DEFENDS THE DRUGGISTS.
Deerfield Man Resents Statement of
Kansas City Physician.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
In last Tuesdays State Journal there
appeared an article which feel to be
very unjust and uncalled for to this
extent. that a doctor makes some very
strong statements against druggists
which may have a tendency to beitt1e
an honorable profession among people
who do not stop to consider the con-
tention of the merits of the case as
outlined by this supposed authority.
1 refer to the Voiles poisoning case,
wherein a DR.. Coe makes an unwar-
ranted and uncalled for attack upon
druggists for selling corrosive Subl1-
mate He says ST can not understand
why druggists who sell corrosive sub
Innate are not sent to prison or fined
heavily Being a druggist and know
ing the duties and responsibilities de-
volving upon a druggist, feel very
deeDly this direct insult to the profess
sion. I feel, however, that the drug
gists are themselves partly at fault in
keeping silence and saying nothing to
refute such statements when they are
so commonly made in connection with
newspaper reports of poisoning cases.
If DR. Coe is a physician of any knoWI-
edge he must surely be aware of the
laws governing the sale of corrosive
and he knows that poisons
have their uses as well as a thousand
of other articles that may prove a
means of deStructibility among the hu-
man family The sale of corrosive
subIimate is getting to be almost as
common as that of carbolic acid, ow-
ing to the extensive use of the mer-
curry salt in insecticides. There are
many formulas calling for this poison
i'll common use. One that has been
widely published and is supposed to
have originated from the agricultural
college calls for two ounces of corro-
sive sublimate to the pint of turpen-
tine Still, according to the opinion of
the eminent CD DR.. Coe the druggist
who fills such a recipe should be
Jailed. DR.. Coe knows that no drug
gist would knowingly sell or give away
any article of q poisonous nature if
thew could foresee that it would prove
4 means of destruction. While I might

ing. Abandoning his sham of insanity,
he paced his cell restlessly, asking anx-
iously if there was danger or a MOB.
Then he read his Bible while walking
Ready to Tell All.
Finally, apparently overcome by emo
ton, he threw the Bible in corner OF
the cell and called the turnkey, declaring
that he was willing to tell all.
In the presence of Chief of Police
Shaughnessy, District Attorney Nelson
and Turnkey Foye, Johnson said that
the deed was the result of sudden i'm
pulse. He had watched, through the bed
room window, the little girl and her sister
undress at bedtime on different occasions
On the fateful night about 10 o'clock,
shortly after the children had fallen
asleep, he raised the sash and snatched
little Annie from the bed, dragged her
through the window and knocked her on
the head with his fist, rendering her I'M
conscious, so there would be no cutlery.
He then took her to the railroad bridge,
and after beating her on the head until
life was extinct, threw the body into the
lake.
Johnson said he did not want to make
a detailed confession because he wanted
to be on his way to Waupun to avoid
mob violence He said he would make a
written confession after he had been
lodged in prison.
Testimony at the inquest was conflict
ing in that one physician was of the
opinion that the child had been criminally
assaulted, while another expressed an
opposite view.

maximum punishment melted out to muir

johnson once served a term In the peni-
tertiary and several years ago he was
put in the Mendoza hospital for the IN
sane, after he had assaulted a. little girl
at Brownsville, Wis.
johnson lived but a few doors from the
Lemberger home. The father of the muir
dered girl told the police that he and
johnson had had a quarrel once, but hest
tated to charge the crime to him. 1t was
largely because no other solution offered
that the police held Johnson.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 14-Seventy-

facing expulsion as the result of their
alleged membership in high school fra
ternities in violation of the laws or the
state of Kansas.
The board of education and Principal

They believe the boys are again active

Similar action was taken by the
board in 1909 when about forty boys
were expelled. They were reinstated,

agreement to disband and not take any
