Marquette Medical School II may be
stated that the university authorities
have always taught that the lives OF
both mother ana child are sacred in
the eyes of God and equally protected
BY His divine, interchangeable law"
at was never asserted that the
baby's life comes first. The moral
law forbids a physician to sacrifice q
mothers life to save a child's, or
baby's life to save that Of the mother.
He cannot destroy either-life without
violating the divine commandment
"Thou shalt not kim"
ITO say that a doctor who refuses
TO XIII a child when a mothers life Is
in jeopardy really murders the mother
just as the man commits suicide. who
refuses all food, is to absurdly sup
pose that the destruction of life Is to
be put in the same class with the TAX
ing OF food. drink. and air, which are
ordinary means that the divine COM
mandment obliges us TO use to con-
serve life.
There are three and only three
cases of justinable killing; Self-de-
tense, capital punishment, and just
war Reason forces us to so inter
pref the divine mandate, Thou shalt
not kill. in order to avoid charging
an infinitely wise legislator with self
contradiction. -.
"Now, this. whether the motive be
to protect the honor of n woman or
TO save a woman's>life, cannot be put
under any one OF the above three

Wan. attired in a neat suit OF SOM
bre hue, was downcast and nervous.
He showed no extraordinary signs of
emotion. His counsel, Attorney James
O'Shea, gave notice of an appeal.
The motion for a new trial was
made on tho ground that VANS con-
fession should not have been admit
ted as evidence, inasmuch as II was
not voluntarily given.
Complimenting police and detectives
on the manner in which they managed
the case, Justice Gould said there had
been some idea that Wan had been
handled" by the police. The court
stated there was nothing brought
out in the testimony to Justify the
claim.
II was also stated by the court that
Wan, as q prisoner at the jail, had
been accorded unusually good treat
men.
Tho trial OF wan was a sensation
here. 1t took throe weeks to present
and argue the case. Moro than 500
talesmen were summoned to make mp
Jury, the great majority of those
summoned pleading that they were
opposed to capital punishment.
1t was not until almost year after
the crime had been committed that
the police were able to submit con-
elusive proof to the District Attorney
and fasten the crime on Wan.

This question has aroused h con-
troyersy which has caused f1ve physt-
clans Of the Medical College of Mar
duette University to resign. Father
Noonan OF the university called the
practice murder and drew a warm re-
ply from Or. Louis NJ. Warfield, presi'
dent of the Medical College.
Father Noonan, who insisted the
question Is an ethical and not a
religious one, said: at is direct mur'
der and a dozen good motives will
not justify an evil act" lie also said
the moral law forbids the sacrifice OF
either the child's or the mothers life

DR.. warfeld in reply said he knows
of no other sect in this country TO-
day that takes such a stand.
I'VE arc not living in the fifteenth
century, when the church was put
above the Statc. Our statutes pro-
vide that the life Of the unborn child
can be destroyed II by doing so the
mother can be saved.
at Is a religious issue despite the
fact that Father Noonan declares
that it is not. II will simply mean
that tho Marquette University will

cal teachers, as no non-Catholic ply

medieval, but contrary TO the laws OF
