On examining the lungs the right lobe was found TO
be infamed and injured, precisely as in the case OF
rocr French. The ntestines also contained liquid
precisely similar in its appearance TO that found IN
Frenchs body, by Dr. David L. Rogers, after death
This will be analysed by DIR. Chiffon.
Mr.. Sherwood on New Years day, and took
wine at the house Of friend. He is now cold and
decayng corse adding another the long list OF VIC
Tins that have fallen under the brutal treatment Of these
Thomsonian vagabonds.
He has been some time under their hands, and has
been steamed every three days. A crowd ofwo-
men were gathered round The house heaping impreca
lions the heads of the Thonsonians He has left
young and beautiful widow whe is inconseabe for his
loss
The following is all the testimony that we can find
for this morning; we shall give the balance IN
this evenings paper.
Mrs Sarah Sherwood examined.-Is the mother
Of deceased, Albert G.. Sherwood; deceased has
been sick about twenty days. Doctor Sweet has at
tended him since he has been Sick until Doctor
Davis was called, except some counselhDg physicians
whom Dr. Sweet brought with him DR.. DAVIS was
called two days previous 10 his death, at which time
DR.. Sweet said his wife that he could do nothing
for him that would do him any good; thinks the first
medicine the Doctor gave him was an emetlc has
gwen him at fereht times other medicines, bat
she did not know what they were ne steamed him
J,,r,v III hod pIa II a
chair and stripping him Naked and putting steamer
under the chair the sieaming took place on two
successive days; the first ume he could hardly keep
on the chair long enough he was deranged; thinks
he kept him on the char five or ten minutes, or, II
might have been a quarter of an hour thinks the
second time he kept HIM quarter Of an hour; al
ways gave him nJecnons every day and sometimes
twice day gave an I'M 1ction the last day he was
there deceased was very weak could not raise his
head from the pillow; so years old and born in
Yonkers; don't think her son an extraordinary
hearty man.
Dr. Charles Sweet examined.-Is Thompsonian
doctor was called TO deceased two weeks since;
csmp aimed of pam in his head and had fever,
complained of sickness at the stomach his stomach
was very sour. / gave HIM an injection Of lobelia,
bitter root, baybery bark Of the root end II caused
him TO yomt il gave him relief Left and called again
next day gave him tea composed OF sumach
leaves Cayenne pepper, baberry and American vale
risn. Ordered half tea-cup full every two hours !;
thinks he only gave emeucs during the time Of his
sickness gave injections every day, and some days
two he also ordered poultlces OF Indian meal 10 his
feet and back Of his neck and hot bricks TO his feet
his head wet with cold vinegar. Gave physlc OF
mandrake root and il operated also gave him bitter
in small Doses 10 keep his bowels as near Tegu-
lar as he could Ordered him washed with spirits or
vinegar. and sometimes pearlash wash; frequently
steamed him; twice in the manner stated by Mis-.
Sherwood. After or seven days commenced CIV
ing hum crowsg and white root equal parts once an
hour about the 10Th llth day gave him tea COM
posed of Virginia snake root, American valerian. and
white root
John c. MCluskey examined.-Is a brother in
law Of deceased was with him good deal while he
sick; don't think hc what might be called
healthy man has never been well since he was sick
two months ago.
Dr. Alfred G. Post examined. in the post
morem examination; the notes read by DIR. Gilman
were dictated by MYSELF the appearances of the old
disease not sufficient TO cause his death; thinks
there disease enough IN the lungs, OF recent orr
GIN TO his death, and also in Ike BRAIN; don't
think he has ever met with so much contraction In
his life; thinks emetics every day for ten or fifteen
DAYS would have the effect of contraction; don't pre-
tend to say that il induced by medicine or what
ever cause; thinks from the appearance OF the body
emeucs would have been very lnJurlous would think
when the lungs were congesed high state of steam
would be very injurious on the brain; also read the
testimony OF DIR. Sweet, and thinks some OF The treat
ment would increase the disease.
The Jury after several hours elaboration, brought
in a verdict Of" That no to his death by CON-
picaton Of diseases not understood by his attending
physician, DIR. Sweet, and consequently NOT treated
in proper manner, but, in many similar cases
aggrardted thereby!
We have no time for comment on THIS lameniable
case; tbs verdict of the Jury brings Sweet within the
pale of the law; and the Coroner must issue his war
rant, and arrest him forthwith, that he may be tried
by Jury OF his counirymen for the crime he is
charged with, viz. Msnslaugh,er in the Fourth
degree
