PRITCHARD One of the most exciting murder trials in Edinburgh in the past cen tury was that of Dr. Edward Pritch ard, which began on July 8. 1SG5. be fore Lords Ardmillan and Jervis wood. The charge against Dr. Pritchard was the murder of his wife and his mother-in-law in Glas gow, lie was accused of having ad midistered tartarized antimony, aco nite and opium in tapioca to his mother-in-law, as well as in porter or beer, and in a patent medicine, lie was also accused of giving his wife the same dose in articles of food and of medicine. The chief witness against the doc tor was the family cook, Mary Lati mer, who testified that during the preceding February Mrs. Pritchard was frequently sick, and that upon one occasion she said to her hus band, when standing at her bedside, "Don't cry, for if you do you are a hypocrite." A housemaid, Mary M'Leod, detail ed, during the examination of four hours, the circumstances of the death of Mrs. Pritchard and her mother, Mrs. Taylor. During his wife's ill ness, she said, most of the time Pritchard was the only person who attended her, and that her attacks would invariably come after her meals. The housemaid also told of a promise the doctor had made to her that he would marry her, if his wife died. The prisoner gave her a ring, a brooch and a photograph of him self. Another witness was a new cook, who had been secured in Mary Lati mer's place. She arrived upon the day of Mrs. Taylor's death. Only on a few occasions had she been called upon to earn,- her mistress' meals to her room, but instead Dr. Pritchard always inissted in taking them to his wife. Thomas Alexander Connell, a medi cal student who boarded with the Pritehards, was also an important witness. Dr. Patterson, a resident physician, was called in to prescribe for Mrs. Pritchard a short time be fore her death, which was so sudden that he reported to the register that Mrs. Pritehards death was "extreme ly sudden, unexpected and to him, mysterious." For the defense Dr. Cowan, of Edinburg, a friend of Mrs. Pritch ard's, deposed that Dr. Pritchard and Mrs. Taylor, the mother-in-law had lived on good terms with each other. and the prisoner's father-in-law said his daughter and Dr. Pritchard lived happily together. A member of the Glasgow Apothe caries Company was an important witness against the doctor, for he testified that Pritchard, within two or three months of the deaths, pur chased more tartarized antimony than (lid all the rest of the Glasgow doc tors together. The doctors who examined the bodies found every evidence of poi son. It was also brought out at the trial that Mrs. Taylor had control of $15,000 and that she had made a will leaving it to her daughter, and to Dr. Pricthard in the event of the daughters' death. The most pathetic part of the trial was the examination of the eleven-year-old son and fourteen-year-old daughter of the Pritehards. , The son said that his papa and mamma lived very nappuy together, and were very fond of one another. The prisoner was much affected when the children were under examination. The Solicitor-General then address ed the jury for the Crown and con tenneo mat trie only two persons who had any opportunity to perte trate the murders were the prisoner and Mary M'Leod, and that in the nature of the murder they could al most detect the finger of a doctor. Mr. Clark, the chief attorney for the accused, in his address to the jury, contended that the prosecution had failed to trace the poisoning to the prisoner. The case was then summed up by Lord Justice Clerk The jury was only out an hour when they brought in a verdict of guilty against Dr. Pritchard of both mur ders. The prisoner was then sen tenced to be executed at Glasgow on the twenty-eighth of July. Borne aays after the trial the prisoner volunteered a confession to the Rev. Mr. Oldham, the clergyman wno attended him, in which he de clared himself, in a solemn statement in writing, which he drew up with great care and deliberation, to have been guilty of poisoning his wife but avowed his innocense of murdering ins motner-in-iaw. Eight days later, However, he retracted this statement aim maae a second confession in wnicn ne also admitted poisoning Mrs. layior. He was executed on the date originally set.

