Hainelden Turn? Inquisitor.
Pr. Haiselder brok? in and asked:
"Is it not true that doctors decide
, this sort of thing for themselves every
day?" he asked. "The difference is
' thut there has been no publicity in
tl.eir c.'?srs."
"Well, I don't doubt that some ?loc

"Rut I think this case makes ? dnnirer

Coroner Hoffman turned to Dr.
Haiseldofl and asked:
"Don't you think it a dangerous cus
tor.a to allow one man to decide?"
"As long as the followers of certain
sects are allowed to bar physicians of
all sorts from the bedside of suffering
men I shall consider it my privilege to
make decisions of this sort," was the
answer.
Replying to the Coroner, Dr. Haisel
den ?aid that he took charge of the
case a few hours after the child was
born. "Dr. Serviss, who attended Mrs.
Bollinger, and the father came to me,"
he continued.

"The baby was fairly well nourished.
The head was deformed. There was
no ear and no neck. There was no

WOMEN AS BABY JURY,
MRS. BELMONT'S PLAN
Women should have been on the
jury' which discussed the right <>f
Dr. H J. I la i ?eld en to allow the de?
fective Chicago baby to die, de?
clared Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont.
"Both as mothers and as citizen?
women should have an equal nay In
any matter of life and death for
their children," sold Mrs. Relnwnt,
yesterday. "The Coroner might nay
he only wished to have the medical
opinion of his Jurors. In this event
I wish to point nut to him that
there are number? of women doe
tors in Chicago who should have
been asked iheir decision in this

justice and fairness the woman'"
side of IhiH question should haie
been represented in the linal de?
cision.
"The Coroner. I understand, says
that he chose the jury' to repre?
sent different schools of thought, as
well a* different schools of medi?
cine. He says: 'I am acting for the
benefit of mankind and the advance?
ment of the science of medicine.'
"It is strange that in all this
thought for the benefit of mankind
it never occurred to him that women
might be concerned in the matter
of their babies' lives quite as much
as men."

but a public board, ?should have such
power as Dr. Haiselden exercised.
course of an experimental food In un
effort to locate the exact nature of the
intestinal disorders. The child could
not have lived without an operation,
!.. raid, adding that he thought it
?vould be dangerous to operate.
Dr. Haiselden testified that reasons
for refusing to operate were, first, the
deformity of the child, and, second,
the seriousness of the operation to tne
child. It ?vas immaterial to him, he
said, whether the parents brought in
another physician or not.
The child was not blind, but thero
?vas a sluggish reaction to the light
on the part of the pupils, the doctor
asserted. "It was deaf in one ear. I
do not know about the other ear, but
it probably was deaf there, too," he
went on. He had seen only one baby
just like this one, but had observed
many similar cnildren at Dunning In?
sane Asylum.
"The baby was too stupid to cry," he
said. "The mother didn't nurse it, be?
cause she didn't want to see it. It
might have lived a few months, or
maybe a number of years. There was
little chance that it ever would be?
come normal, either mentally or physi
eally. The paralysis would always be
there and the ear always ?vould be
missing. It always would be defec?
tive."
"What is your conception of a doc?
tor's duty?" Dr. Ludwig Hektoen, the
foreman asked.
"To give the patient the best of treat?
ment as dictated by a doctor's kno??l
edge of his profession," Dr. Haiselden
replied.

Four young inmates, thought to

hatched the scheme, were, to use h
words, "headed for Canal Street to s?

Here is the tale the youth rel.;te?l t

Several ??a>s ago two boys. Durki

Beepital. Hoy was taken into tha piar
r? ? .vas the Newman girl, altboOgb h
' insists he had nothing to ?o with work

, manner that was not included in th
j tale, wa? obtained and left, secare!;

Last night after the inmates had en

few minutes later by the girl, who fle<
1 the mesa hall when she had tinishe?

tide? they thought might be useful ir
furnishing means for travel.
The four entered the boat and sel
off through the choppy waters. AI
\ took turns at the oars, the Newman
girl being relieved by one of her com
, panions when she became fatigued;
they tired quickly, and the shifting
from seat to seat was frequent. The
party had all it could do to keep the
tiny craft from capsizing, but managed
' to land after the rough journey through
i the Bronx Kill? not far from the

Deserting their boat, the quartet be
' gan the second leg of their journey
afoot. Durkin and Quinn carried va?
lises well tilled, the other? bundle?
hastily tied together. But their tramp
had not gone far before Patrolman
Anderson spied them. All he could
make out was four figure?, obviously
burdened by their goods, creeping
stealthily along, falling now and then
in the maze of switches.
He started after them, but they saw
him and ran, separating into two
squads. Anderson followed one, and
caught Hoy and the girl within two
blocks. The boy still had his bundle,
but one of his companions had dropped
his heavy .suitcase among the tracks,
?till carrying his stolen property under
his arm.
At the Walton Avenue station the
girl presented a pitiable sight. She
