thing Of a scandal. Il is a luxury
which only the rich can afford and
which gives very little or no assist
ance To the jury in arriving at YER
dict The evils of the system were
emphasized in the Thaw case which
recently ended in a mistrial in New
York. The prosecution had a num-
Der of experts. stars of the first mag
nitude in the medical heavens. who
swore one way and doubtless rendered
bills Of size corresponding in their
eminence. while a brilliant constella-
ton attached themselves to the for

cal questions which We're addressed to
these distinguished gentlemen were
said To contain more than l.. 900 words
an amount Of matter equal TO ten
pages like this one. All this is a re-
