LONG QUESTIONS
FEATURES OF THE
HARDWICK CASE
Malpractice Case Is the
Last Jury Case to Be
Heard This Term

A hypothetical question that
il took a half hour to ask and
dispose of was an incident OF the
Hardwick malpractice case in Cal
edonia county court Thursday af-
tenoon. Between the questions of
Attorney Walter A. Dutton for
the plaintiff an Attorney Scarles
searching croSs-eXamination, the
long inquiries had a hubby road
to the records.
Only two witnesses have been
on the stand during the last "a
hours, DR.. A. C. Kinney and Dr..
A. ID. Ferris, both Hardwick prac-
titioners. Both treated the injur-
les on Fred Richardson's leg after
DR.. e. A. Carter, the defendant,
had ceased to treat the case. Both
were of the opinion that good
surgery as it is administered bv
practitioners in the vicinity Of
Hardwick in such cases had not
been employed by DR.. Carter.
Much medical information was
put into the testimony and !
they can master and understand
the many technical medical terms
used the jurymen who are hear
ing the case will be in a position
to ask for diplomas as full fedg-
ed NJ. D's. They can say that
they have attended an up-to-d date
course in anatomy, to say the
least.
1t is expected that the plaintiff 5
case will be completed Friday af-
tcrnoon, and that it will take con-
siderable time into rext week to
complete the defense and finish
the case.
All the jurymcn not engaged on
this case have been excused from
further duty at this term as all
the other cases have been set to be
heard by the court instead of by
the jury. There is still quite a
list of matters tc be disposed of.

of the late Pope Benedict laid
away the interest of the Sacred
college and the Vatican, turned
towards his successor. A Con-
clave has been called for Feb.
to choose the new pontiff. A thor
ough canvass of opinion shows
that the party advocating closer
relations with the government are
virtually deadlocked with those
opposing a re-approachment in
the number of votes each faction
can muster. A two-thirds maj o-
rity is necessary for election.
