WOODS TRAGEDY SEQUEL

MURDERER OF WAITRESS

HANGED AT LEEDS

David Maskill Blake (20) was hanged at Armley Jall, Leeds, at 9 o'clock of recent morning for the murder of Emily Yeomans, a Leeds cafe waltress, by strangling her with her own scarf in Middle- ton Woods, on the outskirts of Leeds, on the night of October 16. When-Blake's appeal against the death sentence was dismissed by the Court of Criminal Appeal, Lord Hewart, the Lord Chief Justice, described the murder as, a cruel and treacherous one.

The trial at Leeds, before Mr. Justice Goddard, evoked extra- ordinary public interest because of the fact that the case rested so much on circumstantial evidence And highly scientific testimony relating to the nature of a strand of wool torn from Blake's clothing. Misa Yeomans, who was 23 years of age, was seen to meet a man shortly after 7.30 on the night of the murder, and to walk with him in the direction of the Middleton Woods, where her body was found next, morning. That same day, at the register office at Leeds, Blake married a waitress at another cafe by whom he had had a child. This woman, in the witness-box, sword that a box of powder found in Blake's room and said to have be- longed to Miss Yeomans, was her property, but this evidence was negatived by analytical chemists.

SERVICE AT PRISON ENTRANCE

A crowd of over 600 assembled outside the jail shortly before nine o'clock on the morning of Blake's death. Amongst them were several Salvation Army officers. Blake as a boy was at one time in the Salvation Army.

A Salvation Army officer in uni- form distributed hymn sheets amongst the crowd and intimated that a little service of prayer would be held at nine o'clock.

The service opened with the singing of "Jesu, Lover of my soul," after which prayers were said. As the hour struck, most of the crowd bared their heads.

A sermon lasting about five minutes was delivered, and at the conclusion a man in the crowd shouted, "Thou shalt not kill The service ended with the Binging of the hymn, "Abide with me."

DOCTOR'S ERROR

INFORMATION: KEPT FROM PATIENT

?

NOMINAL DAMAGES

Judgment for five guineus against a doctor was given in the King's Bench Division, London, In the action in which the doctor was alleged, accidentally, bavo left the broken needle of a hypodermic syringe in a woman's body.

Mra. The plaintiffs, Mr. and Aaron Gerber, of Upper Maryle- bone Street, London, brought an action for damages against Dr. Pines, of Philpot Street, London, alleging that during a hypodermic Injection on Mrs. Gerbor, defendant left part of a needlo in her back. Defendant denied negligence.

Mr. Nerman Richards was brief-

ed for plaintiffs, and Mr. Henry Dickens for defendant.

по

Mr. Justice du Parcq said that as to some of the allegations of

was really negligence, there evidence. Unfortunately there was a good deal of dispute between plaintiffs and the doctor as to some incidents and conversations be- tween them, but much of the case WRE common ground and he was not confronted with any great dif- ficulty by the conflict of evidenca."

Is Lordship said it was quite clear that no negligence in the performance of the operation was proved against Dr. Pines. The in- Jection was administered much s the previous ones were, though there might have been some dif- ference in the posture of the patient

It was suggested that the doctor did not use a suitable needle. Needles were all liable to break. They might break through careless

handling, but there was no evidence that there had been any careless handling in this instance.

A needle might break because of an involuntary movement on the part of the patient. Mrs. Gerber was a very nervous woman, and Mr. Gerber was also anxious that she should not be told she was seriously ill. The doctor said he thought it was not wise in the circumstances to tell the patient the needle was in her body, but it seemed to his Lordship that as a general rule the patient in whose body a doctor finds that he has left some foreign substance was titled to be told so at ones.

LAYMAN'S VIEW

CI)-

Spenking as a layman, he thought there was something to be anld for the suggestion that it would have been wiser to have made the in- jection in the arm, but he could not possibly hold that it negligent to make the injections in the body..

Wha

In His Lordship's view, it was most important that the doctor should have told either the patient, or her husband, before she left the surgery that there was a risk that the needle might move from where it was,

Dr. Pines eald, and he was justi- fed in the result, that he thought the needle would remain fixed where it was in the muscle.

In the circumstances, His Lord- ship found that the doctor had not taken every reasonable stop. The risk of telling the woman that the needle was in her body was not too great and he ought to have taken that risk instead of letting her go home with a piece of foreign sub- stance in her body.

Is Lordship held there had been a breach of duty on the part of the loctor, but that the medical expenses, the hospital charges and the engagement of house ceper did not flow from that breach. Apart from some small Items, the only damages he could award were for pain and suffering during the the two or three daya - before revelation of the fact that the needle was in the plaintiff's body.
