TWENTY THIRD DAY OF THE WHARTON TRIAL.
ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 4.-Dr. Warren testified that
tartar emetic is one OF the most powerful agcnts
Sometimes il does not act but at other times il
is immediate. With poisonous dose of tartar
emctic IN his stomach, Gen. Ketclum could not
have smoked cigar chatted with friends zone
up stairs, undressed himself and gone to bed
Such delicacy of action of tartar emetic was I'M
precedened in his knowledge, There was no
relaxation of the muscles no SynCope and other
symptoms attending poison by tartar emetic.
Monday he was seen by his physician holding a
slop bucket in his hands and ON his
knees, which would not have beer likely had
he been poisoned by tartar emetic; he coui nor
hold bucket had tie muscles been relaxed by
poison. Again, the medicine administered nv
his physician, -creosote and lime water,
not have arrested the effects of tartar emetic
It's not an antidote of that poison. Had In. tar
emetic been taken, its absorption would have
been going on and would have continued; the
creosote and lime water acled only locally on
the stomach, and yet KeIchum was relieved Inv
it, which could not have been if poisoned by
tartar enetic.
Therefore, he concluded that Ketchum was not
poisoned Monday or Tuesday. Although NOR
bidly impressed, none of the characteristic svmD-
toms Of poison by tartar emehc manifested
themselves; he was conscious; there was no
vomiting or pnrgiug; no profound relaxation
OF muscles rs he walked from his bed across the
room; none OF the symptoms produced ON the
nervous system; no increased secretion of urine:
had he been poisoned by tartar cmetlc, there
would have been a hypersecretion of urine: all
these characteristic symptoms of poison by an
timony were wanting Tuesday; and, therefore,
be concludes that he was not poisoned; on
Wednesday, tn day of his DEATH lhe symptoms
OF cerebro-spinal meningitis were present, and
not those of tartar emetic poison differen-
