ut was casual dictation." DR.
Sander replied. The fact that
say she expired at that time does
not mean Size died at that time
1t is merely a means of closing
out the case on the chart.
@. Did you tell Miss Connor
(medical records librarian at the
hospitaD anything else?
A. told her air had no effect
on the patients death - that
somebody might try to make
something (of the notation).
DR.. Sander said he gave the
matter no further thought until
December 20. On that day, he
said. he was confronted at the
hospital by DR.. Robert E. Biron,
county medical referee.
Did he ask you what Mrs. Bor-
roto died of?" asked Mr.. Langdell
II told him cancer of the large
bowel and metastasis of the liver"
replied DR.. Sander.
Looked Like Dead Person."
Earlier DR.. Sander had testified
that Mrs. Borroto looked like a
dead person" during the last week
of her life.
DR.. Sanders direct testimony
required about an hour and three
quarters. He was then taken over
for cross-examination by Mr.
Phinney, a long time friend of the
defendant.
Mr.. Phinney asked the doctor
about his direct testimony that
certain notes he made on Mrs
Borroto's death were merely
casual"
Replied DR.. Sander:
Many times in the course of
hospital work a doctor gets a call
that a patient has died. It may
be sometimes several minutes be-
fore the doctor gets there. On the
chart, he usually records the
time the doctor gets there and
10 or is minutes earlier when the
patient actually expired.
Wasn't Fair to Himself.
DR.. Sander was then asked
about his notation that Mrs. Bor-
roto died within 10 minutes" OF
the injection of air.
That's what I Dictated" re-
piled the defendant. But he again
referred to it as a casual notation
and not necessarily accurate.
OF all the entries he made on
the death, DR.. Sander said:
Il probably was not being fair
to myself"
DR.. Sander said that on Decem-
Der 20 when the air injections be-
came known and he was arrested:
Il was terribly upset inwardly
and I tried to preserve an out
ward calm. knew I had not
committed any sim"
And your conscience was
Iclear?" asked Mr.. Phinney.
MY conscience has been clear
throughout this whole affair."" re-
piled the doctor.
did you ever agree to kill Mrs
Borroto?" Mr.. Langdell asked.
II never agreed to kill her." the
doctor said.
@. Did you know what you in
tended to do with the syringe?
A. I do not know what I in
tended to do. I remember trying
to get into her vein.
Veins Were Collapsed.
@. Was there blood on her arm?
A. There was never any blood
anywhere. I tried to get into the
vein. I did not use a tourniquet
to bring up the vein. Her veins
were collapsed.
DR.. Sander said he had a 10
cubic centimeter syringe, and ex-
planned:
Il withdrew the plunger to
make suction but nothing came
out-there was no blood"
Mr.. Langdell asked him:
What did you do next?"
Il injected a couple of CCs and
I injected a couple more-snd
nothing happened" the doctor re-
piled. There was slight swell
ing around the needle. I con-
tinued to inject small amounts OF
air until the entire IN COS uos
