DR.. Hammond, after careful and
borough Investigation OF the pa,holog"
cal changes in the case OF EntmistIe,
the compositor who was bitten by dog
two weeks ago and died esterday, says
70 pecuiarilies could be found nor were
there any changes that would not be
observed after death FROM delerium
tremeps, except the thicBenire oil the
blood vessels, which had probably been
going on wears The cause Of EntmstIes
death had been hard drinking. The
patient had the fear o. hydrophobis be-
lore him, induced, perhaps, by the bite
OF dog. The fear OF water had

AceuiitaI OfGiH.
In the case OF Martain Gill, tried for
the murder OF Mortimer Sullivan two
weeks ago, the jury after being out all
night were unable TO agree and were
d scbarged. Gill then plead guilty to
murder in the second degree aud was
sentenced to the State prison for life
with hard labor.
Recorder Hsckett, in accepting the
plea OF the prisoner said: Under the
laws of this State it was made neces-
sary to prove dehteralion and pre-
meditation before q verdict OF murder
could be reached. In this case, accord
ing to my mind, this has been done,
and yet there was no verdict. 1t is
conclusive 10 me that under the present
laws hanging for murder is played
out, to use slang term, and it will
be useless hereafter to look for verdicts
OF murder 10 the fret degree"
