"HEALER" HAINES GUILTY.
So Says Mayor Duncan In a Written Ueciscisiou Delivered This Morning.— Appeal Taken.
The long looked for and anxiously expected decision in the Gardner Haines case was rendered Saturday by Mayor Duncan at the court house, in the presence of a large number of our people, who have taken great interest in the trial since its commencement. At 10 o'clock Mayor Duncan touched the gavel, called order and immediately commenced reading his decision, extracts from which we give below:
The affidavit in this case is for practic ing medicine without a license. I have carefully reviewed the testimony of the witnesses and I lind that they all agree in the statement that he treated them for some disease or injury, from the loss of a finger nail to cancer, or some other disease well known to the mind and body, and that for his professional services rendered in each particular case he charged and received fees from the persons so treated by him, therefore placing himself in the relation in all intents and purposes as patient and physician. The manner of his treatment was somewhat unique and varied as the case might be in thought and action. After talking to his patient aud learning the nature and cause of the disease or ailment instructing him or her, as the case might be to remain passive, throw off all care of business, or thought of pain or disease. He would then rub and sometimes fold his hands, close his ej es, aud sit in silent thought or prayer for twenty or thirty minutes, and would repeat this demonstration sometimes as of tea as twice a day, and this was his custom with all his patients.
Was this practicing medicine within the meaning of our Statutes a interpreted by the higher courts?
The case of the State vs. Buswell, Supreme Court of Nebraska, 58 N. W. 728, holds to this opinion."
In the Nebraska case to which we have already made reference, we have a case which in all its phases is similar to the one at bar, and in that case it is held that any one "demonstrating" over the human system, known as the Christian Science treatment for all kinds of diseases and pretending to heal and cure the same, is practicing medicine under the law, and the court in summing up in that case asserted that it confidently believed that the exercise of the art of healing for a compensation, whether exacted as a fee, or expected as a guaranty, cannot be clr sed as an act of worship, neither is it the performance of a religious duty. The money for treatment or service en dercd in this case was always received by the defendent, sometimes in advance.
The object of the statue is to protect the aificted from the pretentions of the ignorant and avaricious and its provisions are not limited to those who attempt to follow beaten paths and established usages. Still more stringently should its provisions be rendered effective against pretentions based upon ignorance on the one bund and credulity on the other.
In Benham vs. the State, Supreme Court of Indiana, 116 Ind. 112, is the one upon which the action is based.
In this case Benham, without having a license, professed to be able to cure the opium habit and held himself out as a doctor. The State did not care what methods he used in his treatment.
Now what are the facts in the case at bar, and in what do they differ? The de fendant issued a circular, "G-. Haines, Christian Science Healer, 1226 North Illinois street, Iudianapolis, Indiana Consultation free. Office hours 9 to 12 a. m. aud 3 to 8 p. m."
A
We conclude from the issuing and circulation of this card that he desired to, and did make the impression upon the public mind that he wasaph3rsician, who could and did cure diseases.
In concluding we are of the opinion that the evidence given in this cause interpreted by the light of the evidence giveu in the causes 116 Indiana 112, and 58 N. W. 728, fully sustains a conviction, and that the defendant is not included in any of the exceptions of the statute.
The religious doctrine and belief of the defendant has been lugged into the trial of this cause but I have not dwelt upon it neither do I care to, as it places the defendant under no disabilities nor entitles him to any liberties or indulgences not vouchsafed the citizens of the State generally, and do suit enter into the conclusions of law, or go to sustain any issue in the cause. The Constitution provides that we are all free and shall not be molested in our religious belief for conscience's sake.
I have arrived at the conclusions herein after a careful and diligent investigation of all the questions of law presented to me, satisfactory to my understanding of the law aud my conscience, and if it shall prove unsatisfactory to the defendant. I hope he will avail himself cf his right and privileges of appeal.
Therefore in view of my conclusions in the premises I will assess against the defendant a fine of ten dollars and costs, and it is the further judgment of the Court that he stand committed until the fine and costs are paid or replevied.
Immediately after the decision was rendered, Elmer J. Binford, attorney for the defendent, entered a motion for an appeal to the Circuit Court. The bond of the defendent was placed at $300. The case against Haines on the charge of tailing to report a death return, by agreement among counsel, was withdrawn until after the above ease was finally decided by the higher Courts.
