Taken From Our Old Files of Corresponding Week

DR.. Emery Marvel, the prom
inent surgeon and sanitarium
owner of Atlantic City, N. j.,
well-known in Smyrna and vi
cinity where at one time he
temporarily resided, was COM
pletely vindicated and exhonor-
ated by jury at May Landing
Court House in New Jersey at
eleven o'clock last evening in
a $4,000 damage suit brought
before Judge Cole of his coun.
ty last Friday. The plaintiff was
Mrs. Eva E. Folsom, wife of
Rev. John R. Folsom, Atlantic
City, superintendent of the Bap-
tist State Association. She al
legged that after an abdominal
Smyrna times., 1962-02-01

operation, Doctor Marvel sewed
up a pair of hemostactic fore
cps in the wound, causing her
great suffering and necessitat-
ing a second operation to re-
move the instrument. The last
operation was performed by DR..
]. S. Baer, of Cooper Hospital,
Camden, who operated upon
Mrs. Folsom previous to Marvel
for another ailment. Doctor
Marvel declared that the case
against him had arisen from
professional jealousy. An array
of medical experts, among whom
is DR.. Henry w. Cattel, of Phil
adelphia, testified for Doctor
Marvel, who endeavored to
Smyrna times., 1962-02-01

prove to the jury that the in
strument was left in Mrs. Fol-
som by Doctor Baer at one of
the two earlier operations he
performed upon her. DR.. Mar
vel was represented by Former
Attorney General McCarter of
New Jersey and Mrs. Folsom by
ExJudge Westcott of Camden.
The attorneys for each side
were recognized legal giants
and the trial attracted much at
tention. The case was handed
over to the jury last evening
and the complete vindication OF
DR.. Marvel was what had all
along been expected. He is not
ed as one of the most careful
and successful surgeons in New
Jersey and asserted from the
beginning that there was no
possibility of an instrument be-
ing left in the incision he made.
The costs of the expensive trial
fall heavily upon Mrs. Folsom.
The news of DR.. MarvePs ac-
quittal and exhonoration is re-
ceived with pleasure by his
friends not only in New Jersey
but throughout Delaware, his
native state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hirons Denney
were given a complete surprise
by their friends and neighbors
Monday evening on the occasion
of their 10th wedding anniver-

of refreshments to complete the
evening. 1t was a complete sur
prise for MIR. and Mrs. Denney
and one which they enjoyed
heartily. Among those present
were Senator and Mrs. Edward
G. Walls, MIR. and Mrs. Samuel
