Backing up Mrs. Knights petition
that little Richard Smart be taken

In one of these Mrs. Emma X. Will
Its, practising physician in San Fran

Thelma Parker for seven years, gives
at length details of Smart's alleged
treatment of his wife and child.

indifference, coldness and an influence
over his wife that she said was al.

Thursday, is as follows:
4 have been a practising physician
in San Francisco Tor about Is years.
/ knew Thelma Parker, who married
Mr.. Smart, nearly seven years. had
an important interview With her and
her husband when they came up here
on their way to Europe. had heard
OF Thelma's being ill in the islands
and having pleurisy. told her mother,
Mrs. knight, when they came up to
San Francisco that very much want
ed to see her on this account, as she
had been my patient since first knew
her in 1908. Mr.. and Mrs. Smart ac-.
eordingly came in to see me. went
over her illness and found evidence of
pieurisy on the left side We had
X-ray plates taken of her chest, which
confirmed the physical findings. The
pleura was very much thickened and
she had slight involvement of the
apex on the right side. The latter
was a recent thing, because from my
previous examination had never de-
tected any trouble there. They told
me they were contemplating trip to
Paris. Thelma was then four months
with her second baby. / told
them that it was a very unwise thing
for them to make this trip; that in
asmuch as she had this p1eurisy fol-
lowing the birth Of her child and there
was still this trouble in the apex on
the right side, that the very best thing
for them was to stay quietly in some
portion of California where the climate
was suitable for that condition. / told
them that they would be very unwise
If they made the trip and that they
should not think of it; that Thelma
needed the most careful attention dur
ing her pregnancy that could possibly
be given her; that trip across the
continent in March and going into New
York in March, which was very bad
month, and taking the ocean trip and
the railroad to Paris, should certainly
not be considered.
The x-ray plates were shown to Mr..
