.Strychnine Dose
Chief Issue in
Trial Of Doctor

Whether one-fifth of a grain Of
strychnlne-a dose sufficient TO
kill an adult-injected into new
born infant would be discovered
in a post-mortem examination
today became an issue in the trial
of Or. Louis L. Denison.
The question was raised as de-
Tense attorney Anthony Maiullo
argued that Recorders Judge Cot
ter should dismiss the manslaugh-
ter charge against Or. DenIson.
A series of state witnesses.
mostly nurses, had testified 10 tho
birth and death of a girl in Mari
Hospital last Aug. 30.
NoIDRUG FOUND
DR.. Denison. il was testified,
had pronounced the infant still
born and had signed a death GER
tificate. When the baby wa8
found TO be breathing, it was
SdlQt liz NGnb away lliN
taker who had been called and
ministered 10 the baby.
One of the nurses said DR.. Deni-
son had told her he had admins
tered one-ffth of grain or
strychnine to the child.
Both DR.. Plinn F. Morse, toxi-
cologist, and DR.. Paul Klebba.
Wayne County medical examiner.
testified they had found no drug
in the body when they examined
it after death.
QUESTION UNASKED
When Maiullo began his argu-
ment for dismissal, after conclu-
sion of the states case. it was
found that the question OF whether
the strychnine. if administered.
could have disappeared by the
time of post-mortem examination
had neither been asked nor
answered.
DR.. Morse was recalled to be
asked that question.
If the motion for dismissal was
denied, DR.. Denison was to take
the stand in his own defense.
