Franklin's paper the statesman., 1910-03-05

There has ben so much favorable
comment upon the judicial acts OF
County Judge Dixon that we must
speak of this growing tendency of sim
pie folk to mark well their friends.
The great moneyed interests of the
country have good memory, but the
common people are more prone to for
get quickly and let impulse rather than
reason and interest guide them. From
the comment being made 1t would ap-
pear that Judge Dixon stands much
higher in the esteem of thinking citi.
zens as an upright judge and an able
lawyer than some who sit on the SUI
preme bench of the state. In fact, it
is common opinion that an exchange
OF places would be for the best inter
est of the commonwealth.

DOCTOR ENDS LIFE
AS WOMAN DIES
Suicide Follows Fatal Result
Of Illegal Operation.
FOUND LIFELESS IN HOUSE
Double Tragedy Startles New Ger
mantown, Pa, When Bodies Were
Discovered by Neighbor of Woman.

The bodies of DR.. Russell Campbell
and Mrs. Ira Morrison were found at
the home of the MorrisoYs in New
Germantown, Perry county;@Pa., Mon
day morning.
A neighbor discovered the body of
the woman lying across the front door
step, and further search revealed the
doctors body in his room.
Hasty examination showed that the
woman had died from internal hem
orrhages, resulting from an operation.
The theory is that DR.. Campbell per-
formed the operation some time dur
ing the night. and on discovering the
fatal result killed himself. His death
was due to cyanide of potassium.
DR.. Campbell was twenty-four years
old and a graduate of the Medico-Chi-
rurgical college in Philadelphia. He
was a son of DR.. Hans Campbell, a
well-known physician of Path Valley,
Franklin county. A few months ago
the young man went to New German
town and set himself up in practice,
taking room at the home of Ira Nor
rison, a local dealer in cattle.
Morrison went to Dry Run, fourteen
miles away, on Saturday to attend
picnic and to buy cattle, and remained
over Sunday. He FASTENED home
when notified of the tragedy.
About II o'clock at night David Kra-
mer, neighbor, thought he heard
moaning in the Morrison house as he
passed, but as no light was visible
he concluded he was mistaken. At 6
o'clock in the morning, Luther Ray
passed the Morrison home and saw
two bare feet protruding from the half
open front door. Running up the steps,
he was Mortified to find the body of
Mrs. Morrison in her night. clothes
and bathed in blood. She wts dead.
Hurrying on into the house, Ray found
the body of the young doctor in his
room, dead on the floor. Beside him
was a partly empty vial of cyanide of
potassium.
and his shirt was spattered with
blood. The instruments with which
the operation had been performed on
Mrs. Morrison were found in such con-
dition as to leave no doubt of what
had taken place.
A coroner's jury was hastily sum-
moned, and word was sent to Dis
trict Attorney Rice, who fastened to
the scene from New Bloomsfield. The
jury found a verdict to the effect that
Mrs. Morrison had died from the ef-
fects of an operation. and that DR..
Campbell had died from poison taken
with suicidal intent, as a result of the
disastrous outcome of the operation.
Mrs. Morrison was thirty-five years
old. DR.. Campbell had been pracicing
at New Germantown only about six
months. During all of that time he
had boarded with the Morrisons.
