Professor Robert Leonhard, dean OF the faculty
OF Jurisprudence al the University of Bresau, de-
livered lecture last night the 2O7th meeting Of
the Society of Medical Jurisprudence in the Acad-
emy of Medicine, at No. II West 43d street. The
topic Of his lecture Some Chapters Concern
ing Physicians in the New Civil Code OF Germany"
The professor spoke first on the influence of the
insanity OF person on the capacity to manage
his own affairs. and second the character Of the
agreement made between a physician and his
client.
He said that he believed IN establishing closer
relations between American and German lawyers
so that the differences as We'll as the smilarities
between American and German law might be
studied thus enabling each nation better 10 under
stand and more fully appreciate the genius of the
other The speaker then compared the laws in
America governing persons Of unsound mind with
these in Germany and in England
Discussing the contract between the nhvsician n
and his client. Professor Leonhard said CONTRACT
can be an agreement for a remuneration given for
a certain period, as il can be an agreement for a
certain work
We allow no one said Professor Lombard 10
regard contract between person and his pbvsi-
elan as mere act Of friendship not strfrIv bind
ing for The two parties. However, the German
recognizes the fact that a difference between
lngher and lower services exists regulating IN
dineFent way the contracts about these services
especially about the terminations OF agreemArts
involving services"

EVANS DENIES CRUELTY
alleged III Treatment of Mayor
Beatty Refutcd by Tha7c 1Henist.

Trenton. Oct l4-The Assembly investigating
committee to-day resumed its inquiry into the cir
cumstances attending the death of Jacob II. Beat
" at the State Hospital for the Insane at Morris
Plains. 1t was alleged by previous witnesses be-
fore the committee that Beatty's death was due
to III treatment received at the hands of attend
ants of the institution
DR.. Britton d. Evans the medical director Of the
hospital, who testified the Thaw trial in New
York. was called as a witness and asserted that
Beatty had received every attention the hands
of the hospita! authorities He said Beatty was
eNcitablc and had destructive temperament re-
quiring constant watching prevent him from
doing himself personal injury.
DR.. Horseford. who examined Beatty found that
a touch on his side him pain. and he reported
TO DR.. Evans that he feared that Beatty had been
roughly handled before he was brought to the hos
ptal. An examination disclosed no fractured ribs
but it was decided to put adhesive plasters his
side.
DR.. Evans thought that the testimony of Dr. Van
Syckei that Beattys ribs had been fractured by
attendants based merely on hearsay. and was
therefore unreliable. As showing his lack Of faith
in the statement of Beatty himself. DR.. Evans said
that the patient had told him that in his home
he was violently thrown to the floor by Dr. Van
Syckel. who administered hypOdermic Injections
which Beatty described an attempt to poison
him.
DR. Evans was asked about the Thaw trial and
the criticism that had been made Of his leaving the
hospital act a an expert. DR.. Evans said there
no cause for any charge against him. lie said
that he away only two nights during the trial
He attended To his Morris Plains duties from
four to eight hours day. The hospital had not
suffered in the least by his outside work He had
the full consent of his board of managers before
he went into the trial.
Mr.. Backes asked II the law prohibiting tho sale
Of intoxicating liquors within two miles OF the In
stitution was not violated. DR. Evans admitted Il
had been. He learned about six months ago that
grocers were coming the grounds pedds
beer and soft drinks. Beer and whskey bottles had
been found in the grounds He took the matter
up and had written 10 the dealers warning thcm
against the practice. and special officer had been
