me out in that statement"
replied Ach.
Before Byington could reply the
Judge interfered and commanded the
angry lawyers to stop their personals
ties. They promptly obeyed
During the afternoon, when Captain
Burnett was on the stand, Ach char
acterized the District Attorney as a
bully for sweating an old man
like the defendant in the captains Of
fice Byington declared that he would
resist any attack on his good name. no
matter who made it. The Judge again
restored order.
The witnesses examined yesterday
were Detective James w. Boyle, who
took down the defendants statement
in Captain Burnetts office after his
arrest: Matthew MCGOWAN, father.
and Matthew B. MCGOWAN, brother of
the murdered youth, and Captain Bur-
nett. Several hours were wasted in an
effort by defendants counsel TO ex-
clude the testimony of Boyle and Bur-
nett.

Or. Henry Believes Free Use of
AntitOxin Would Do Much To-
ward Accomplishing II.
GOVERNOR INTERESTED.
Bill Likely to be Reported in
Senate Next Week and Stands
Good Chance.

In speaking about his antitoxin bill,
this morning, DR.. F. G. Henry feels
greatly encouraged with the appear
ance Of things. 1t is probable that
the measure will be reported by the
senate committee next week, but with
an amendment. This will provide that
the state buy the antitoXin instead of
making it. but it is to be distributed
free throughout the state to all classes.
As this is the real object OF DR..
Henry's bill, he says it makes no
difference to him how the antitoxin
is secured by the state rs long as a
doctor can feel, when he goes into
stricken family, that he is free 10 use
as much of the serum as he deems
necessary. The doctor adds, however,
that he believes it will be more ex-
pensive for the state to buy the anti
toxin than to make it.
DR.. Henry called upon Governor
Stokes recently and explained his
views in detail. While the governor
has heretofore beenlmorc or less OPP
posed TO the bill. before DIR. Henry
left him he became huite enthusiastic
in its favor.
At present, DR.. Henry told the
governor, Il doctor, when called TO a
family stricken WI h diphtheria, he
has to take into consideration the
mans means in treating the case. The
physician hesitatea-in using antitoXin
as freely as he might because he
knows the man, perhaps, cannot stand
the expense. 1t is the object OF the
bill to do away with all this feeling so
that doctor, in treating diphtheria.
can use us much of the serum rs he
chooses without fear of bankrupting
his patient, 1t is the opinion of DR..
Henry that. with the free use of anti
toxin, diphtheria can be almost entire
ly wiped out of the state.
