acquittal Saturday Of young widow
er. Albert Davis, Of a charge of MUIR
der for drowning his 3year-old daugh-
ter to save her further terrible suffer
ing from an incurable disease.
Most of the newspapers applaud the
acuuittal, but insist that the case is
exceptional and that there should be
no loosening of the laws protecting
human life.
On the other hand the Daily Ex-
press quotes Conan Doyle. famous au-
thor and himself a physician, as
saying:
Il think that if there We're a law
that three medical certificates would
justify the putting away of person
who is in a hopeless position as re-
CARDS life and death, it would be a
very great improvement. 1t would
only be humanity and common sense.
The analogy drawn by Justice Bra n
son between the child in the present
case and d suffering animal has re-
ceived considerable adverse criticism
Justice Branson said: 1T is a matter
which gives food for thought when
one considers that had this poor child
been an animal instead of a human
being, so far from there being any
thing blameworthy in this mans ac:
ton in putting an end to the child's
suffering, he would actually have
been liable to punishment had he not
done it,
Discussing this analogy. The Eve
ming Star says it Is not a sound argu-
ment for giving man the same license
in respect to human beings.
The Daily News declares: "To sug-
gest that the action of drowning a
child is the same as giving a dose of
weed killer to sick dog is to strike
at the very roots of a belief in the
sanctity Of human life"

the standard text of placards that
gave the signal for the pogroms Of
1919 in Ukrainia, witnesses testified
today at resumption of the trial of
Samuel Schwartzbard for the assas.
sination of Gen. Simon Petlura,
Ukrainian Separatist leader.
The defense began it's program Of
seeking to place responsibility for
the pogroms directly upon Gen. Pet
lura's shoulders in order to strengthen
Schwartzbard's assertions that he
killed Petlura to avenge his race.
First Two on Stand.
This afternoon the first two Of
nearly 100 witnesses which the de-
fense plans to call went on the stand
presenting testimony which the de-
fense hopes will show that the
massacres, always referred TO as
"Petlura's pogroms, were thoroughly
organized and definitely directed by
Gen. Petlura.
Testimony to this end was given by
Ivan Gutenberg. president of the Jew
ish migration commission of Paris
who went to Ukrainia for the French
Red Cross on relief work. during the
height of the pogroms in 1919, and
Morris Goldstein, lawyer who fed

Goldstein said that he went to the
scene of the pogroms in 1919 with a
commission, and, assisted by 40 law.
yers, questioned the inhabitants Of
the region and collected evidence. He
declared that all the pogroms started
and were continued with the spread.
ing of lies retiecting upon the Jews.
During the most terrible pogroms
at Proskurof, said Goldstein, Ukrain-
ian soldiers were told that Jews took
bells from the churches and hanged
