Devine, trained nurse who first

The Unique Theory.
The theory of euthanasia is the only
motive so far advanced in connection
with the alleged crime. 1t was only q
few months ago that prominent phil
anthropist advocated the passage of a
law giving people authority to cut
short the life of a person who was
suffering from a painful and mortal
disease or injury. From humanitar-
ian standpoint. the proposition was
generally endorsed Almost the sole
objection to 1t was raised on the
ground that it would be abused and a
jury of medical experts would have
to be summoned in each case.
Did Mrs. Wallau, who was always
spoken of as a loving and devoted
daughter. resort to euthanasia to end
the misery of her mother, who hourly
prayed for death? Experts say that
IL ever there was a case where eutha-
nasia was justified it was Mrs. Binge's.
A cancerous growth was literally eat
ing through her whole system. And,
further than this. several of New
York's ablest physicians. including
DIR. Abraham jacob and DR.. William
T. Bull. had passed upon the case, and
had declared that it was only a matter
of days before the patient would die.
II the gatherings of lawyers and
physicians, witnesses and jurors, who
have attended the preliminary hear
ings are any criterion of New York's
sentiment, public sympathy is almost
entirely with Mrs. Wallau. If the
prisoner shortened her mothers days
of frightful pain, public opinion seems
already to have excused her. and. in a
great many Individual instances, goes
so far as to actually justify her.

WHAT NEW YORK WANTS TO
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CASE.
Snecinl TO the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, Feb. 2S.-Were old Mrs.
Binge's days of torturing invalidism
shortened by poison administered by
a sympathetic hand-an act of mercy
that the patient daily begged from
daughter. doctor and friend?
This is the question that has fas-
tened suspicion on Mrs. Binge's low
ingly devoted daughter, Mrs. Lottie
Wallau, and placed before her the
prospect of a trial for murder. This
question. involving the oft-discussed
theory of euthanasia, appears to be
the only motive for the alleged crime
that can be advanced. While the
dead woman possessed wealth esti-
mated at several million dollars, the
authorities admit that mercenary mo-
tives for a murder are lacking.
The peculiar circumstances and
facts surrounding the case promise to
make it one of the most celebrated
with which the courts of New York
have had to deal in long time. While
it lacks the sensational features to
rivet the attention of the public at
large, the developments up to the
present time would indicate that it
contains elements that will be closely
watched by the legal and medical pro-
LESSONS throughout the country.

The wallau and Binge families are

overcharges. II is said that these
overcharges amounted to nearly 81
600, 1000, and that he received $1,000
600 for his services. His chief case
was on the importation of hat bands.
The government held that they were

Binge successfully maintained that
they be admitted as ribbons. upon