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING STATE WIDE The very Important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign 1n favor of a constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important ques tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons. The Republican has decided to pro vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages, allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles, .for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published. It Is only stipulated that the com nunlcations for and against prohibi Alcoholism and Physical Deterioration That alcholic abuse does an incal culable harm no one denies. The offi cial papers of the breweries and dis tilleries admit it, and every scientific and statistical fact demonstrates it be yond question, In all those states where the liquor traffic is free and un hambered the percentage of insane, tuberculous, criminal, weaklings and physically unfit is so far greater than in states where the traffic is somewhat curtailed (there being no real prohibi tion anywhere in the United States), that no thinking man can fail to see it. New York state with 35,275 liquor dealers has one insane for every 290 people. Fifteen southern states with a total of 12,000 liquor deajers has one insane for every 880 people. The in crease in insane is almost in exact ratio to the increase in liquor dealers. Bezzola found that out of every seven ty idiots in Switzerland, one-half were conceived during the "Swiss carouse" covering the fourteen weeks of the an nul wine harvest, the other half being ; istributed through the balance of the ' ear. A though statistical studies I might be quoted. So firmly is the con- ; nection between alcoholic abuse and nsanity, that medical science can fore- i tell almost to a certainty the physical j and mental characteristics of a child i born of parents who were drunk at the time of conception. An epileptic r idiotic argues a drunken parent or j grandparent. j Put there is no dispute about the ef- i feet of excessive alcoholism upon eith- i er the immediate victim or his off- I pring. The entire contest hinges upon the effect or absence of effect of mod- rate quantities of alcohol upon the physical and mental stamina or the rdinary man or woman. The liquor partizans interested and disinterested, have taughe and still teach, that mod erate amounts of alcohol, not only are not detrimental but are benefical. It claimed that one cocktail a day or a glass of beer a day, or long periods of abstinence broken by a glass or two of wine at social gatherings are not detrimental but rather enhance the physical well-being or conduce to in tellectual brilliancy. It is also claimed i that prohibition of the privilege will lead to the abuse, that beer drinking tends to diminish the harm done by alcoholic excesses: that the beer and light wine countries do not show the effects of alcoholic excesses; that it is an unwarranted abuse of personal privilege to forbid the sale of liquors to moderate drinkers simply because some weaklings overdo the privilege. All these statements are still being made, in spite of the dicta of science, of fact, and of economics, that they are not true. What is the immediate and ultimate effect of alcohol in moderation on phy sical efficiency and upon physical and mental resistance to disease? Can the moderate drinker or the oc casional drinker be the progenitor of absolutely healthy heritage? These are the questions scientific men and physiologists have long since answered, but the world still blindly refuses to see. Every atom of scienti fic proof is on the side which says that beginning with the first drop of alco hol, its effect is to diminish cell activ ity and lessen mental efficiency. Any apparent increase in mental brilliancy is due to depression, it being a well- known psychic fact that when the higher intellectual centers are depress ed, those of imagination and fancy are unbridled and an apparent intellectual brilliancy results. We frequently hear the argument that in the "good old days" fifty years ago, whiskey was on every sideboard and used by all members of the family, and, consequently, there was no exces sive alcoholism. This was true, and there were intellectual giants in those families, but there have been an ap palling scarcity in the succeeding gen erations of those same families. There are several interesting statistical studies on the prominent families of fifty yeers ago; those families which drank whiskey in moderation, those families in which the mint julep and morning and evening "dram" was an institution have reaped a crop of alco holic deaths in succeeding generations. of tuberculous offspring, of alcoholic sterilty, which is one of the most start ling demonstrations of the ultimate ef fect of moderate alcoholism in the his tory of the world. It will be seen, with a little study that these promi nent families, north and south, have either become extinct, are rapidly be coming so or are, today, represented only by physical or moral weaklings. There are exceptions, of course, but a little study .will be convincing. Thev have followed the law of nature and have been eliminated as unfit. It may be true that a man can build into his protoplasmic structure, alcoholic ef fects and 'escape the immediate penalty but it is certainly true that the effects will follow Gallon's Law of Hereditv and appear in his progeny. The tend ency will be established and that tend ency will be just as great as is the alcoholic indulgence minus the individ ual power to resist the alcoholic pio sonlng. With one cocktail or beer a dav, the tendency will not be far, but will be just as certainly present. The hope of this and every other country is to have healthy babies, to have them born of a healthy parentage, tion be just and fair and that In no case shall there be any wild and ex travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order. It is suggested by The Republican that either side, desiring to avail it self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the -issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines. No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted. have them mature into strong men and women and take their rightful place in society. When we find that out of every four children born, one dies be fore he is a year old and that this death is usually due to some physical depravity in parent or grandparent, it is time to question whether the causes underlying this 25 per cent of econo mic loss cannot be diminished. This 25 per cent of deaths under one year is not due to poverty purse, because the nation having the lowest infant mor- tality is one of the poorest in the world, Norway. The percentages for the United States, Germany, England, France and Italy range between 20 per cent and 25 per cent, Germany hav ing the highest percentage of babies born weaklings, 27.5 per cent. The difference between Germany's 27.5 per cent and Norway's 8 per cent lies in the alcoholic degeneration in the great beer drinking country and the physical integrity born of abstinence in the pro hibition country.

Bauer and Bollinger of Munich report that "beer drinker's heart" stands next to tuberculosis as the cause of death in Munich. Helmholtz, Kraepelin, Kurz, Voit, Schaeffer, Bayer, Bauer, Bollinger, Von Molke, among the greatest scientists of Ger many, have established by the most exhaustive and delicate investigations on human beings, covering ten years and by statistical facts embracing the entire German empire, that th,e malt beverages of German diminish muscu lar and mental power, produce deter ioration in offspring, are at the basis of the two scourges of Germany, tub- .erculosis and heart disease. These studies have lead to the public de claration by the German Emperor that the German army will lose its supre macy if beer drinking is not sup pressed. Among the causes of spinal tuber culosis, hio joint disease of children, lung tuberculosis and gland tubercu losis (scofula) moderate alcoholism takes so high a place that the Inter national Congress on Tuberculosis which met in Paris passed the follow ing resolution: "In view of the close, connection be tween alcoholism and tuberculosis, this Congress strongly emphasizes the im portance of combining the fight arrainst tuberculosis with the struggle against alcoholism."
