DIR. PITCHER IS
 FREED IN CASE OF NAL PRACTICE
State Has Insufficient Evi- dence to Convict Bridge
 port Doctor

The charge of manslaughter against pr. August F. Richter. the East Side physician. charged with performing an illegal operation, was nolled in the criminal superior court this after noon This action was announced after States Attorney Hudson and Prosecutor Delaney had conference with Judge Tuttle
 It was charged that on November 25 last, pr. Richter performed an opera ton on Emma Peck of Norwalk. She was taken i'll shortly after and died December 31. It was alleged that Dr. Richter was responsible but the wom- an refused on her deathbed to in- criminate anybody. The reason giv- en for the nolle today was insufficient evidence. Inasmuch as the victim of the alleged operation refused to make a statement it was almost im- possible for the state to procure any witnesses who could connect Dr. Rich ter directly with the crime
 pr. Richter was in court this morn ing in company with two women. He appeared to be nervous but bright ened up as soon as he heard the de- cision. The jury had been selected when the nolle was decided upon It required over an hour to fill the box because there was delay in getting onezman- It was finally necessary to send a sheriff into the street to pro- cure juror. Attorneys DeForest & Klein represented Dr. Richter
