The Case ot Wilson vs. tlio Johns Hopkins University. Baltimore. May 17.?It was dec1 tied by Judge Morris in the United States circuit court Saturday to take the case of James Wilson, of Roanoke, Va., against the Johns Hopkins University and Drs. Blootlgood and Clark, from the jury. Mr. "\YTison was suelng for $50,000 on the claim that tho physicians had made a mistake in an ^operation perfornietl upon him. After bearing the argument of Fielder C. Bllnglnff, foi the plaintiff, and Bern? ard Garter, for the hospital, the court held that "no 'testimony had been pro? duced to prove that either the trustees of tho hospital or the surgeons employed by them could be held liable. Tbeio were several remedies to he used, he said, as the experts who testified had shown. The only question to be considered was whether the one adopted was proper, nnd testimony had been produced to show that it was. The question, the court lield, was one for the professional judgment of those performing the operation, and not for it jury to decide. Regarding the responsibility of the hos? pital in the selection of physicians he said that it had been shown that Dr. Blood good's education 'had been thorough in every respect, ami his experience of sev? eral years in this class of work entitled him to be dossed as a competent surgeon, it had been testified that lie possessed unusual aptitude in this direction. As to Dr. Clark, he was an assistant, and, therefore took no'responsibility. Ever if the case had gone to the jury and a verdict found, he would, he said, have thought it his duty to set it aside.
