BR. FRASER FREED
IN SLINGSBY CASE
Demurrer of Physician Ac
cused of Falsifying Birth
J Records fls Upheld •
. ,Iri'sVstain!nf? the demurrer entered 5
by counsel for Dr. IW. W. ... Fraser,
charged with falsifying a birth certi
ficate :in the Slingsby case, Superior
Judge Dunne yesterday automatically
dismissed the charge against the physi
cian.
Fraser was arrested at the Instance
of the 'state board of health. - Lieu
tenant Charles Raymond Slingsby and
his wife, Dorothy Cutler Slingsby, have
a son known "as the "million dollar
baby." The prosecution contends that
the real Slingsby heir was born dead
and that a child was substituted. Do
tor Fraser was accused of changing the
certificate."
The demurrer was entered on the
ground that the Information \ failed to
state a public offense. f Judge Dunne a
written opinion follows:
. - "It is | my. belief the* defendant's claim
that the indictment here fails to state
a public offense is correct, and for both
of the reasons suggested I do not think
that the 5 term 'instrument , ;as used in;
section 115 of the penal code includes*
in its scope a birth certificate. If held
to be such an instrument as Tls contem
plated by this action, the false state
ment in lit ■ complained iof here ; does not, ;
of Itself, make it a false or forged in
strument. The demurrer Is allowed."
|H District i Attorney Fickert 5 announced
that he $1 would i appeal. - Lieutenant i
Slingsby, his wife and their baby were
expected in San Francisco March 1, but
it developed that they had no Intention 'i
of coming to California to attend the
proceedings. ' -. ...
