The police reported thirty seven sun
strokes yesterday-several fatal. Thermo-
meter at eight this morning, 900.
Among the witnesses in the Stokes trial
DR.. Louis A. Sayer testified that he found
Fisk at nine o'clock in bed with great palOr,
which satisfied the witness that Fisk would
die From the great shock which paralyzed
the whole surface of his body, he was salts
fed that he could not recover and advised
sending for physicians, and that Fisk make
his will. Fisk never rallied from the injury
from the wound to the sympathetic nerves
The wound was mortal 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, the witness answered "Oh
no. wounded as he was he would have died
anyhow"
After recess DR.. Theophilus Steele was
sworn. He attended Fisk after the shoot
ing; ridieuled the report that he died in
consequence of the treatment of physicians;
felt sure when he first saw the patient that
he would die: declared that the cause of
death was the shock from the pistol ball
wounds.
DR.. Thomas H. Tripler who was the first
physician called, and was present five
minutes after the shots were fired, cOrro-
borates the above testimony. Both wit
nesses were crOss-eXamined, but nothing
material was elected.
