MURDER TRIAL.
Trial Of Kate N. Cobb and Wesley w.
Bishop for Double Murder.
THIRD DAf7S PROCEEDINGS.

NORWICH, January .. The trial Of Mrs.
Cobb was resumed at o'clock, the cross-ex-
examination of DIR. Doremus continuing.
He read from several authorities as to the
effects of the habitual use of arsenic. The
only cases of arsenic eating laid down in the
books are said to be among the Styrians.
Prof Dorcmus pescribed in detail the pro-
cess by which he proved that there was no ar
senic in the chemicals he used. and during
the analy he said that arsenic enters into
various manufactured acticles and into some
goods. Arsenic is found III common salt, but
not in a dangerous quantity. \ great deal.
also, depended upon the combination in which
it Is found, as to its poisonous Characters
tics.
Prot. Rudolphe 4. Whitehouse, of the Uni
versity of Vermont, took the stand. He had
assisted Prof. Dorcmus in all but two of the
experiments upon tobb's body. They had
consulted together and consequently he en-
dorsed every step taken by Prof. Doremus.
He had not shadow of doubt but that Cobb
died of arsenic poisoning, and he fully be-
licvcd that Mrs. Hattie Bishop, in the analy-
sis of whose body he had also aided, died
from the same cause.

The alarm of fire a few minutes past twelve

false: and after searching for time for ndi-
cations of a confagration, the fire companies
housed their machines and retired homeward.
We did not learn the origin of the alarm.
Some supposed the ringing to be the ushering
in of the new year. and remained quietly in
bed TO await developments. The cry of fire
was made, however, some time before the bell
