Mount against seven local physicians, will go to the jury some time Fyittey- Teq of the thirteen witnesses to be called by the plaintiff in rebuttal have already been on the stand. The defense however, is not certain as to the ex tent of its surrebuttal but their coun sel is certain that Thursday will see the final evidence submitted, which will leave Friday for the presentation of the closing arguments. Plaintiffs Case Presented. The entire session of court yesterday was taken up with the witnesses by the plaintiff to give expert testimony regarding the medical case at issue. In thier communication to the county court, the physicians virtually charged Dr. Mount had drawn incorrect con clusions from an autopsy, over the body of Alec DeFord and stated that the conclusions were a medical im- j possibility. x Rhoda Dawson, graduate nurse at the Oregon City hospital, who had DeFord's case in charge was called by the plaintiff and examined by both sides at length. She testified as to his condition, but upon cross examina tion failed to substantiate her state ments made relative to the man's temperature, respiration, pulse, etc. Five doctors from .Portland were called by the plaintiff to testify as to the medical facts concerned. Dr. A. E Rockey, Dr. c. J. Smith, Dr. Geo. F. Wilson, Dr. A. J. Jiesy and Dr. An drew c. Smith were questioned at con siderable length as to the possibilities of death from a septic condition with in 31 hours, which the defendants, in their communication, alleged could never happen. Technical Questions Asked. Questions of the defense indicated that an effort will be made to extri cate their case from this statement on the technical grounds that It, in it self, presumed an impossibility. The statement read to the effect that "no person dies from a septic condition within 31 hours after the infection, especially where it is not followed by an abnormal rise in temperature or fever." The doctors were questioned by counsel for the defense as to whether or not a septic condition could cause death in itself, without some superinducing cause. The7 stated unanimously that without a superinducing cause there could be no septic condition, or infection. The defense, it is believed, in argument j TO BIG POLITICAL MEET Final Arrangement of Detail On Program of Enterprise Gathering Still Under Way.
