Utah, on a charge ot manslaughter, the verdict ot Not Oull- ty was given to the defendant O. F. Waldrom. The case attracted a great deal-of attention, due to the severity of the charge and the contention of the Chlropractlo profession that the act upon which the Indictment was based was an Impossibility.;' ., , . v Both the medical and Chiropractic sides were represented by expert witnesses, not only from their own ranks but also by X-ray experts. The chargs of manslsughter hsd Its commencement by a death certificate being signed by Wttltam Baker M. D. of Fillmore, Utah, on September 14, 1922, which certificate certified the cause ot death of Seymour Branson to be 'fracture of Third and Fourth cervical cer-vical vertebrae by a chiropractic, adjustment on July 7th. 1922.". The practitioners of the new system of spinal adjustments known as Chiropractic, felt the charge was directed at the science, consequently conse-quently their support wss furnished to properly represent the defense. de-fense. Chiropractors declare that it Is Impossible for th strength of one maa to break th spinal segments of another by a chlropractlo ; Adjustment s n;.-:K:.s;. . ; ' A'0 case proceeded it was disclosed that Mr. Branson had complained com-plained ot his neck for several years. He wss Mckedby a mule eev-oral eev-oral years previously end had bis neck dlslocsted. The history revealed th fact that the man had a cancer cut from hla face several years ago. ' :;"- - i,MMr. Thody. an X-ray expert from the L. D. 8. HospIUl, was examined, ex-amined, and be Uted that when Mr. Branson was brought to his 'laboratory In September, the X-ray examination revealed beyond ft doubt that Mr. Branson hsd a cancer of the spine and neck which had. at that tlmo. eaten away, the third cervical vertebra to a Tery , danaevons degree, snd that the rotting process from the cancer had extended to part of th Second, Fourth and Fifth vertebrae. He stated stat-ed positively that be had not found any fracture of those vertebra. He disolsyed the X-ray picture of the patient and pointed out to the court the portion ot the epine that had disappeared under the rotting effect pf the cancer, ; , . . " Dr. Oeorae W. MIddleton, M. D. of Salt Lake City was called on the case for the prosecution, and be testified that he treated the said Branson at the LV,D 8. hospital with sereral other Medical Men. 0 He produced the hospital records showing th only treatment the - ' patient received was for cancer of the spine; and from these records . " It was definitely known that a good portion of the "Plae was eaten away. No fracture was mentioned in the hospital records, nor was the patient considered as having any fracture. His hospital records ? showed th principal treatment was the' administering ot morphine. 'After short stay ftt the hospital the patient was conveyed to his home near Flllmor., Within a short tlm the eating effect ot the cancer had progressed so far as to ww death. According to L statements made by th neighbors who helped nurs Mr. Branson, after his return from the hospital, a large abscess broke ' within his throat discharging a great amount of break-down from.ihe cancer. It was but ft few days after this discharge that Mr. Branson died, . and Dtr Baker certified the cause of death as being due to a broken neck, making no reference to the eating cancer and the consuming of the solnal segments from Its certain death- dealing process, nor of the diagnosis made by at least seven specialists In 8alt Lake City, that the patient had cancer rt ' , It was shown la the trial that Mr. Branson -made what was . referred to as a "Dying Statement" executed several days before his -death.' and a short time after the breaking of the abscess In his throat The statement was principally the work of the medical 'doctors who were attending htm. one of whom signed the death certificate. In th statement referred te, Mr. Branson declared that he went to Drr ,Ci; F Waldront 'of .Flllmor on July 7,1922'for an ftdJu8tmentr;He r stated the chiropractor nsed his knee on his neck and broke It; caus-tng caus-tng him to be unconscious fofbeut en hour: that when he came to ' hfa seqsea h procured a bnUner knlf and ran about trying to find Dr. Waldrom. but could not declaring that If he had. he would have killed him. He further stated ft was necessary for him to be carried to his home and that he was there confined for days wlthou being able to be out : :"i ""' 'J ."":'' Testimony waa Introduced by the defense which proved positively positive-ly that two people who witnessed the adjustment saw th patient walk Immediately to his dressing booth, and after dressing walk out of th office without complalnlnc. It was also proved by testimooy that he went directly from the Chiropractor's office to a garage across th street and there encased a man to take him by auto to a nearby settlement- He also mads arrangements for the same young man to call at four A. M. the following morning for him and two. other men to mak ft buying .trip to four or fire nearby towns. It -was? proved' that th four rode about 100 miles.' returning home late at nlghtj and not once aia nr. Branson compism of his necv bothering htm. This testimony shows the absolute falseness ,f . the f so-called "dying statement" of 'th t deceased ; drawn h up' with the t aid of the medical doctors, to which It was claimed that be lay unconscious for one hour and had to be carried home and be there confined for days. Testimony proved the msn was not confined to his home until un-til after the natural proeress of the cancer had made It necessary.
