    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.
Other Supreme Court deci

Judging from the number
of letters I receive asking
about cirrhosis of the liver,
it must be be
coming a fair
ly common
disease. 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). Oc

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
