| ANSAPOLIs, January 4.-The conclusion
OF DR.. Narren's testimony is as follows:
Direct evidence shows that on Wednesday,
the day of General Ketchum's death,
symptoms of cerebro-spinal mening gifts were
present and not those of tartar emetic poi
son, and thinks the different diagnosis of
these diseases proves this. The increased
sensitiveness of the skin on that day was q
characteristic OF meningitis, and not tartar
emet1c poison, indeed if sensftveness is q
characteristic of the latter. There was a
secretion of urine, which was invariably
characteristic of poison by tartar emetc;
| but there was a suppression which was
| Characteristic OF cerebrO-spinal meningitis.
! This proves to witness that Ketchum died
of this disease. This conclusion was from
the symptoms alone. The post mortem
went to show that death didInOt result from
poison by antimony, which. had it been
present, would have been developed by IL
| Htatlon OF the mucous membrane.
