Oregon Supreme Court Decisions Salem-fllPD-The second de Sree murder conviction ol Bill Unsworth, Klamath Falls, was reversed Wednesday by the Oregon Supreme Court. A new trial was ordered. Unsworth had pleaded not guilty to the murder by Tea son of insanity. He had been examined by three psychia trists before the trial. One of the three said Uns worth couldn't tell right from wrong and found his mental condition made him unable to assist in his own defense. The other two held the opposite opinion. Only Two Appear However, only two of the psychiatrists appeared at the trial. One said the defendant was incompetent and the oth er disputed that view. Both doctors testified the third had said Unsworth was able to tell right from wrong. The Supreme Court said that it was an error to allow the findings of the third doc tor because he wasn't present and it was hearsay evidence.

In most cases, t h e function ing cells of the organ largely disap pear, leaving the arteries. Aivarei veins, bile ducts and connective tissue. The liver is then like a house with its contents gone: all that is left are the walls, the water and sewer pipes, and electric conduits, all pushed together into a small package. Fortunately, the cirrhotic process can quiet down, and much of the liver can regen erate. The disease then be comes stationary at a point at which it permits the per son to live and perhaps to live comfortably. In other cases, and especially when the patient does not mend his ways, the condition gets worse and worse. Alcoholism is only one of the factors that can produce this disease; in many in stances, the cause is obscure. In non-alcoholics, the disease could have begun with a hepatitis (an inflammation of the liver due to a virus).

PHfJJgJ jure the liver and make jaundice. In the early stages, the liver may be either large or small, depending on the amount of destruction of the functioning cells, the amount of deposition of fat, the amount of scarring, and the amount of contraction of the sear tissue. Actually, only a moderate percentage of people who constantly drink loo much de velop cirrhosis. Some men can drink a fifth of whiskey every evening and not get into trouble. Certain sensitive persons are easily poisoned by alcohol, while other tough ones can stand a lot of it. Symptoms May Be Vague , The symptoms, especially at first, may be vague, con sisting largely of a lack of appetite, weakness, and a tendency to feel tired. Later, the person may get jaundiced; he may get a swelling of the abdomen as it fills up with fluid, and maybe will get a swelling of the ankles; also there may be fluid at the base of the lungs; the palms of the hands may get red; and a man may show some peculiar feminizations. The small veins in the skin may enlarge, and sometimes big veins form around the navel. The spleen will enlarge. Very important is a great enlargement of the veins in the gullet, because later these big veins can rupture, and can cause the patient to bleed severely from the mouth. One cause of death is what is called hepatic coma. Because of poisons left In the blood, poisons that the diseased liver fails to filter out, the patient goes into a deep sleep, from which he may not rouse. Often the diagnosis can be made quickly with help of laboratory tests. In one of these tests, a certain chemical is injected into the blood stream. In the cases of normal persons it is put out in the bile soon; but in cases of per sons with cirrhosis of the liver, most of it is still present at the end of an hour. There are other blood tests that re veal the presence of severe disease of the liver. Sometimes, especially in the early stages of the disease, the diagnosis will be difficult. The symptoms may be due to a hepatitis, or cancer grow ing in the liver, or destruction of the liver-cells caused by heart disease, with a backing up of much blood into the organ. Nowadays, in doubtful cases, what is called a biopsy of the liver is made. Some thing like a large hypodermic needle Is pushed into the or gan. When it is pulled out, it carries a piece of liver which is then sectioned and stained and examined under the microscope. With such a specimen, an expert can usually tell what has gone wrong with the liver. If, in the early stages of an alcoholic cirrhosis, the person will quickly go "on the wagon" and will stay there, he or she may get well and live a long lime. Unfortunate ly, statistics I saw a while ago showed that a distress ingly large number of the alcoholics - even when Ihey knew that heavy drinking would mean the end of them -went back to the bottle. Nutritious Diet The physician will pre scribe a nutritious diet. When hemorrhage from the gullet appears, he will combat it as best he can, and will replace the lost blood with transfu- s i o n s. He will give anti biotics whenever an infection appears. When the adbdomen fills with fluid, this is removed with the help of a trocar (a tube something like a huge hypodermic needle). Unfortu nately, soon after the removal of the fluid, it tends to come back. Sometimes the kidneys have to be stimulated to carry off some of the fluid, or poisons in the blood are re moved by repeatedly wash ing out the abdomen. Some times surgeons will perform an operation to enable the blond to go around the much narrowed blood vessels in the liver. Unfortunately, this operation exposes the patient to spells of dangerous poison ing ue te ittftv cat harm ful cknrava Ig his bloed, whict are eormill reawved by the liver. .
