THE HAD WEN TRIAL
ACQUITTAL AMIDST CHEERING, DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ANTITOXINS. (Received Oct. 30. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Nov. 29. There were wild scenes at the close of the Hadvre-n trial. When the jury returned with a verdict of “not guilty”, loud cheers broke out in the crowded court, such as are rarely heard in a court, of justice. The officials were powerless to stay the cutbreak. The larger crowd outside vociferously demonstrated when they heard that the doctor had been acquitted. Dr. Had -veil, in a series of answers to the Judge, declared that he din not believe in the efficacy or antitoxin treatment. The injection of poisoned horse blood into the human body was unscientific and contrary to nature. He discarded tho whole germ theory of disease as unscientific. Air Justice Lush: If the majority of doctors favor anti-toxin? Officials statistics show that it has reduced the diphtheria death rate by onethird. Docs not this make your responsibility the heaviest ? Dr. Hadv.cn : Tite whole profession once favored bleeding.—A. raid X.Z.C.A.
