SAVED BY HAIR
PATHOLOGIST WHO CONDUCTED While planning his holiday in his study at his residence at Beaumont Jersey. Dr. Hugh Millar Galt fell back and died- from a heart attack. He and his sister had been tracing their holiday route on a map. Dr. Galt, a noted pathologist, conducted more than 14,000 post-mor-tem examinations. He regarded as his first famous case that of a medical student, James Malone, accused of murdering his landlady. A bunch of hair was produced, and the prosecution alleged it was torn from the landlady’s head when Malone dragged her downstairs. For the defence Dr. Galt proved that the hairs had been combed out, by the woman herself—and Malone was acquitted.
