United Doctors
In Court
Prosecution Seeks to Postpone the
Trial as Long as Possible.

The case of State against DR.. f. D.
Walsworth, (chief physician to United
Doctors Institute) and others was
called on the docket of the city court
this morning and the representative
of the United Doctors came forward
and announced that they were ready
and anxious for trial, whereby they
would have an opportunity to estab-
lish the fact that they had complied
with the law in every way, but the
prosecution Immediately asked for
continuance for fifteen Gays, as they
did not have their evidence ready.
The Judge said that to delay this case
would mean an injury to the doctors
business which continuance he would
refuse to grant and that he would set
the case for Friday of this week at y
o'clock. DIR. WalSWorth says the reas-
on the prosecution has not been aple
to get his evidence ready is because
he has none to get ready and didn
have any in the first place except the
word of some one who either knew
nothing of the facts in the case or
who wilfully prevented the same. Inc
United Doctors Institute has never
employed a physician who was not
legally registered in the state of Kan
sas and that same certificate has been
on file at the county clerks of1ee, a
book which is open to Inspection at
any time to the public, and there was
absolutely no excuse for the INFAMOUS
manner in which DR.. WalSworth was
arrested and thrown in jail. this would
not have appeared quite so malicious
had not the arrest been timed as it
was to occur late Saturday night,
when the chances were excellent for
him, an innocent man, one who had
never been under arrest before, to lay
in jail until Monday morning. For
tunately for the doctor, this did not
occur as his friends came forward
Immediately and signed his bond and
he was released in just forty minutes
from the time of his arrest Many of
the doctors patients are greatly in
censed over this unwarranted prose-
cution and several have announced
their intention of continuing his treat
ment if they have to go to the county
Jail to get it. Others have pledged
themselves to go his bond at any time
and as at least one of them is bank
president, it doesn't seem likely that
any one will move the United Doctors
Institute over to Jail for the present
One man said this morning that he
believed he had tried most of the ply
sicians in Topeka during the last ten
years, for stomach trouble, and that
he had not had anything from any
of them that would even give him re-
lief from the pain, but that under the
treatment at the United DOCTORS In
stitute, he had improved from the start
and that he is taking no medicine al
present and considers himself sound
and well, he is one of the men who
announced his readiness to go on the
doctors bond for any amount he is
good for, and people who know him
saw that would be no little amount
If any one thinks that this little perse-
cution is going to ruin the business
at the United Doctors Institute he
should go over to the institute and see
the many patients waiting their turr
TO see the doctor. and talk to some OF
the ones who are already under treat
1nent there. He will immediately
change his mind and say if anything
II has helped their business.
