The Opinion in the Collins Case.

So much interest continues to be
manifested in the case of Mrs. Carrie
Collins that The TIMES gives space this
week to the majority opinion of the
supreme court, which reversed her con.
viction and granted new trial upon
grounds stated below, the opinion being
written by Judge Ostrander:
1t was not supposed that Leach
man, whom it is charged respondent
murdered, died from other than nat
ural causes. He was attended by a
physician from October IA until Oc-
tober 23, when he died. A post-mor-
tenn examination was had, not because
I it was supposed that he had been
poisoned, but to learn the extent of
certain bodily injuries received by
him at the hands of other men short
ly before he became i'll. Both the
antemortem and postmortem evidence
indicated death from pneuminia. His
attending physician, who assisted at
the autopsy, certified that the cause
of his death was double pneumonia.
He so testified at the preliminary ex-
animation in this case, although at
that time he knew it was claimed that
the chemist had found arsenic in the
|organs sent him for examination. At
the trial, upon cross-examination, he
gave the following testimony.
81 also testified at the preliminary
examination, the sanfe as I have here,
that there was nothing In Leachman's
general appearance, from my clinical
knowledge or history of the case, dur
ing the time was treating him, from
the 18th day of October up until the
time of his death, that caused me to
treat him for arsenical poisoning; /
also testified that from the time the
first indication of pneumonia appear
ed there was no evidence of arsenical
poisoning, and l didn't treat him for
any. And I say so now. I think if
pneumonia hadn't set in, Leachman
would have recovered"
Five other physicians, one of whom
had been attending Leachman and
was present at the autopsy, called by
the prosecution, gave testimony sup
porting the views and conclusions of
the attending physician and affirming
that If no arsenic had been found in
the stomach of Leachman by the
chemist, death must be attributed to
pneumonia and gastritis. The post
mortem discovered three-fourths of

liquor which caused him to become
intoxicated.

common motive was shown or inti-
mated. Whether it should be found
that respondent administered arsenic
to Wright and to Leachman or to
either depended upon, differences
which the jury might draw from the
evidence admitted. In admitting the
testimony the trial judge stated:
II will say to the jury now, in the
outset, that the only purpose for
which this testimony can be received
is for the purpose of showing the pre-
sence of arsenic in the house. That
is all it is received for. No other
purpose, and you will disregard every
other purpose at this time unless
further instructed
In the charge, the jury was told to
consider the evidence only for the
purpose of determining whether
there was or was not arsenic there at
the residence of respondent prior to
and at the time of the sickness and
death of George Leachman."
The presence of arsenic in the re-
mains of Wright had no legitimate
tendency to prove that respondent
had arsenic in her possession during
the illness of Leachman. Undoubted-
ly the giving of wrong reasons for ad-
mitting testimony is not prejudicial
error If the testimony is for any rea-
son admissible, and the jury is prop
erly instructed concerning the use to
be made Of it. 1t is claimed here
that this evidence was admissible to
prove CD intent, CD absence of mis-
take or accident, and CD indentity
of the person charged. If it was, for
any of these purposes, admissible,
question which wa do not consider,
the error committed was not, for that
reason, cured, and was clearly pre-
judicial.
The conviction is set aside, a new
trial granted, and the respondent re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff
of Shiawassee county, to be dealt with
according to law.

For County Treasurer-H. r. Dun.
ham.

Harry R. Dunham, whole souled, big
hearted, capable and honest. Those of
us who know him best lose sight of the
farmer in the wholesomefriend. Born.
in the village of Ovid, Clinton Co., Feb.
12, 1871. he moved with his parents to
Fairfield township to the farm he is
now upon 81 years ago and his words
81 always have been and in the future
expect to remain republican" is but
phrase characteristic of Mr.. Dunham in
his intense loyalty and ardor as one of
the stickers and workers for the repub-
lican party. We have. no long line of
various official positions from Justice to
Judge of Probate we can point our
finger to with pride and say, "See how
we'll he has filled them" No, but Fair
field republicans haven't lost sight OF
the endorsement unanimously given
him last spring at their caucus and to-
day as unit they are more inclined
than ever to believe that If justice were,
meeted out, Mr.. Dunham would be
treasurer Of Shiawassee Co. next year.
He has asked for it in a manly way, and
kindly requests the republican voters
of Shiawassee Co. to back up the re-
quest by their solid endorsement at the
ballot box. That's all. How otherwise
should an honest man dor 1t is easily
understood; there is no hedging; no
quibbling; an honest, courteous and ef-
ficient gentleman of Fairfield township
asks you for recognition. Surely the
time is ripe for Fairfeld's turn. Now,
honor bright. what do you says Better
yet, what will youldo about it.
