ALIENISTS' TESTIMONY.
Interesting Pamphlet by DIR. Britton
ID. Evans.

Interesting Pamphlet by DR. Britton
u. Evans.
We are in receipt of pamphlet by
Britton D. Evans, M. D., Medical Di-
rector, New Jersey Hospital, Morris
Plains, N. j., on the Court Testimony
Of Alienists read at the sixty-tifth an
nual meeUing Of the American Medico-
Psychological association, Atlantic
City, N. j y, June IA, 1909.
DR.. Evans sets forth his views of the
subject in comprehensive manner
and sums up his conclusions as fol-
lows -
"The manner in which ordinary
witnesses as we'll as experienced wit
nesses are badgered in court BY pugna-
cious and aggressive lawyers, occasion
ally makes it necessary that witness
must either be combatiye or submiS-
sive. If he be submissive the public
and the jury form conclusion that
he is poorly equipped, not compent and
not qualified to testify in the capacity
of an expert. Many members of his
profession look upon him in scorn and
he is humiliated in the eyes of the
public. If, on the other hand, the ex-
pert witness stands firmly by his con-
victions, insists that his statements
shall not be disturbed and misrepre-
sented, and when there is an attempt
made to force him into false posi-
tion, he frankly, openly and energetic
cally combats it, there will always be
found persons who will criticise him
as being disposed to deliver lecture
inclined to be an advocate or to show
bias.
81 contend that it is the duty of the
expert witness to use every possible
means at his command to properly un
derstand the work which is before
him in any given cause with which he
is associated, to set forth in plain En-
glish his opinions and to stand firmly
upon his convictions, fearless Of criti
cism and fearless of the often unfair
aggressive or pugnacous attacks o
the examining counsel"

RAILROAD RU-

McAdoo Interests Seek Right
Of Way Across Muchmore
Estate, East Summit.
SURVEYS TO MoRRISToWN

From the Newark " News we learn
that although no official confirmation
could be secured from Pennsylvania
railroad officials. it has been learned
from an authoritative source that
agents for the Westinghouse Electric
company have entered into negotia-
tions with the T. B. Miller Coal and
Lumber company, in East Summit,
with view to securing right of way
through the George V. Muchmore
property for the proposed McAdoo
tunnel line, which, it is declared, is to
be extended across this state, with
Philadelphia as its goal.
The Westinghouse company con-
ducts the real estate deals of the tun-
mel company. The 7. B. Miller COM
pany has leased the Muchmore prop
erty for number Of years, and has an
option to purchase the estate. The
lease expires October 1st next, and the
railroad interests are seeking to ac-
quire the property at that time. 1t is
understood that If the lumber COM
pany refuses to purchase, Mr.. Much
more will be asked to sell the right of
way to the railroad agents.
1t is declared, however, from sources
that are reliable, that the officials be-
hind the extension of the tunnel line
are quietly instigating through their
agents the purchase of property neces-
sary to the right of way for new
road.
1t is known that two surveys have
been made through this section by en-
gineers belonging to the McAdoo in
| tereStS.
The Muchmore property lies along
Park avenue on the south side of the
Lackawanna railroad tracks in East
Summit, and a station is contemplated
for that point, it is asserted, and an
other station at the Canoe Brook
Country CLUB grounds. From the
latter spot the tracks, it is declared
are to be extended across the meadows
to Morristown.
The route surveyed provides for the
lnew line tracks to cross under the
Lackawanna on the north side of Sum
/ nit to the Canoe Brook club grounds
1t is asserted that of the two sur
veys, one has been made from the tun
mel of the Pennsylvania railroad out
through Newark, the survey continu
ing to Iryington, Millburn, Summit
Morristown, Dover and on to Philadel
phia. The other survey from Easl
Summit branches off through Felt
vile, New Providence, BernardsvAlt
and thence to Morristown. The first
survey is the approved one, it is de
clared.
1t is said that the line contemplated
is to be a high power electric road
which while a Pennsylvania railroad
offshoot, will not interfere with the
main line, but will tap this section Of
the state where the Pennsylvania ha:
heretofore not secured an entrance.
Railroad officials are reticent about
discussing tie project, or to admit
that any advances had been made tC
Muchmore or Miller. They would not
deny, however, that such a step was
contemplated, nor would they speak
| "A oxzto
sion of the tunnel road.
The surveys were made in Morris
town year or so ago.
1t is also stated that men in posi-
tion to know predict that trains ovel
the Morristown & Erie road will lane
passengers at the Church street, N. Y.
terminal within an hour inside O.
three years.
