Illegally conducting hospital for the

of health then took action. charging
that they were conducting. sana-
forum in violation Of s. ate regulations.
In August, 1913, the Porters were in
dicted.
The state endeavored to prove in
directly that the friedman "cure'' was
a fake, although this was not legal
point involved. 1t was also brought
out that since the Porters were in
dicted four of the states witnesses
have died and two who did testify
appeared to have been cured by the
Porter treatment. The court In di-
recting the verdict held that the state
had failed to sustain the charge Of
operating a hospital Illegally. 1t was
likewise brought out that many OF their
patients arrived on morning train,
for instance, took the hypodermic
treatment and then Immediately re-
