Black, a state-retained Lansing pathologist, who testified that Mrs. Pecho could not possibly have held the weapon, a 20-gauge shotgun, against her chest and been able to reach the trigger. Reporter Robinson also discovered that some evidence strongly implying Pecho's innocence had not even been introduced at the trial...
Robinson took his suspicions to another pathologist, Dr. Richard E. Olsen, who, at the request of Pecho's attorney, had been studying the case for weeks.

He doubted, he said, that heavy cigarette smoking or "personal air pollution" plays a "primary role" in causing lung cancer, but he granted that it may be guilty as a fellow criminal. The researchers still differed in their theories of sequence: Dr. Eastcott thought British...
Died. Dr. Leo Loeb, 90, German-born, Swiss-educated pathologist, whose pioneer researches (into the importance of heredity and sex hormones) led Harvard's great Physiologist Walter B. Cannon to remark: "It is impossible to view cancer research from any angle without finding it enriched by Dr. Loeb"; in St. Louis...
