CLEAN CUT AND DECISIVE


of the cases in which he has testified.
CLEAN CUT AND DECISIVE
The thrashing out of the question re-
garding the admission of rebuttal tes-
timony occupied the greater part Of
the days session in Judge LaH-lor's 5
court and was productive Of some hot
words between the attorneys and q
argument and presentation of legal au-
thorit!es which occupied most OF the
courts time. Little progress was
made with the actual examination OF
the witness but what little was made
was clear cut and decisive Nicholas
swoTe positively tkat he remembered
his talk with Gallagher ct Mowrvs s
hail the Saturday preceding the
Monday when the trolley franchise or
dinance was passed BY the board of
supervisors. Gallagher, he repeated,
made him the direct offer OF $4,000
for his vote favoring the franchise
Nicholas IS Still on the witness stand
uader redirect cross examination by
Earl Rogers OF the defense, and the
last hour Of the session yesterday aft
ernoon brought out more bitter qulb-
bling among the members OF the oppos-
Ing counsel. Heney accused Calhouns
attorneys OF openly attempting to rat
tie the witness and mfsconstrue his
statements. and fought bitterly to pre-
vent the reading Of portions of testi-
mory in which lie charged the context

with the malicious purpose OF confus-
ing him and forcing him to make false
declarations
BARRETT JOINS CALHOUN STAFF
AS has been generally understood
from appearances for several days.
John J. Barrett, who assisted IN the
defense OF Eugene E. Schmitz, the
ooodling former mayor. has been at
tached to Calhoun as the seventh at
torney of record connected with his
court staff. His employment in the
case was announced yesterday by A.
A Moore, the senior member of CAL
houn's counsel, and his presence at
Calhoun's side went far toward con-
hrrning the general belief that an al
lance has been formed between Cal
houn and the man whom he has SO
often charged with having held him
up Barrett occupied the. second
place at the table of the defense yes
terday, and several times took
hand in the arguments.
Just prior to adjournment last night
Assistant District Attorney Heney
suggested to Judge Lawlor that the
regular court hours be shortened He
said that three hours at the morning
session and three hours at the after
noon session were more than the at
torneys, witnesses and jurors could
stand, and argued that with shorter
hours better time could be made in the
proceedings because all the parties con
nected with the case would be in fresh
er condition He suggested that new
hours should be adopted, taking from
10 O'Clock until 1890 and from .
o'clock until 4:30 In the afternoon.
The matter was taken under advise
ment by Judge Lawlor.

of It he used in the purchase OF shares
in the American national bank. OF
which 1888. valued at s21o, 900. stood IN
the name Of Miss Crabtree.
The suit was in regard to $50 Of the
shares. The widow of Fretwell. Mrs.
Annie S. Eretwell, claimed that these
shares. worth $4,000. and dividends
which have accumulated, worth s2o.544.

claim, Judge Murasky found.
Mrs. Fretweil said her husband

belonging TO Lotta Crabtree. The testi-
mony showed. however, that the la nd

! Since writing the above an article
on Some Facts About Leprosy," has
appeared on page 375 of the Sep
TENDER, 1909. "American Review OF
Reviews" to parts of which res
pectfully invite your attention:
The reference to leprosy I'm the
Bible. and in certain popular works
4 OF fiction. such as Ben Hur," have
! engendered a great dread of the dis.
ease; on the other hand. there has
been very little said or done to
check, or lessen the popular preju-
dice in this direction, which has
been too often. shared by physicians,
. who, not having devoted special at
tention to the matter. accept
thoughtlessly the general verdict"
According to DR.. Buckley, although
the word "leprosy'' strikes more
terror into the heart OF its victim.
or suspected victim and also into
he mind of the average layman. or
even physicians, than that of almost
any other disease known" yet to
those who are well Informed at
bears no comparison to either can.
Ger or tuberculosis in the mental
distress which It should cause in
those afflicted, while many other
diseases, should inspire far more
dread of contagion.'
Leprosy is considered incurable:
SO for long time was tuberculosis.
The cure of tuberculosis leaves the
scars of tubercules and LESSONS, and
Is considered complete upon the dis.
appearance Of the bacillus. Treat
ment Of ,leprosy, as given In Hawaii,
has caused, and is causing, the heal
ing OF LESSONS and Of tubercules and
the disappearance Of leprous baciili
In SO far, at least, that 1t is impossi-
BILE after treatment at times to To-
cate them. Such cases are, however,
not considered complete cures here,
'hcush oohV'iblVs So ItkdIutu tISe-
where. The reason lies in the dis
tinction between leprosy and tuber-
culosis. Leprosy after apparent cure
generally recurs in the patient. Tu-
berculosis generally does not. This
explains the necessity of continued
segregation of leprosy.
Medical authority is now practi-
cally unanimous that the disease is
not hereditary; this also is the ex.
perience of Hawaii.
Though many more facts such as
above given could be presented to
show the brighter side of the lepro-
sy problem 1t does not appear neces-
sary to extend this paper for this
purpose. Moreover, In one evening
and in one brief paper to eliminate
the universal dread of leprosy the
kind of dread I have been speaking
of is more than one could reason
ably expect. II the disease Is conta-
gious the dread of leprosy undoubt-
eddy has been factor In the pre-
vention of the spread of the -lisease
In the past, but the presence of this
dread has had deleterious effect as
well. Suppose tuberculosis were the
subject of the same kind of dread,
could intelligent isolation and treat
ment be given. Would not the ma
jority of the afflicted do us lepers
now do, conceal themselves in dark
corners and consider themselves and
be considered by others as outcasts
thus running the prospects of fair
and efficient handling.
Under such circumstances what pro-
lection would there be against the
spread of the disease. Fortunately
