MUTILATING THE DEAD.
THE ADELAIDE SENSATION. United Press Association—By E'ectrio Toletfraph—Copyright. ADELAIDE, September 16. At the Smith enquiry, Sir Josiah Symon, Dr. Smith's counsel, said the particulars of all tho charges were extracted from Dr. Smith's own books. There had been no improper mutilation of the dead, and nothing beyond what was contemplated by the Anatomy Act. If such acts as Dr. Smith performed were not allowed, the medical profession had better tako down its signboard and shut up the hospitals. It was admitted that the accusers, Drs. Desmond and Owen-Smyth, wanted Dr. Smith out of the service on Uie ground of personal ill-will. Evidence was given by medical professors of the Adelaide University that Dr. Smith was following the universal practice of taking specimens, and that there had been no wantonness or unnecessary mutilation.
