ACQUITTAL OF U.S. DOCTOR
CASE CONSIDERED BY MEDICAL SOCIETY NEW YORK, March 14. The New Hampshire Sfhte Medical Society has refused to take disciplinary action against Dr. Hermann Sander, who was acquitted last Thursday on a charge of murdering a patient. The society debated the case for three hours to-day and then announced that disciplinary action was the province of the county medical society concerned. The State society could have recommended disciplinary action to the county society. Such action might have been censure, suspension, or even expulsion from membership. The New Hampshire Board of Registration in Medicine later set April 12 as the date for a meeting to consider whether Dr. Sander’s licence should be reyoked.
A jury last Thursday found Dr. Sander not guilty of killing Mrs Abbie Borroto, a cancer patient, by injecting air into her veins.
