THE TESTIMONY OF CHEMICAL ExpERTs.--A
correspondent of the New York Evening Post,
referring to the otten-remarked conflict OF
testimony between scientific men i'll Judicial
investigations, and the noted instance OF such
conflict lately presented in the Wharton trial,
nentionS striking example OF an uneN-
pected source of error in scientific investiga-
tons witnessed in a case tried in the Superior
Court in New York relative to trademark
Oh mustard. The case is Us follows:
Professor Doremus, one of the most cele-
br1ted analytical chemists of New York, al
legged that mustard contained over eleven per
cent. of starch. Professor Chandler, of Co.
lumbia College, alleged that mustard con-
tanned no starch. Professor Doremus ap-
piled to be allowed to vindicate, by actual
experiment in open court, the correctness OF
his statement. The motion was granted and
on the 9th December Last the courtroom
presented the appearance Of chemical labora-
tory. The Professor, with his assistant, pre-
pared mustard for experiment in open court
bv pounding the seed il mortar. lie placed
the crushed seed in distilled water and boiled
the mixture over a spirit lamp. He then
threw some Of the solution on sheets of filter
ing paper, applied bis chemical test, and ex-
hihited to the court on the paper the charac-
teristic blue iodide Of starch. The expert
ment was varied in many ways with the
same result, and at the end Of the testimony
many sheets Of paper were thus colored.
The demonstration seemed perfect. On Pro
fessor Chandler being called to the stand, he
made experiments which in his view demon
strated that starch did not exist in mustard,
and stated that he was not satisfied with the
experiments that had been made by the de-
PENDANTS witness.
"Why," said the defendants counsel,
care you not satisfied with the reaction for
starch exhibited by DR.. Doremus on the
dozen or more sheets of tiltering paper"
Il am not certain to begin with" said
Professor Chandler, ''that the paper would
not have produced that reaction without the
mustard' Whereupon the counsel handed
to the witness some Of the clean paper and
asked him to apply to it the test himself. He
did so, and the result was a deep blue; thus
showing the illusory nature OF the prior
tests, and that the experiment was entirely
worthless as proof that starch was contained
in mustard.
The correspondent remarks that the thing
sought for was not in the substance analysed,
but in the paper on which for convenience 1t
had been poured.

TWO men, representing themselves as sherifs
OF Louisiana, on the pretence of warrant
having been issued for the prisoner by the

no one appearing to take Freeman into
custody, General Harding, under whom he
served during the war, procured a writ of

Freeman had really been Kidnapped,
drugged, shackled, and brought here by the
alleged sherifs withoutauthority of law, and,
as he thinks, through the agency of several
of QuantrelEs old gang who are in Louisiana,
and were afraid of him. His record is rather
rough, but nothing appears against him since
