Those Good Roads

At the beginning of his career as
Chief executive OF the State, Governor
Croihcrs ne u luuced with a large de-
gree ui imprcssyeness scheme for
constructing good roads IN the various
counties oi the State In response to
the Governors recommendation. the
legislature which assembled IN Jan
uary, 1908. passed a State road law and
authorized 4 S5.ooo.ooo bonded loan TO
pay for the roads. The Governor APP
pointed a road commission, with one
OF III, personal friends. residing in his
own county As chairman ol the com
mission at an annual salary OF 81. 500.
No great amount OF timc was lost in
getting the managerial system III shape
and the official salaries agoing But
there does not seem tu have been much
else aguing except the salaries. Near
~ two years have cxpircd and practi-
cally nothing has been accomplished IN

TESTIMONY BECOMES SHAMEFUL
Leaders in Medical Profession De-
clare Money Buys Any Opinion
Wanted.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-In an ad-
dress before the Medico-Legal So
ciety at it's annual dinner last night.
DR.. Algernon T. Bristow of Brook
Ign attacked expert medical testi-
mony which has become so common
at murder trials in this country. He
declared that the readiness of many
physicians to testify to what lawyers
desired has reduced society to a
state Of anarchy"
AS a remedy. he suggests that the
state appoint a board, or commits
sion of alienists, who may be picked
by judges when needed at trials, but
who shall receive no pay from the
persons involved. During his al
dress in which he was supported by
Clark Bell. Dr. Bristow said
ono man can be sane. then in
sane, and then sane again with the
rapidity to which these experts tes-
tify. 1t is merely a question OF how
much money is paid for the testi-
mony. This is practically worth
less. but out of it has come the ex-
cuse for an unwritten law. A brain
storm will account for any sort of
crime This was demonstrated in the
Thaw trials and the Hams trial. We
have come to point where the
! courts are recognizing a certain sort
of crime as legitimate. and it mere
! ~ means that murder is being
iegitimatized This is anarchy.
What is true in one case is true in
another, and if there is money
enough to secure expert testimony
one can excuse his crime on the plea
of brainstorm'
Clark Bell said:
Expert medical testimony has
fallen so low and especially so in the
Thaw trial as to put the profession
to the blush. Medical testimony has
been practically annihilated, fact
which is reflection upon both the
bench and the bar. Justice Moore
of Maine has prepared a bill to
remedy expert testimony. and l be.
lieve that this society should take all
