None of the pr vacles of individual or do Ine'tic life, no Inlltmity or disposition or flaw of character obi-ened during medical atlendancH. should eer be divulged by the physician except nhen loiprrntlvrly required lt.v the IiiWh of the Mute."

Kl'.SPI'lCTK l.AWYKK'S COl'P State Commlsslonei' of Health Dr. Sam uel G. Dixon did tint think the matter called for comment, because, lit- said, It was not right to bring the matter of "medical ethics" lnto the discussion until the facts 111 the case weie proved. Ho was Inclined to view the proceeding as an attorney's eliventh-hoiir attempt III behalf of a client, aigulng that if tliete was any malpractice It should liau been hiought out in couit when the man had his trial and not when It was too late to exhume the body of the victim, which, he said, In all probability, was decomposed by now. "However," lie supplemented, "there Is nothing In medical ethics to pieveut Doctor Thompson from giving the name of the physician supposed lo have been guilty of malpractice, if tlieie was any." Dr. William S. Wray, secietaiy of the County Medical Society, looked at the mat ter as did Doctor Dixon, saying there was no reason for any expression of opinion, until tly facts as reported were pioved. Ho added, though, that "medical ethics" don't make a point of defending guilty men. BOMB WRECKS CHICAGO SALOON; ROUTS TENANTS . . t Damages Buildings for Blocks Around. Nearby Residents in Panic.
