"FRAME-UP" CHARGE MADE riijsioiHii Insists lie AVus Courteous to All Patients and Girls In His Office; cw Trial to Be Set This Afternoon. ' "With five jurors favoring conviction and one acquittal, after seven ballots had been taken, the jury in the Dr. Herbert W. Hegele case, in which the physician was charged with improper conduct toward girls seeking positions in his office, was discharged by Munici pal Judge Stevenson yesterday after noon. Time for a new trial will be set this afternoon. The jury's deliberations took 45 min utes. The case attracted more atten tion from the public than had any of Jate in tho Municipal Court and in the three days in which it was tried, the courtroom was crowded. Division of opinion among the visitors was so trong that occasional arguments all hut called for rebukes from the court. Aliened Plot IWot Bared. Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin, superintend ent of the Bureau of Public Safety for Women, did not take the witness stand nml some of the promised sensations did not develop. Allegations of con spiracy were again made in cries of frame-up" by Loyal H. McCarthy, at torney for Dr. Hegele. in his charge to the jury, but no evidence bearing on the "conspiracy" chargo was introduced yesterday. The case opened yesterday with Dr. Ilegeie again on the stand. He denied that he had made any reference to the J'igure of Miss Hazel Sluyter while he was treating her. The physician as serted with emphasis that he never adopted anything but a calm, courteous and professional attitude toward all his patients and the girls who came to his office seeking work. Ordinance Im ltcml. Ordinance No. 19625, passed in Tort land in 1909. section C of which for bids the giving of massage to one of another sex. with exceptions, includ irvg licensed physician or trained nurse to the sick, was read to the defend ant, and Dr. Hegele was asked if he knew of the provisions of that ordi nance. He asserted that he did. "Was Hazel Sluyter, or any of the applicants you massaged ill?" Mr. Delch asked. Tho defendant admitted they were Hot. Mrs. Mary D. Meserve, sister of Miss .Alphia Dimick, and in whose house Miss Sluyter was employed for three years and a half, testified to the girl's good character. Katherine W. Burns, of the Calvary Presbyterian Church told of the girl's good conduct in that institution. Airs. Frances Crozier, .ma tron of the Portland Women's Union was called to the stand, but gave no material testimony. In his charge to the jury, Mr. Deich summed up the evidence In the case. "Frame-np" Clmree Made. "If women of Mrs. Baldwin's posi tion are at liberty to get. a woman not above reproach whom she can use to tear down a character, if she can get away with It, which one of you men are not subject to a 'frame up?' " charged Attorney McCarthy to the jury. "Dr. Hegele is not prosecuted, but persecuted," he continued, "and has been for a period of three years. This case is a frame-up.' No one of respon sible character dares to sign a com plaint against this poor, unfortunate man who has already suffered thou sands of dollars of damage to his repu tation. Judge Earl C. Bronaugh addressed the jury briefly, saying that it was the first time in 23 years' practice that he liad stood before a jury in a criminal case, and that he did this time because of a sense of outrage at the attack on Jiis personal friend, Dr. Hegele. Strong's brother, Frederick H. Strong, as foreman of the grand jury, has de clared that the changes are Impera tive. I hope now we shall be able to get the improvements we have asked." A. W.
