DIR. Hammer Is
Sentenced to
3h to Is Years
Physician Is Denied New
Trial, but Execution Is
Stayed Until July 26
for Other New Appeals
Court r egrets Action
Calls Doctors Propaganda
'1nsidious'; New Evidence
Offered by the Defendant

Dr.. Julius Hammer. of 1888 Wash
ington Avenue, the Bronx, convicted
OF manslaughter in the first degree
in Connection with the death of Mrs
Marie Oganesoff. of $50. Riverside
Drive, as the result of an alleged un-
necessary operation was sentenced
yesterday by Judge Gibbs in the
Bronx County Court to serve not
less than three years and six months
and not more than fifteen years in
prison.
The motion of William J. Fallon.
the physicians attorney, for a new
trial was denied, but stay of execu-
ZION OF sentence was granted until
July 26. Mr.. Fallon asked a new trial
on the grounds that the jury which
convicted DR.. Hammer was preiudiced
against him because of an alleged at
tempt to bride one of the jurors; that
the physician had the right to per-
form the operations and that there
was no direct proof that the operation
had caused the womans death. The
stay of execution gives DR.. Hammer
an opportunity to apply for certif-
cate of reasonable doubt.
Mr.. Fallon attempted to introduce
new witnesses, some of them physic-
lans, to show the medical standing of
Dr. Hammer. He tried to show that
MRS. OganesoH was in a serious con-
dltlon before she visited the doctors
Office
He introduced ar affidavit signed bv
dressmaker, whom Mrs. Oganesoff
visited frequently, and to whom it is
alleged she made known on several
occasions that her condition was such
that she had to resort to serious
measures.
o y
by Carry Taub, director of Fordham
registry for nurses, 2O45 Southern
Boulevard, were accepted by Judge
Gibbs They were read by Dr.. Ham
mers attorney in reply to Assistant
District Attorney Cohn, who charged
that the physician had allowed Mrs,
Oganesoff to "die like dog" that he
had failed to call in other doctors or
nurses and had attempted to write
death certifica te which gave the cause
of death as influenza
The nurses statement said she had
talked with the doctor on July 6.
five days prior to the death of the
woman, about getting a nurse, but
mat she had been unable to assist
him on account of shortage of nurses
at the time.
Judge Gibbs said these affidavits
should have been submitted at the
trial. He read, into the record pc
tltion for clemency signed by
physicians and in passing sentence
severely criticized what he termed
the insidious and uncalled for prop
aganda conducted in the doctors be-
half" The petition said that thou
sands OF women were in danger of
death through the fear inculcated in
physicians as result of Dr.. Ham
mer's conviction.
'lewould not add one drop to the
bitterness of your cup" Judge Gibbs
told Or. Hammer, adding I"I am not
gong to hold it against you on the
sentence. lie criticized alleged ref
erences to the jurors as janitors and
sshoemakers as propaganda conducted
IN behalf Of Dr.. Hammer.

A Fine Queen Anne
Walnut Bookcase
Au Quat7fen1e

Illustrated above is a fine Queen
Anne bookcase Of unusual height and
excellent proportions. 1t is of dark
walnut, diagonally veneered, and
with tortoise-shell-lile patine.
The twisted legs are held by a
typically Queen Anne stretcher; the
tall glass doors are also characteristic
of the period.
For a country house, where the
comfortable and charming English
atmosphere is so much in spirit, this
old bookcase is particularly suited.
Also shown are two of a set of six
William and Mary walnut chairs.
equal in design and detail to the ia
nous ones at Hampton Court Palace.
The six are covered with the original
leather seats.
Fourth floor, Old Building.

Whalen Says Midland
Could Run Cars This Week

Grover A. Whalen, Commissioner of
Plant and Structures, told the Rich
mond County grand jury investigating
the trolley SITUATION yesterday that if
the permission of the Federal Court
could be obtained the city would have
cars in operation before the end of the
week on the lines of the Midland Rail
road Company, which have been idle
since January 18.
Efforts were being made, he said. to
obtain the necessary permission of the
court Three hundred thousand dollars
had been appropriated, he said, for the
purchase of new cars and these could
be obtained inside forty-eig hours.
Although the first price asked by the
company for its property was consid-
cred eXorbitant, he continued. there
was no doubt in his mind that the citv
could reach an agreement with the
company on a reasonable basis, once it
had obtained the courts permission to
operate cars.
1t was Commissioner Whalen's second
appearance before the grand jury.
That body which has been inquiring
into the trolley and bus questions
since March, will make a presentment

Bedtime Stories
Nimbleheels Is Thankful
BY Thornton W. Burgess
A purpose you Uill alaUays find
In everything, unless you're blind.

Reddy Fox soon gave up hunting for
Nlmbleheels the Jumping Mouse. There
is one thing about Reddy which some
other people might learn to their ad-
vantage: he never wastes time use
lessly. When he lost track of Nimble-
heels after the latter's three long
jumps, Reddy simply ran this way and
that way with his nose to the ground
until he was quite sure that Nimble
heels was so we'll hidden it would be a
waste Of time to hunt for him longer.
ne snarled once in disappointment,
then trotted off toward the Smiling
Pool to try to catch some frogs for his
dinner.
When he was out of sight Peter Rab-
bit came out from the bramble-tanele
on the edge of the Green Forest and
hoped over to the place where MINI
bleheels had been jumping for his life.
IF Reddy Fox couldn't find Nimole-
heels 1t is useless for me to look for
him." thought Peter. 81 wonder if he
Will show himself if thump. He can't
help but hear me, and if he has a.
much sense in that little head of his
as | think he has he'll know that |
wouldn't be here if there was any dan
ger about"
So Peter thumped two or three times
with his long hind feet, a way Peter
has of doing when he wants to signal
his friends. Then he sat still and
waited. He didn't have long to wait.
We'll. Peter Rabbit, what are Won
doing over here? And what were YOU
humping for just now" asked a high.
squeaky voice, which seemed to come
almost from under Peters very feet.
Peter looked down. From out little
hole in the ground pretty little head
was thrust and two mischievous little
eyes twinkled up at Peter.
Hello, Nimblehe cried Peter. az
was humping for you / hoped YOU
would understand. You see saw YOU
jump for your life a little while ago
and | just had to come over and tell
you how glad am Reddy Fox didn't
catch you"
"Of course, he didn't catch me-"
squeaked Nimbleheels. "Reddy Fox
has got to DE smarter than he has ever
been yet to catch me. I'm little out
of breath from jumping SO much, but
otherwise l am ali right"
Nimbleheels came wholly out from
his hiding place and sat down beside
Peter. His long tail lay straight out
behind him. Peter couldn't keep his
eyes away from it. You know Peter
has such funny little tail of his own
