centuries knew as little about the chemistry
OF poisons as Of other substances, and that
thecstorles about them are TO be ranked with
the stories Of ghosts, witches and sorcerv.
There were poisoners; and they had plenty Of
victims and d ngls Z only by reason of the
gross Ignorance and superstition of the peot

not deteeteds All lie little chemical skin Of

CONCLUSION OF JoHNsoS's ExaMISArIon
No further evidence of Interest was ELECTED On
me nrst day Of the examination. On the second
dey (Fhursday) the prisoner presented much The
same appearance as on the day before He wore
a heavy black overcoat and his neck was en-
veloPed In pale blue scarf or comforter He
seemed to be, however, little more anxious and
care-worn than yesterday, and passed much Of
the time before the opening of the court in con-
vesing with his counsel. As the evidence pro-
cseded, however, he manifested considerable
mental anxiety. His brow was contracted, and
ne frequently changed his position. On We'd
nesday ana early Yesterday morning, Johnson
exhibited great Goodness file declared his inno-
cence Of the charges preferred against him.
How, ne ASKED the Deputy Sheriff, show can
they convict an innocent man - He professed to
have no doubt as to his acquttal, and declares
the witnesses were all fools.
The prisoner was committed for trial, which
Will probably take place next week
The CASE OF THE SPRAY,
Without the elicitation of any further evidence
OF Interest In this case in addition to the report
given yesterday, the further examination was
postponed until Friday, (today) to secure as wit
nesses the captain and crew of the sloop Gem,
which sailed In company with the Spray to Nor
walk on her last voyage.

A PICTURE OF BUROH.-The folllwing
pictureo Burch, the Chicago banker, is drawn
by the special correspondent Of the AGas and
ATgaIS, now at Naperyills: ss - .-.-
"Mr. Burch appears in court day after day,
and prompts his counsel and takes notes in a
very calm, systematic manner. Indeed Mr.
Burch appsars to be constitutionally calm
and systematic gentleman. His appearance
cannot be called prepossessing, / think, by
the most interested of his friends. He has
smooth face-a sleek look-light brown hair,
Light eyes "a thin, tight mouth, andalong
nose. His manner is very impassive, and it is
evident that religion, Of which he Is a prom
inent professor, has enabled him to steel his
heart againstthe weakness of his sinful world,
sndt bear suffering with ealmness thatleaves
the pulse cold and the digestion undisturb-
ed. Ofcourse Mr.. Bureh is a gentleman of ex-
cellent character, and a very shrewd and sue
cessful banker; but the churchman predomin-
