advancing the plea OF temporary
insanity.
We are saying Sthat while what
the old doctor did was no wrong.
stiIl IL it was wrong in the minds
Of the jury and the State, he did It
because he thought It was right.
IL it was wrong and he mistoOk
wrong for right, then he was tenn
porarily deranged. And thirty
two years of acting as slavey for
that monstrosity would warp the
strongest mentality.
When Doctor Blazer chloroformed
this hIsk, he did it Tor the good
Of Hazel herself. He did not want
her to be left behind to suffer in
8 suffering world, or to make
others suffer caring for her-or It,.
Killing Not Malicious
The killing was not malicious. It
was the love act OF an old man who
thought he was doing right. When
we paint the true structure Of
what the thing was that he put out
of its misery, we do not believe any
jury will say that he should go to
the penitentiary for the rest Of his
life because of his act.
It may have been insane love
that caused him to do It, when he
realized that old age was going to
take him away from the thing that
he must nurse as father, but there
was no malice. When g. veterinarian
comes and chloroforms the family's
pet dog, to end its suffering when
there is no other remedy, who viii
say that is malicious killing And
II Hazel Blazer was even less, men
tally, physically, than q dog, who
will say that was murder?
The time viii come, in our opin-
ion, when the State, itself, will not
only countenance the humane de-
struction Of such human derelicts
as was Hazel Blazer, at birth, but
win go a step beyond and sanction
and provide for such relief for
both the hapless victim and the
at large.

WHEELER HITS
INDICTMENT
CONTINUED from First Page.)

y
November 80 to hear arguments
on the demurrer and the plea Of
former acquittal.
The conspiracy indictment grew
out <of Wheeler's relationship to
Campbell as an attorney Wheeler
contended that he never appeared
for Campbell IN any matter before
the Interior Department, but that
his services were for legal work in
Montana courts alone.
The present bill charged that
Wheeler conspired to obtain oil and
gas permits for Campbell, who Sc
cured more permits than the law
allowed through the employment of
dummy applicants 1t was al
legged that Wheeler went to the In
terror Department and used his
Senatorial influence to get the per-
mits.
In return, he was to get "a cut"
on oil and gas thus obtained.
Booth, as solicitor. passed on the
permits, had knowledge Of the sup
posed agreement between Campbell
and Wheeler, and also was to re-
ceiye share Of the proceeds, ac-
cording to the Indictment.
YFrame-up, He Says
Prior to the returning of the in.
dictments, Department Of Justice
agents spent months gathering evil
dence in Montana and Washington.
Wheeler charged that the indict-
ments were Is frame-up,'s aimed as
retaliation for his prosecution Of
the Senate's ir1vestigat ion OF former
Attorney General Harry III. Daugh-
tice.
Subsequent to Wheeler's Montana
trial, Campbell was convicted on
{ charges OF using the mails to de-
fraud in connection with an oil
promotion scheme.

Jurors Are Quizzed
Closely by Defense
In Trial Of DR.. Blazer
BY MICHAEL r. DACEY

LITTLETON, Colo, Nov. 5.-Tne
trial of Doctor Harold Elmer Blazer
for the tragic love murder OF his
deformed thirty o-year-oId daugh-
ter, Hazel, was resumed in the
drab bare-walled little courtroom OF
the Arapahoe county district court
today with the prospect that q
jury to decide the fate Of the sixty.
year-oId country doctor, for the al
legged chIoroform staying Of his I'M
beetle daughter, would be chosen
The jury box was filled and
emptied with monotonous regularity
yesterday from the panel Of 40
veniremen summoned by Judge
Samuel w. Johnson, despite the
fact that prosecution and defense
mad each exercised but one Of their
fifteen peremptory challenges.
Sanity Is QUESTION
Questioning OF prospective jurors
. indicated plainly that the main
issue Of the strange homicide case,
filled with love and pathos, Will
hinge around the sanity OF Doctor
Blazer at the time, it is charged, he
snuffed out the life OF his mindless
woman-child by pressing to her
nostrils cloths saturated with
chloroform.
Lewis De Riggs Mowry, chief of
+ defense counsel, spent much time
with each juror endeavoring to de-
termine the attitude toward his
contention that the old-fasl1ioned,
kindly country physician was the
victim OF "psychical automatism."
( Mowry will strive to prove to
the jury, by evidence and argu-
ment, that Doctor Blazer suffered
q lapse Of memory for a period OF
forty eight hours before, during and
after the girl died from chloroform
and during which time he made
three attempts to take his own
life-first with same saturated
cloths, then with a twenty-grain
poison tablet, and finally with q
razor blade that made q deep,
jagged wound in his throat and
missed the juguIar vein by only
one-eighth Of an inch.
Doctor Blazer Calm.
Doctor Blazer, tall, thin and per.
ceptibly nervous, showed little con-
Germ over the outcome of the trial
which will mean imprisonment for
the remainder of his life or ac-
quittal of the charge of numbering
the one most dear to him in life
as the task OF selecting the jury
droned along today.
II Is understood that Attorney
Mowry plans to put the quiet old
man on the stand In his own de.
Tense, to tell OF the thirty-two years
of tender care he lavished upon his
imhecile daughter, "the girl with
out a SOUL" who could neither talk
nor walk, nor even take food until
it had been thoroughly premasti-
Gated,
The story, according to Mowry,
will run the gamut of all human
emotions. Instead however, OF the
usual sordid details of hatred, an
ger and bitter examinations that
mark most murder trials, Doctor
Blazers story will be one of "mur-
der for love-"
After thirty-two years OF pains
taking and tender care for the i'm.
beetle child that had grown to
womanhood in body only, with limbs
withered and shrivled and hands a
mere mass OF flesh, the doctor viii
relate how he had become stricken
with what he thought was a mortal
disease, and, brooding over the
fear that he would die suddenly and
leave Hazel--the human husk"--
20 the mercy OF strangers. he lost
his memory. The "psychical auto.
nAAtism," that Mowry win blame for

Washington Man Writes Letter of
Protest for Popular Sun

Among the many letters sent by
Washington radio fans to j. A. Hol-
man. broadcast manager of station
WEAF, New York, regarding the ac-
tion of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Co. in remode,ing "Roxie's''
style before the microphone was one
from c. A. Briggs, 1911 Spring road.
The letter follows:
Each person must use his own
tools and talents in his own way. A
recognition of this comes with ma
turity in most people. l wonder how
old you are?
These comments are inspired by
the inclosed clipping from tonight's

had several times asked Roxie to
modify his style somewhat. Roxie's
programs are the outstanding fea-
lures OF radio today. / am sufficient

modelling him along lines that would
suit my own particular mental quirks,
even though in the millions of people
