appearance, it is disguised by solution of
sesquioxide or sub-carbonate of iron which
changes the color. The effect of an eXces-
sive use of this gas, it is declared by med-
cal men, cannot, in time, do otherwise than
produce temporary. and in some cases, per-
manent insanity. The prisoner admitted
that he had been in the habit of using it
for more than a year, and aside from this
had been using gunpowder, for disease of
the kidneys. Some time ago, West had an
office in Baltimore where he manufactured
and used this gas. He subsequently sold
the right to manufacture to q man named
Walton r. Way, on Baltimore street. near
Broadway. West further states that this
man, by use of this gas, is now an inmate
of an insane asylum, hopelessly insane
Another instance of its fearful effects is at
Newtown, Pa, where it has produced vio-
lent hemorrhages on lady, and that now
her life is despaired Of, and with peculiar
and significant expression, he said, and

on Monday, previous to committing the
foul deed, he had two gallons of gas left,
and not wanting to waste it, Inhaled the
