himself as a salesman, Of TIC East

on a charge of attempting to bribe a
juror. Joseph Naher, Of 1160. Forest
Avenue, one OF tie Jurors in the case
o. Dr.. Julius NJ. Hammer, found guilty
yesterday of manslaughter in the FIRST
degree, asserts that Sheehan is the
man who Tuesday night suggested that
the right kind Of verdict in the Ham
mer case would mean 81 900 for Maher.
According to the information given
to District Attorney Francis Martin by
Maker, SheeAaa approached the juror
wit. tae question: "vou'.e OF. tic Eas...-

Detective O'Essa, of the District At

TIE District Attorney said last night,
admits having had a conversation with
Mahes, but says that it had reference
only to some stock market t.acsac-
t!ons. Maher says that the first time
he saw Sheehan was when tie latter
approached him Tuesday
The Hammer case developed a new
angle last night, when thirty Bronx
physicians met at the office of DR.. l.
Lehman. at 1927 Washington Avenue,
and entered vigorous protest against
the verdict of guilty returned by the
jury which, they said, puts the medical
drivers and janitors. The jury found
that DR.. Hammer was guilty of first
degree manslaughter because he per-
formed an operation on Mrs Michael
Oganesoff, of 230 Riverside Drive, the
wife Of former attache of the Russian
Embassy, following which she died.
The verdict, the meeting of physicians
decided last night, would cause the
loss of hundreds Of lives annually,
because physicians would fear to per-
form such an operation in cases Of
grave emergency. A motion for re-
trial will be made Wednesday as a re-
suit Of last nights meeting.
Goldman Defends Hammers Course
DR.. Alexander Goldman, president of
the Bronx Hospital, at 169th Street and
Fulton Avenue, said that the report of
the Medical Examiner was complete
vindication of DR.. Hammers course.
If | were placed in similar position,
Dr.. Goldman said-"and l was fourteen
days ago. would do again as did at
that time--perform the operation"
DR.. Goldman said that the medical
men of the city would back up Dr.
Hammer, both for their own protec
ton and the protection of the public.
Only physicians can judge as to the
treatment necessary for patient" he
added. "The law was never intended
to allow laymen without professional
training to decide whether or not
an operation"
