GAMBLE WTH LIFE.
Doctor To Inoculate Criminal With Leprosy. " CAN BE CURED." (Australian and N.Z. Pross Association.) RIGA, October 7. An amazing story of a doomed man's gamble with life has been revealed. Dr. Sniker, of the Latvian Leprosy Institute, has obtained the consent of the authorities to experiment in inoculation upon a criminal named Kirstein, who at present is under sentence of death. Dr. Sniker contends that leprosy is not contagious and can be cured. He will inject matter from a living leper into Kirstein's body. The man has consented to the experiment under a promise that his sentence will be remitted, though he will have to remain in gaol.
