DR.. Peckham Defense
To Wind Up Today

The defense expects to rest its
case today in the District Court
trial of DR.. Henry L. Peckham, jr.,
charged with abortion.
DR.. Peckham's attorneys, H.
Mason WEIGH and Dorsey X. Offutt,
yesterday presented witnesses in an
effort to prove the defendant did
not treat Mrs. Edith Stottlemyer at
the times cited by the prosecution.
Mrs. Juanita La May of The 400
block of F street S.W., told of visit
ing DR.. Peckhams Office on the night
of January 8, 1947. She said no one
resembling Mrs. Stottlemyer was in
the Office.
Other defense witnesses included
Mrs. Dolly Taylor of the 1900 block
of 4 street NV, who said DR.. Peck
ham visited her home between
and S pm. on January S, 1947. Felix
Peckham, brother of the physician,
also testified that, later that day,
he and DR.. Peckham were at the
residence Of Mr.. Offutt, one of the
defense attorneys.
1t was on January and S, 1947,
that the prosecution charges DR..
Peckham attempted to induce a
miscarriage in Mrs. Stottlemyer,
former Washington resident, who
now lives in St. Paul. MINI.
Earlier, Assistant United States
ATTORNEYS Charles B. Murray and
A. j. Mclaughlin sought to prove
that Mrs. Stottlemyer actually had
been pregnant at the time. The
prosecutors placed on the stand DR..
Richard E. Kelso and two techni-
clans, who testified that tests given
Mrs. Stottlemyer indicated preg-
nancy. Mrs. Stottlemyer herself
has testified she thought she was
pregnant.

my Wife
HAVING LEET ME

Sue, sure do miss you. And admit
I've been hard to take. But, hon,
there was a reason for my mean dis
position. I was "out of order" and
depending upon harsh laxatives. Now
you'd see a big change. Yes, I've
found relief from constipation caused
by lack of bulk in the diet-by eating
right. Every day now, have me
bowlful of KELLOGG'SALL-BRA

Of water. What relief, what joy, to be

won the admiration of tenants
(and the hatred of real estate

the Municipal Court judges,
fought to protect the interests
of tenants in Renters Court. In
1943 Judge Heller dealt a heavy
blow to those landlords who use
restrictive covenant leases to
maintain ghettos so that they
may charge exhorbitant rents in

appeared on the petitions.


One fragrant example will
suffice. On Page BIT, line of
the original Progressive Party
petitions for Rock Island Coun-
ty there apears the name HY-
MAN ANDICH. The re-typed
Democratic counterpart reads
HERMAN AxEDICH. The Elec-
toral Board chose to believe the
Democratic affidavit that HER
MAN AXEDICH was not a
registered voter and, therefore,
could not be counted as valid
signature. The H Y M AN AN
DICH on the Progressive Party
petition was, of course, a regis
tered voter and a valid sigma
ture.
In keeping with its promise
the Progressive Party tested the
cOnstitutiOnality of the law, in
view of the fact that the Illinois
election law provides that the
decision of the Electoral Board
shall be final.
Just four days ago the SUI
preme Court acting in record
time delivered its opinion. This
opinion in no way deals with
the facts surrounding the valid
ity of the signatures. 1t deals
only with the ques on of
whether the election law vio-
lates the Federal Constitution.
The court made no decision as
to whether or not the election
law violates the Illinois State
Constitution.
The militant battle of the
Progressive Party, exposing the
fascist character of the state
election laws, is credited as be-
ing responsible for a virtual
guarantee of its revision. A bill
for repeal will be introduced in
the 1949 session of the State
Legislature and, in the face of
public indignation, it is doubt
full if many politicians will dare
oppose it. Regardless of the legis-
lative outcome, the Progressive
Party will establish itself as a
statewide legal party in Illinois
in the 1850 elections.
