course.’ “The District Attorney's office 1s quasi-judicial,’’ said Justice Fitzgerald, ‘“‘and he has. the right to summon and examine witnesses, but when he comes into court he is bound by the same rules of evidence as the attorneys for the defense. “I sustain the obfection,”’ concluded the Court. Jerome announced he will call Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton, the allenis who was first employed by the defense. Mr. Jerome then said he would call Dr. Bingaman for the State in rebuttal, and asked permission to. take his tes- timony in the form ef a deposition.

We tried to give it up, first by reducing our allowance to one cup a day; then we managed to give it up altogether for a few days. But the craving returned and we went back to the coffee and the sleeplessness and nervous trouble. “Then, reading the advertisement of Postum Food Coffee, I bought a pack- My husband was skeptical and refused to try it. However, he noticed that IT was sleep- ing better, and one morning declared that he envied me my sound slumber.

He drank two cups and left his coffee untasted, and from that time has used Postum exclusively, and he cannot praise the miraculous »ower of Postum Food Coffee too high- y. It has not only brought us sound, refreshing sleep and taken away our nervous exhaustion, but we have found that usually all the breakfast we need ean be made on Grape-Nuts and Pos- tum Food Coffee.

Dr. Liovd confronted Beyart and Har- ter. but they were unable to reconc.le their testimony as to their respective parts in caring for Matousek. In the course of his cross-questioning of Dr. Edwin L. Shahan, one of the phy- sicians who made t*e preliminary exam- ination of Matousek at the hospital, Dr. Lloyd advised the vounger physician to treat alcoholic patients like infants and not be -satisfied to pronounce’ them drunk. Dr. Lloyd declared that it was wrong to attribute semi-consciousness,or quar- relsomeness to a patient's being intox- icated. George Beatty, who testified that he had informed Joseph F, Kolar. Matu- sek’s employer of the Apered mistreat- ment of the patient by Duvis, was very

positive in his assertions that the guard had jumped on Matousek. Dr. Bunch, who advised that an op- eration be performed on Matousek, said he first noticed the mark on the patient’s abdomen the next morning after his arrival at the hospital. The discoloration was about a foot long and a quarter of an inch wide. He didn't think it could have been caused by the pressure cf a man’s Knees, but rather by a blow with a4 board or rod. He said Matousek could not remember having been hurt and he did not complain of ill usage at the hospital or elsewhere. All the physicians examined by Dr. Lloyd denied that Matousek had charged Davis or any’other attendant at the hospital with having handled him roughly. Associate City Counsellor Charles P. Williams attended the inquest. Beat- ty was the only. witness he quegtioned. He- asked Beatty how many times he had been under treatment for alcohol-’ ism and about his mental condition the night of Matousek’s entrance into the hospital. Other questions were di- rected at Beatty's oppertunities for seeing what passed in the ward. . ome — ~——- a timony in another case in which he said paranoia had been described -in = all books of value since 500 years before Christ.
