held by the defense that the skull
was fractured at that time. The
expert testimony contradicted this.
Kelley's testimony was about the
same as that Of Dr. Farnsworth.
j. M. Reuschlein, deputy sheriff,
testified Miss Radel left the day
after the death of the child, the
second after it's birth, and he
brought her back.
w. III. Ode, formerly sheriff,
testified as to taking the dead child
to Madison and other incidents.
Henry Moe testified to being call
ed the night the child was born.
Effie Radel, the defendant in the
case, was on the stand a short
time. She testified that she aided
in the birth of the child, sitting UP
in bed and using her hands.
Expert Testimony
DR.. Louis r. Head, Madison,
formerly superintendent Of the
hospital at Mendoza, testified he
had been practicing medicine and
surgery for about 81 years. He
has kept no record but has been
present when $500 to 5000 babies
have arrived.
He assisted DR.. Bunting in the
autopsy on December Is, 1924, ten
days after the child was born. The
baby was small but we'll formed.
Marks were found on the neck, in
places the skin being broken as if
by fingernails. There were four
marks on the neck and when OPP
ened the organs of the neck and be
low were found to be normal.
There was no evidence of strangu-
latiOn.
When the scalp was opened "a
bOve one Of the frontal bones a
hemorrhage was found, blood run
ming out. 1t was also found the
skull was fractured and the blood
had settled down as far as the
spinal cord. The bone where the
skull was fractured is very thin
not more than 1-25 of an inch in
thickness. DR.. Head further testi-
fed that the injuries such as found
on the child might come from a
mother assisting with delivery, as
held to the case with Miss Radel
Neither DR.. Bunting nor DR.
Head knew the mother was accus-
ed of murder when they made the
autopsy.
(From Fridays Daily
In concluding his testimony, DR.
Head said this was the first time
he had performed an autopsy on
an infant. He said it was rare
that autopsys were held on babies
due to the feeling of the parents
A doll was exhibited to assist
in the explanation of the location
of the marks on the child.
DR. Thomas M. Tormey of Mad
ison was next called and said thai
he had had cases where he thought
the cause of death was inter
cranial hemorrhage. 1t was al
ways difficult to tell. If this were
the cause of death in the present
case, the symptoms noticed il
the child as described, would be
consistent with the superstition

TO THE VOTERS OF SAUK

In voting for a judge you can do
justice to yourself only when you
know the facts. Your liberties

come up for consideration by the
man who is elected as judge.
Therefore, it is important that
you know whom you vote for. In
order that you may be more fam
iliar with the life and record of
Judge Hoppmann we give you the
following facts in few words:
CD Judge Hoppmann is 81
years of age. lin the prime of
judDcial life).
(2) He had had twenty years
of active practice in the law at
Madison before becoming judge.
60 He was twice elected as

sition to accept the judgeship.

co. His ability, honesty, integ-
rity or any other qualification has
never been questioned.
(10) All the jurors are paid by
the tax payers of the county. 1t
is not unusual for one jury case
to cost the tax payers from $500
to $1,000 Judge Hoppmann has
made a reputation for himself by
settling cases. He has shown un-
usual ability, tact and good judg
ment, and in that way has saved
litigants and tax payers thousands
of dollars each year.
With the foregoing splendid re-
cord made by Judge Hoppmann
and with the exceptional fine home
endorsement by the lawyers and
members Of the County Board of
Dane County, we submit that the
Sank County voters should not be
in doubt as to whom to vote for.
