she was then in the second stage AZ fever-the
hot stage. Was informed by her mether that

Amery. DIR. Cleaver sent a hack for wit
Iess TO his house, TO 60 and see this little
girl: the gentleman who came told witness
she was dying, and asked witness 70 hasten
his visit Witness thought she was suffering
from Intermittent fever; she having had a
chill, was in the hot stage Of fever; the color
OF the skIn, and the tniasmatic region in which
she lived, and the new earth thrown mp
around, induced this belief. There was no ac
commodation there for q sick person. Advis-

no marks indicative OF great violence on her
person. She gave no answer Is 10 her condi-
ton. Tried TO quiet her. She was suffering
with headache from the fever. Tried her
lungs; they were sound, but q cough indicated
bronchitis. Tongue slightly furred in the
middle, and reddish tinge at the top, indica-
ting the tongue throwing OF the fur. There
were indIcatiens Of jaundice. Jaundice is onIy
mbol ef the arrangement Of internal or
gans. Various fevsrs, fear, an xiety, and loss
OF blood may produce Jaundice. The cause
OF death IN this case might have been the hem

Cannot cay what was the cause Of death
Don't think the condition DIR. Mckim found
the chIld in peculiar to diseases of children,
but might have been caused by purpura. It
is not more incident to women than man. IL
arises from the depraved condition ofthe blood
Don't think any danger Of death resulting from
connection OF an ordinary developed man with
that girl-that is by natural coition-by COM
mon consent Believe from all the evidence
that hemorrhage was the exciting cause OF the
disease that produced death.
