A. Yes. This is the X-ray which included the lower two-thirds of the thigh bone, the femur, and the knee joint, and—
Mr. Hardy: I offer this X-ray as Prosecution Exhibit 215.
Q. Doctor, this X-ray you are referring to now is Document NO-1092?
A. This is Document NO-1091. The arrow points to the osteoporotic atrophy of the tibia. Document NO-1092 is the X-ray of the leg. It shows the fibula which is the smaller of the two larger bones of the leg, about in the middle between the area just mentioned under the bracket called “B”. On the side, looking toward the tibia is the osteoperiostitis of the periosteum. This group of marks is particularly severe in the smaller area which I have marked with the bracket “A”, which indicates a smaller area of the shaft of the tibia within the larger area of the disturbance marked as “B”. This alteration is indicative and consists of an ordinary inactive Coxa, which in view of the osteoperiostitis of the periosteum was probably an osteomyelitis process. However, there is no active osteomyelitis at the present examination of the right foot. In pictures 1093 and 1094, it shows arthritic changes of the cuniform navicula joints with narrowing of the joint spaces and increased marginal sclerosis. This has been marked in the X-ray with an arrow pointing to the joint. The other prints are the same. The prints have come out too dark, but it shows the condition clearly in the film.
This arthritis is due to the immobilization of the right foot. Secondary to the muscles and especially the paralysis of the perineal nerve. It is evidently arthritis of an immobilization nature which one sees also by inspection of the patient’s foot.
Q. Doctor, can you determine from your examination——
A. (Interposing) 1094—have I mentioned it?—shows the same as 1093 in a slightly different exposure. The marks are the same pointing to the most marked arthritis between the cuniform navicular joints.
Q. Doctor, in your opinion, from your examination of this patient can you determine what was the purpose of the experiment?
A. It appears that in this experiment a highly infectious agent was implanted, probably without the addition of a bacteria static agent such as sulfanilamide, and for that reason the infection got out of hand and became very extensive.
