A vigorous attack on expert medical tes- timony, sévers criticlsm of the methods purstied by the prosecution in gathering evidende and a general denial of every charge made Dy the state against Dr. B. C. Hyde marked the opening statement of ¥rank P. Walsh, chief counsei for the de- feuse today. Referring to the state’s chemists as “hired men," the attorney repeatedly wartied the jury that it was lkely to be trieked by the testimony of the medical ex- perts. The ehemists who will testity are Dr. Ludwig Hektoen and Walter S. Haines, both of Chicago, and Dr. Vietor C. Vaughan of Ann Arbor, Mich. Mr. Walsh covertly charged that the re- ports of the chemists were altered at times to sult the convenience of their employers.
