Dr. Alexander Was on the Stand this Afternoon. LOEBINGER A RAMBLER In His Opinion—Believes Pinkston Was Suffering From Smallpox. At the resumption of the Hanson case In Judge Sullivan's court this afternoon Dr. Alexander, who brought the charge of failing to report the MeCants smallpox case against Dr. Hanson, went on the stand to testify in rebuttal. Te examined the photographs of MeCants, submitted by the defendant, and said they were very imperfect. Referring to the iodine which Dr. Han son claims was administered to MeCants, and which he says produced the eruption. Dr. Alexander said iodine was usually administered as a liquid while McOants's nurse had informed him that the iodine was taken by the patient in powdered form. In the witness' opinion Mr. Pinks ton, was ill of smallpox when he was be ing treated by Dr. Hanson. The cross-examination then began. "I understand that you disagree with Dr. Loebinger, who is a dermatologist," remarked Attorney Haldorn by way of preface. "I do," was the emphatic reply, more of a rambler than a dermatologist. "Doctors disagree again," said Mr Haldorn, "Did you ever see Pinkston be fore?" "I did not." "And you think he had the smallpox?' "I do." He is "Why?" "Because the symptoms which he said he had were those of the disease. The cross-examination was a searching; one and the doctor acquitted himseif in a very professional manner. The wit ness was on the stand when the Inter ! Mountain went to press. ; William Pinkston, proprietor of the Ar- ' gyle lodging house, testified that on Sep- j tomber 24. he suffered from symptoms I very similar to those ascribed to Mi-rants. He called in Dr. Hanson, who admtnis- ! tered iodine, and in a few days a profuse j eruption broke out on his face, body and the palm of his hands. Miss Anna Daugherty, a trained nurse who attended Pinkston during his illness, corroborated his testimony. Drs. Cayley and Molleur testified to having made an examination of MeCants at Dr. Hanson's Invitation. They agreed that MeCants was not suffering "from smallpox. The principal expert for the defendant was Dr. Loebinger, who testified that he ivas a graduate of two German medical colleges, and had formerly been professor of dermatology in the University of Ber- lin. He said he had seen many cases of smallpox, and had made an examina- tion of MeCants at Dr. Hanson's request He was of the opinion that the eruption had been caused by the use of iodine If MeCants had been ill of smallpox the eruption would have been a body. He then entered into aissertatoin on skin diseases I ! >ver his learned general. DR. MONROE LET OUT. DR. O'LEARY SUCCEEDS HIM AS SMALLPOX PH YS1 CI A X.

Congressman Campbell returned today from Washington, stating that he had se- . , , . . . cured leave of absence and would remain j here for about a week, to give attention to a matter of business. "It was," he said, "the intention of congress to adjourn for the holidays after the vote on the cur rency bill. Bishop of Michigan agreed to pair with me on the measure or to se cure me a pair among the republicans." Discussing the Quay case, Mr. Campbell said, that it looked very much as though the appointee of the governor of Penn sylvania would not be given a seat in the senate. He bases this conclusion, 'upon ! the general talk around Washington, the i opinions of the newspaper men and the j fact that no vacancies have been left on the committees for Quay. Should the ...... ... ^ ...„U Pennsylvanian be denied a scat it will settle the matter of appointments f rom I California, Utah and Delaware, but will ' in no way affect the chances of the jun- ; lor senator from Montana As to the case of polygamist Roberts of I Utah, Mr. Campbell said that it was very ! apparent that he would be knocked out in i conformity with the wishes of the people! who are asking for it.
