THE WHARTON TRIAL.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. S.-The trial of Mrs.
Wharton was resumed this morning.
DR.. Williams on the stand, testified that in
all bis visits he saw no indications of fatal
dose Of laudanum. Any dose of tartar
emetic beyond five or six grains would be
dangerous where person was not in the
habit of taking it. In Ketchum's case
there were no indications Of an overdose of
the jessamine prescribed by the witness.
He was greatly surprised when Mrs. Whar-
ton told him the patient became
worse after taking second
dose of the jessamine, particularly
after the soothing effect of the first. II the
General had taken the contents of the bot
tie in the hand of the witness on Thursday
he would have been dead or hOpelessly i'll
by three O'Clock next day. The symptoms
before death, and the developments after,
was consistent with the theory of poison by
tartaremctic. In his opinion eighty drops of
yellow jessamine would not produce death.
The direct examination here ended and
cross examination commenced.

pure, noble, devoted women with all classes
of society, and that the establishment of a
deaconate, under proper restrictions, would
tend to greater modesty aud discretion in
works of charity.
