Getting out of the plague hospital
is something like getting out of q
compartments. First we wash our
hands, then swish our boots round in
tubs of d~isinfectant. Next an outside
coat comes OFF. and is left behind in
one room to be sterilized, Then sub
Innate solution is sprayed over the
rest Of us. The doctor. having been

suit in the outer room. wash my

There are two Russian saritars and
three Chinese always on duty in the
hospital. and a total staff Of twenty
Russians and thirty Chinese doing this
particular work. They do not stay in

necessary, but visit them frequently.

prosecutor in the Draper case, was
last year appointed to the Whatcom
county bench. and qualified as the
youngest superior judge in the state.
Draper came to trial defiant and UNI
disturbed. He remained in that de-
meanor until Morris outlined the
states case. The prosecutor said he
from Tenascat's house Draper pulled
Huff off the horse. hit him with a rock
and stabbed him in the head with a
knife. After that he dragged the
body to the river, according to the
prosecutor.
That made Draper rather serious
for a moment, and then he treasured
himself with the conclusion that Nor
ris would have to produce an eyewit-
ness to the tragedy and the knife and
skull to prove the allegation. Natur-
ally. Draper felt interested in how this
was to be accomplished. Morris DEM
onstrated shortly to the jury's entire
satisfaction.
He put an Indian named Mischall
Charley on the stand. and Charley. in
broken English, told how he had lain
in the grass and watched Draper car
ry out the CHASTITY operation. He saw
the body thrown in the river.
The next witness had nothing to say
but the testimony given clinched the
case for the prosecution. Morris
busted himself with a valise for a mo-
ment and then Strengthened up before
the prisoner. In his hands he held
extended a. bare skull with a knife
driven into it. He dramatically de-
clared this to be the skull of HUH and
the knife the one Draper had killed
him with.
For a moment every eye in the
room was fixed on the gruesome ex-
hibit and then they turned to Draper.
The prisoner gazed in obviously super
%stitious terror on this accusing vista
ton from the grave.
On the stand he stuck to his story
Of an accidental drowning. and declar-
ed he had not had a knife all that
summer. The state was ready with
evidence that this was false. Other
evidence was offered for the defense,
and Jeffrey made a strong argument,
but all the time that silent witness
with the knife sticking into the skull
sat there and demanded vengeance.
The verdict was guilty in short or
der. but lack of a known motiv for
the crime made it manslaughter. and
Draper went to prison under a sen
tence of fourteen years.
