VICTIM OF PERSECUTION WILL BE TAKEN AWAY ID PHOENIX
 DESPITE PHYSICIANS ORDER

~ am here to make the statement to the public which is interested in the case of Miss Dorothy M. Berry, that the girl is being persecuted by the officials in charge of her They refused me admission to see her professionally after 1 had been re- quested to do so, and they did not give her the medicine ! sent up for some time afterwards, until pub lie opinion forced Mcdonald to the course. The young lady is serious ly i'll, and is not able to travel. 1t would have been far better for her to have been removed to the Y. w. c. A. where she could receive pro- per care. The charges that she is being doped are chiId's prattle; the real facts should be given to the public and Sheriff Mcdonald, F. w. Brown, ct al., should be made to give these facts and to stop their persecution of this girl at once. 1t is 2 matter of right and justice that they be held for 2n account ing"
 The above is a statement made by a reputable physician of Bisbee to the Review last night following Sheriff McDonald's refusal to al low the girl to accept the open-door hospitality and care of the Y. w. c. A. which had offered rooms and aid until the young lady could re- cover from the trying ordeal through which she passed, when Deputy Sheriff F. w Brown is alleged to have locked himself in her room at the Gadsden hotel, Douglas, under the pretense that it was necessary in keeping guard over her.
 Facts of the Case
 The facts in the case which de veloped yesterday in the Dorothy M. Berry case ar6 as follows:
 Yesterday morning following the account of the case published ex- clusively in The Review, telephone calls inquiFing whether any aid could be rendered, came in by the score from the people of Bisbee. Offers of assistance, of monetary nature and otherwise, were extended to her. Shortly before noon the two local physicians, both of whom are ac- credited and reputable practictioners who have been in attendance from
 
 Bisbee, and under whose care she has been improving, were called in when her condition became serious. Sheriff Mcdonald, hearing that she was suffering a relapse. called in Dr. E. B. Walker, a doctor residing in Lowell, without consulting the two doctors referred to above. Dr. Walker after examining the patient told the guard in attendance to discontinue the medicine that had been prescribed in order to give her stomach a rest. These orders were obeyed and during the afternoon the young lady's condition did not improve One of the first two phy- sicians was called up by the county jail matron, who had been placed in charge. (despite the request of Miss Ford, the truant officer who had been in attendance up to that time, be permitted to remain with her.) The physician, after being told that Mir Walker was at that time in the room with Miss Berry, requested to be excused from go- ing to Miss Berry's room. Miss Berry then requested the physician personally to come, that she pre- ferred him to Dr. Walker. The phy- sician then agreed to come to her, but stated that he did not care to enter into a professional consulta- tion with Dr. Walker.
 Door Guarded
 Arriving at the hotel door which a deputy sheriff was guarding, he requested to see Miss Berry. The physician stated: 'I was told by the sheriff that I would have to wait until Dr. Walker arrived I replied that I was called by Miss Berry and that I was a reputable and licensed physician and demanded to see her. They finally let me enter. While was examining Miss Berry. Dr.. Walker came into the room. He made some objection when I started to examine Miss Berry's throat. I disrsgarded him and proceeded to prescribe for her. Sheriff McDon- aid then forbade them to give her the prescription that I left, demand ing that I tell him what was in it. I replied that I was a licensed phy- sician and that the prescription would be placed on file as usual, and that I did not propose to ans wer to him for my conduct He then instructed Deputy Sheriff Mid kiff to accompany me to the dis pensary and watch and report to him what I filled the prescription from. After filling the prescription gave 1t to Mir. Foster and told him to see that it reached Miss Berry. Mir. Foster carried out my instructions and handed the pre- scription- to the matron on guard We called up a few minutes later and at that time it had not been given to Miss Berry. I do not know whether they eventually decided tC give Miss Berry the medicine or not"
 Not Able to Travel
 When the physician was asked by The Review reporter whether Miss Berry was able to travel Gas Sheriff McDonald had stated Dr
