Attorney William Ml. Smith Gets*
Injunction Against Sweat Bnxf
Methods of Detectives.
William M. Smith, attorney, filed an
injunction suit today against Chief N,
A. Lanford of the detective depart
ment. Detectives Bullard and Doyal
and their associates, asking that they
be required to remove Peter Burnett,'a
negro prisoner, from a “sweat box” on
the. third floor of the police;station, and
that he be permitted to see the prison
er, who is his client.
Mr. Smith states that Burnett, a ne
gro, Is held "oh suspicion." but he be
lieves his client is to be charged with
murder. He has been refused permis
sion to see his client, and denied ad
mittance to the "sweat box” or storage
room on the third floor, where Burnett
was being given the “third degree" by
the detectives.
The attorney says he appealed to
Chief Lanford to introduce witnesses
at the examination of Burnett, to see
that he got a "fair deal,” and that all
evidence produced at the examination
be truthfully given, but that he was
denied this. In his petition for injunc
tion he denounces "third degree" meth
ods as barbarous and inhuman.
Judge Ellis issued an order requiring
the detectives to release the prisoner
from the third floor room, return him
to the regular cells and desist from ex
torting confessions from him. The ne
gro is held on suspicion of killing John
Hardwick, another negro, at the Jack
son street show grounds last night.

that of Schwartz. Taken to viesv It a
second time by the police, he said: "No
it is not Nathan. I am sure. There is
no resemblance."
The police, dissatisfied with his con
flicting statements, sent for Samuel
Schwartz, father of Nathan to view the

NEW CURE FOR LOCKJAW
IS FOUND IN BALTIMORE
BALTIMORE. July 17. The survival of
Bernard Myeriy. nine years old, a victim
of lockjaw resulting from a stonebruise,
lias increased interest in the method of
treatment used in the case by Dr. Pearce
Kintzing. This is the ninth of a series of
lockjaw cases in which Dr. Kintzing and
his assistants at the Franklin Square hos
pital have used a new plan of treatment
with success.
The remedy is a solution of phenol of
10 per cent strength, diluted to suit the
cases and administered by hypodermic
injections deep into the muscles. The in
jections are made at Intervals of about
three hours at the start, with longer in
tervals as the patients rallied. The full
adult dose used is equivalent to about one
grain of pure crystalline phenol, ten drops
of the 10 per cent solution. To avoid
soreness, in some cases one-half of the
solution diluted is injected and then the
other half injected in another place.
COURT HOLDS SURGEON
MAY CUT AS HE WILLS
TRENTON, N. J.. July 17.—That a sur
geon instructed to perform a certain op
eration upon a patient may exceed his in
structions while the patient is under
ether and operate more extensively than
directed if he finds it necessary, is the
gist of an opinion just rendered by Jus
tice Garrison, of the supreme court. The
jurist was formerly a surgeon of note.
Harris Berman sued Dr. Victor Parson
net and got a verdict of SI,OOO because
the surgeon, who started to operate on
the left groin, found a more serious con
dition in the right, which threatened the
man’s life, and operated on It instead.
'('he patient was poor. Dr. Parsonnet
operated free of charge, and was sued
for assault and battery. The verdict is
set aside.
