THE MAN VINO POISONED A FAMILY.
Asserting the Prisoners Innocence amer bic
Confession Of the Deed.


EAsToN, Aug 2S.-The morning session
Of the Laros trial was almost entirely taken up
with discussion between Prosecuting Attor-
ney Merrill and Mr. II. W. Scott, as to whether.
under the state laws, the jury could Ind ver-
dict Of murder In the second degree 10 this case
Mr.. Merrill began the argument, which was not
directed to the jury, but to thei Court. and a
great mass Of decisions, presidents, and au-
thorites was presented. Mr.. Scott reviewed
the testimony, In so far as II seemed to cast
doubt upon the death OF Martin Llros
having been caused by arsenlcal poison-
ing. Arsenic. he argued, was preventative
and had been found In the etomachs OF persons
killed by 1t, as long as fourteen years after
death. Hence, had Martin Laros been so oois-
oncd a greater certainty Of the presence OF the
fatal drug must have been attained. This cof-
fee pot, he said. had been left unguarded 10 an
exposed place after the Laros family we're taken
sick and 10 that time II was that. either by de-
sign or accident, the poison was added to Its
contents by some person other than
the defendant. There was not enough
arsenic found In the stomach Of Martin Laros to
give reasonable strength to the superstition that
be died from II. The prosecution laid stress
upon the fact OF the intestines being perforated,
supposedly by arsenic but the authorities say
that arsenical poisoning does not have this ef-
feet, except In the rarest cases, and certainly
fact OF the matter was that Martin Laros's
