This morning that important day was only
a week away. Nancy was singing happily to

buzzed. Nancys song died as she answered
the phone. She knew the voice at the other

Accused Doctor Bars
Exiradition in Death
OF Rival for Wife
BY the Associated Press

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 18.-Dr. Robert
c. Rutledge told police from his
hospital bed today he would not
waive extradition to Iowa In the
fatal stabbing Of his wife's lover last
Tuesday.
William w. Crissman, Linn County
attorney informed of DR.. Rutledge' S
statement. said he would begin legal
proceedings II the doctor continues
with his present refusal.
DR.. Rutledge Is charged at Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, with first degree mur-
der in the death Of Byron c. HIATT
man, young engineer employed by
the Emerson Electric Co. here. The
27-year -old pediatrician is in City
Hospital after taking poison when
police came to his apartment to
arrest him yesterday.
Survival Still Uncertain.
Hospital attendants still we're un-
able to say whether the doctor will
survive the poison.
An attorney for DR. Rutledge said
that if he goes to trial for HIATT
mans death, the defense will be the
"unwritten law" the right of a man
to defend the sanctity of his home.
Attorney Leo Laughrep said a
self f-defense contention will be ad-
vanced, based on DR.. Rutledge's
statement that Hattman produced a
pocket knife during a fight. DR..
Rutledge told police he took the
knife from Hattman.
Tells About Showdown.
The doctor, in an oral statement,
told how he drove to Cedar Rapids
for a showdown with Hartman, %,
and left the armament designer
laying on hotel room floor after a
fight. DR.. Rutledge said Hattman
telephoned him often, asking him to
give Mrs. Rutledge "her freedom. -
The doctors attractive, 23-year-
old wife was quoted by detectives as
saying she and Hattman had init
mate relations last July while her
husband was on duty at hospital
She met Hattman at the Emerson
plant where she also worked.
DR.. Rutledge made his statement
concerning extradition to Police
Corpl. James Ogden. If his decision
stands. the Governor of Iowa must
ask Missouri's chief executive to
order extradition. Counsel for the
defense then may ask for hearing
before the Missouri Governor before
DR.. Rutledge may be moved to Iowa
