in Plea of Insanity and
Attack by Girl.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August TO-
Eleven witnesses were called by the
defense today in its effort to bear out
contentious that DR.. James H. Shook
was temporarily insane and struck in
self-defense when he killed his Ohio
State University student-miStreSs,
Theora Hix.
Chemists and physicians attempted
to describe what was in the StinIlat-
ing sandwiches supposed to have been
eaten by DR.. Shook and the girl when
she was hammered and slashed to death
on lonely rifle range near Columbus
the night of June IS.
Among the witnesses were Robert
Terry, pharmaceutical chemist; DR..
Clayton S. Smith. professor of pharma-
Theora Xix when she was a medical
student at Ohio State; DR.. Frank w.
HaErah. who made an examination of
marks on DR.. Shocks body which the
defendant claims were inflicted by the
girl, and finally John F. Seidel one of
the doctors attorneys.
Seidel related in detail the trouble
he had encountered in obtaining per-
mission to interview his client while he
was under arrest.
Chemists in Conflict.
Through Chemist Terry tine defense
attacked the testimony OF Chemist
Charles F. Long. a Stale witness, in
regard to the stimulating narcotic con-
coction which Long said he found in
the stomach of Miss Hix mixed in I'M
digested beef
Chemist Lcrg testified that his mi
croscopic examination revealed with
out question the cellular tissue and the
substance Of two excitement narcotics
similar to the samples that had been
taken from DR.. Shocks office.
But Chemist Terry testified that the
cellular tissue by which Long had iso-
lated and identified the substance in
the girls stomach was not visible in
samples OF the narcotic to which DR.
Shook had access. supporting the de-
tense protest that If the preparations
actually were In the girls stomach she
WAS responsible for placing them there
Explains Hammer Use.
In Shocks account of the killing, as
related on the witness stand, he said
he struck Miss Xix the first blow with
a hammer which he had in the car to
loosen her grasp on him. They had
gone to the darkened rife range. he
said. because the girl did not wish to
stay that warm night in a room they
maintained in an apartment house.
Until about a week ago the doctor
did not reveal even to his attorneys the
marks which he said we're made on his
body by Miss Hix when she attacked
him. His counsel had him examined
August 2 by DR.. Frank Harrah, and
today DR.. Harrah told the jury that
bruises we're visible when he made the
examination, although he was unable
to say hcw long ago they has oeen
inflicted.

In the meantime the board is watch

they believe, would effect this, and
thereby solve the problem of having
foreign oil dumped into this country
after conservation measures were placed

A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
OF JULY is BEING URGED
State Board of Health Warns
Against Toy Pistol

Going to celebrate the Fourth of
July? If you are, the advice of DR..
R. H. Riley, director of the State De
partment Of health is to concentrate
on pageants, picnics or parades; flag
raisings; community singing and
band concerts; fried chicken and ice
cream, of course; and if you close
the day with fireworks, buy the safe
and sane kind; above all things cut
out the toy pistol and other explosive
machines fitted with blank cartridges.
"The Fourth of July has become
associated in the mind of every health
officer" DR.. Riley said, with acct
dents resulting from the use of blank
cartridges, and with the possibility of
lock- -tetanus, to give the disease
it's scientific name-following injury
from explosives of that sort. Acct
dents from explosives of this kind

been forced into the hand.

within the last few days, the Bal
timore City department of health has
sent a letter to every physician in
the city and to all of the hospitals
advising them as to the treatment to
be given in every accident of this
sort. This gives some idea of the
seriousness with which such injuries
are regarded by health officials.
"The treatment includes the open
ing and thorough surgical cleansing
Of the wound and the administration
of tetanus anti-toxin. For both of
these measures, the prompt and con-
tinued services of a doctor are need
ed. The tetanus anti-toxin used for
the preventive treatment of injuries
likely to produce INSTRUMENTATION
from July Fourth accidents or from
any other cause-is supplied, in the
counties, free of charge, by the de-
partment of health. The larger guam
titles that are necessary for the
treatment of advanced cases are fur
nished at cost"
