SomervllIe, \. j., Nov. 10.-An in
teresting legal question is the sequel
today OF the autopsy performed last
night on tie body Of Robert Simpson,
the hypnotic subject whom Arthur
Everson, hypnotist failed ito restore
after placing him in a trance The au-
topsy disclosed that Simpsons death
was due 10 rupture of the aorta. To
just what measure of responsibility, if
any, Everson will finally be held by
law is question which is puzzling le-
gal experts.
Eight physicians assisted in the au-
topsy, and they issued a signed state
ment at its conclusion saying that
death was due to rupture Of the aorta,
the trunk line Of the arterial system.
This indicated, according to the Cor
oner that death primarily was due to
natural causes, and that the man pro-
bibly had been suffering for some
practically ins antaneous and evident
ly occurred just as Simpson was COM
Ing out o. the trance.
Whether the strain he was put
under when Everson stood on his
body during its rigidity caused the
rupLufe cannot be ascertained.
The result of the autopsy will mole
than likely bring about Everson's re-
lease on bail

The sugar scandal has finally as
sumed such proportions that Presi-
dent Taft and his cabinet believe il to
merit their special attention. Public
sentiment is not satisfied with the
payment OF the two million dollars
which the trust has been forced TO dis
gorge, and public sentiment IN a mat
ter OF such importance is not to be
lightly considered.
The sugar trust has been systemati-
cally robbing the government for
many years. The weighing frauds
have been practiced by mpleyes of
the trust occupying minor positions.
OF their own volition il is inconceiva-
bic that they would deliberately cheat
the government. Such practices would
be profitless and dangerous They
were undobte lily serving officials high
er up, and public sentiment demands
the punishment of the real culprits.
Two mi lion dollars probably fall
far short of the amount the sugar
trust has actually stolen from the gov
eminent, but even if that sum ey coed
ed its profits in the weighing frauds
the trust would cheerfully pay it to
secure immunity finn or minal prose-
cution of its guilty officers and agents.
1t is iron bars which malefactors of
the sugar trust stripe fear, and few
sentences to Imprisonment at hard la
Dor would have a more wholesome eff.
iect than even confiscatory fines.
But Is it possible tc send the thieves
OF the sugar trust to Jail? That is the
problem which President Taft and his
cabinet are considering, and they
must realize that the failure of the
government to punish the officials re-
sponsble for weighing frauds will re-
fleet discredit upon the entire prose :
cution. Five directors of trust have
been indicted. When two of them
plead the statute of limitations they
were upheld by a federal Judge who de-
clded that the crimes charged agaips.
them had gone unpublished SO long
that prosecution is now impossible.
This decision is being appealed, and
it is stated by the government that its
hands will be tied if the higher court
sustains it. Mr.. Stimson, the special
agent of the government who investi-
gated tile sugar frauds, says that he
has few facts that would be submit
ted as legal evIdeLce, covering the Pc
Rod for which testimony may be in
troduced, although "there is plenty of
moral proof of guilt"
The sugar trust has for years been
one of the most corrupt and corrupt
ing corporations in the United States,
but has enjoyed immunity from pun
ishment, for which there is every rea.
son to believe the protec ton afforded
by high public officials has been re-
sponslble, The sincerity and earnest
ness of the Taft administration in its
prosecution of the powerful monopoly
has been questioned, and for that rea-
son the next step taken by the govern
ment will be watched with interest.
