Peart tine on Clauinrrt Am: S:3 n m for following day. 10 a in Mon day noon Saturday for Sunday a m there were some "differences" betwten Dr. Sander and Dr. Rob ert Biron. the medical referee who testified against him. These "differences" were at medical meetings, and docs not mean that there was ill feeling be tween the two men, because the friendliest of physicians differ with each other at times. Many doctors believe that Dr. Sander has "embarrassed" the medical profession by admitting that he did an "unethical act." The A.M. A. may not reprimand the doctor, but his county medi cal society may take some kind of action when the trial is over. His license has not been sus pended, but he has promised to suspend his practice pending de cision of the trial. Discussions Brought Out The discussion of medical men in Ihc privacy of their staff meet ings or in hospitals during the course of their work usually Is kept from the public but In this trial, the public has learned of what goes on behind the scenes. Some of It has been too technical for a lay person to un derstand. The "mercy killing" angle Is out of the trial officially, but it may be a determining factor, one way or another, when the jury begins to decide whether Dr. Sander should be punished. Most people around here be lieve a ' hung jury" Is quite pos sible, with an acquittal more likely than a conviction. Book Borrower Can Continue Dissection Racine. Wis..
