THE FISK MURDER.
The Trial Of stokes.

NEW York, July 2.-The Stokes trial
today was attended by o large crowd, a
It was expected that Josie Mansheld
would be put on the stand.
DR.. John P. White, surgeon, testified tc
being present and participating in the
probing OF Flsk's wounds; was also present
at the post mortern examination; witness
believed the cause Of Fisk's death was the
shock TO his physieal and mental system
and In such q case as Fisk's he (WhiteI
would not have used chloroEorm.
DR.. White, on cross examination, testi.
fled that Fisk at 0 T. N. talked nationally
and loosely, saying that his pains were
like the green apple bellyache. At four
o'clock the next morning his eyes were
contracted from opium, ten drops oil
which were given him the evening pre-.
vious. At 8 O'clock the next morning Flax
was unconcious and virtually dying.
Witness did not think the break or incisi.
on IN the smaller intestine necessarily
fatal; he thought the correct treatment Of
patients wounded like Fisk was milk
punch, and beef tea; there was 10 probing
OF Fisk's wound 10 his presence, which
would have effected a duration Of Fisk's
life, .,5 ~ n r
DR.. Louis A. sayre, the next witness,
testified that he found Fisk at 0 o'clock
In bed in great pallor which satisfied wit.
ness that Fisk would die from the great
shock; 1t was paralysis Of the whole sur
face Of the body; was satisfied he could
never recover; Fisk never rallied from
the injury by the wound; the wound was
fatal from the beginning which was his
reason for giving opium. To the question
could an amount Of opium, more or less,
have had any effect on the final result,
witness answered, "0h, no, he would have
died any how" N} s9IsE
Geo. II. Smith, Secretary Of Narragan.
sette Trotting Association, who was about
to leave the city, was allowed to testify
on behalf of defence, but the evidence
proved tn have no bearing on the case.
The medical testimony was then resum.
ed. DR.. Steele testified that he was pres
ent when DR.. Wood was examining the
wounds. Col. Fisk rallied and seemed
to improve short timo alter that. The
cause Of death was o shock from a pistol
ball, without reference to the probing or
administration Of opiates.
DR.. Trepler, who was also present at
the examination, testified that two ounces
OF brandy in water was given to the dying
man. His death was the result OF the
shock, and was accelerated by peritonitis
nam the very beginning. His opinion
wasthat Fisk would die.
