In connection with the examination OF this wit
ness some discussion arose as to what sort OF evi

whether the learned counsel might 40 back beyond
the 30tn OF April for evidence bearing the case.
The Judge observed that there was but one issue
for the jury to determine. They would not have to
determine any question arising before the 30th OF
April, but merely the question whether the lady was

from cataepsy; and he mlnutey described the
symptoms which led him TO that conclusion.

Another deluston was that she had been poisoned
He had been told Of that delusion also by Mrs
Forbes ana Lady Mordaunt, on his questioning hei
about It said, ''Oh, yes that Is quite true; was
poisoned with laudanum." Another deluslon she
had WAS that her husband would shortly return. He
was aware that the first two delus0ns still remained

For 81 years, with but a slight interruption,
he has been the minister of relief to widely
extended circle Of families both in this and
adjoining towns, where his marked skull and
success in the practice Of the healing art not
unfrequently called him. DIR. Keeney was
ardently devoted to his profession, and in its
pursuit brought to his aid mature experience
and Judgment rarely at fault. His demise
has LEFT a void that viii not be readily filed,
and which has brought sorrow and mourning
to many hearts.
DR.. Keeney was q resident Of Perry, Wy
oming county, New York, and was the father
Of Hon. Geo. D. Keeney, District Judge Of
