ZDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1948 \ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE : dge Rejects ®lood Test For runk Evidence \ fontreal (CP).--Medico-legal ex- 'ts consider the blood test a bet- means of determining drunken- | s than walking a straight line, "; a Quebec judge does not agree. Ar. Justice Wilfred Lazure, hear- © a manslaughter charge "arising I'm a traffic death, rejected | dence by a physician who made blood test on the accused for ~ inkenness. | fe found the doctor used alcohol * swab the motorist's skin before |» blood sample was drawn. He | 1cluded that some of this alcohol ight have contaminated the | nple, giving the man a higher inkenness rating than justified. rhe accused finally was found Lilty of a reduced charge of reck- Ls driving, but the judge's decision cussed interest on the test. I 3uch examinations are legal in| 'ebec if permission of the subject | is been obtained. Legal experts | fpder, however, whether such | Sission would be considered | in court if the subject changed | mind or he sobered up. ! i'n Quebec the statutes. give no | ide to the doctor. Whether a hin is considered drunk depends | the interpretation of the doctor | wking the test and he must be pert in such examinations. The blood test is the only one ad in Quebec, although the reath-ometer" test is sometimes | »d elsewhere. In this, the per- 1 charged with drunkenness »ws into a tube of chemicals and | pir reaction registers the amount | alcohol in his body. Dr. Jean-Marie Roussel, Quebec | ovince medico-legal expert, is a | pporter bf the blood test. | "The blood test in itself is the surest and most equitable means to determine whether a person is un- |der the influence of alcohol at the time the sample is taken," said Dr. Roussel. "It is superior to any physical examination in most cases because outward signs of intoxica- tion might be caused by other pathological conditions and could be misleading." But, said Dr. Roussel, the instru- ments used in making the test should not be sterilized in alcohol or ether, which also gives an alcohol reaction. Only soap and water should be used for cleansing the skin where the needle is inserted to draw the sample, TELEPHONES BUSY Toronto, Nov. 9--(CP) -- Tele- phone lines were swamped Monday night as Toronto's first. city-wide blackout since the practice periods of wartime went into effect.
