Two of States Witnesses Not Allowed
to Give Testimony by Justice.

Two of States Witnesses Not Allowed
to Give Testimony by Justice.
Dr.. John Fawcett was held to the
district court at Grand Forks in $4,000
bond by Judge R. ]. Purcell The
states two important witnesses, DR..
O'Keefe and William Marble, were
shut off from testifying by the courts
ruling, but the defense decided to
wave examination without having the
state put in any further evidence.
One reason why the defense decided
to waive was that States Attorney
Wineman had intimated that in case
the justice failed to hold DR.. Fawcett
on the charge of performing an illegal
operation he would file all information
charging DR.. Fawcett with murder in
the second degree and would bring the
matter, directly before the district
court. now in session. DR.. Fawcett
furnished the $4,000 bond required and
was released from custody.
Judge Purcell held that disclosures
made to DR.. Okeefe by Lille
Schmochel were confidential and that
a physician cannot submit as evidence
anything told him by a patient unless
the patient gives him permission to
do so and the statement is an ante
norton declaration. The court held
that the alleged disclosures made by
Miss Schmochel to William Marble
were not admissible on the ground of
their being Eearsay evidence. Marble
testified at the coronor's inquest that
Miss Schmochel told him before her
death that DR.. Fawcett had performed
an illegal operation.
The case will be tried at the March
term of the district court and will
come up the last of the month.

Ward County Newspaper Men Will
Form Association.
Pursuant to call issued by the
Minot Press club, a number of Ward
county newspaper men gathered in
Minot and perfected an organization
to be known as the Ward County
Editorial association. The business
session was held at the Commercial
club rooms, where the editors spent
severa hours discussing matters of
moment to the newspaper business.
Sam H. Clark of the Minot Daily Re.
porter, was chosen chairman and
Leigh c. Carroll of the Carpio News
was elected secretary. The organiza.
ton is but temporary, it being
thought best to defer the making Of
permanent organization until the
next meeting. which will be held in
Minot next month, and at which time
it is hoped to have practically every
paper in the country represented.

1t is the intention of the Ward and

make every effort TO bring the state

year for their annual meeting, the
date to be May 13. The fact that
the Republican state convention is
to be held here on the day following
will bring majority of the newspa.

that the state association meeting
could be best held at that time.
