State Fires a Broadside Counsel for the state shot its broad side yesterday in trial of Dr. Frederick Edtvartfs, charged with causing the death of Lillian Holman, 18. January 14, by an illegal operation performed in his office December 14, 1923. Star witness for the state, Mrs. Daisy Beenis, 17, sister of the dead girl, called first on the witness stand, recited details of the alleged opera tion. Her testimony was somewhat con iradicted when Dr. A. P. Condon, staff physician at Nicholas Senn hos pital, who cared for the Holman girl the last days of her life, following blood poisoning from the alleged operation, said autopsy examination of certain organs did not reveal signs of condition necessitating the opera tion. His testimony was substantiated by Dr. J. H. Newell, associate surgeon at the hospital present at the autopsy. Many Women Present. Both were called as witnesses for the state. Defense Attorney Gene O'Sullivan attempted in examination of the two doctors to establish the fact that irregular conditions causing blood poisoning could have been caused by social disease. Morning crowds attending the trial were augmented by recruita during the afternoon. Half of the spectators wars women. In the majority young and good looking, who hung on every word of testimony. Many of the wo men were escorted by men slightly their senior. Effort will be made. It was Indicat ed by attorneys for the stats, to rest ita case tomorruw. Dying Statement Admitted. Dying statement of Miss Hcmnan, taken by Emmett Brumbaugh, at torney, friend of the dead girl's mother, on December SO, and the ap pended clause In which the girl ad mitted she knew she was dying, were admitted as svldence over objections of the defense attorney. Effort was made by the defenee to show that Miss Holman was In a be wildered mental condition during the last day* of her Ufa, during which she signed a atatement accusing Dr. Ed warde, as the result of drugs adminis tered to assuage her pain. • "Would these drugs which were ad ministered affect the mentality of the patient?" Dr. H. Newell, staff physi cian at Nicholas Senn hospital, called ae a state witness, was asked on cross examination. Little Effect. "Very little effect." “Would the drugs administered De cember *0 do so?” "They would have no marked ef fect." "Why not?” "Because the amount administered would only be sufficient to assuage pain." "Would they not make the patient susceptible to suggestion?” "No. I don't tffink so.” "But a norynal persoh would be be wildered?” "Yes.’* Here Deputy' County Attorney Yeager took the witness. "Did you say, before Miss Holman’s death, that, she could not recover?" After a reference to hospital records. Dr. Newell replied in the af flrmatlve: "Did you see the body?” "Yes, at the autopsy?" “Would you say on the evidence there that an illegal operation had been performed?” "No.” History Against Doctor "On tha history of the case?'* "Yes." Attorneys for the defense pressed this point further. "If the history could be relied on, you mean?" "Yes.” "By history you mean those cir cumstances which have been gathered hy other persons'.' ’ "Yes." Dr. NewsII substantiated the state ment of a previous medical witness that examination of the body revealed no direct evidence that an Illegal oper ation had been performed. Dr. Rdwards sat throughout the day back of Ills counsel, squinting In Ills characteristic manner, with which police and court attaches have be come familar since his arrest. G. R.
