The Meaker Murder.


EVIDENCE PRODUCED on THE EXAMINATION
PROOF Of STRYCnNINE POISONING.
Prof. WiithauS of the University of Yer
mont testified that having separated the
stomach of Alice Meaker from the contents
and treated each separately. he applied the
frog and the color tests. Having introduced
small quantity Of the rcsiduum of the girls
stomach into the body Of a frog the animal
was placed upon table. In short time a
rap upon the table caused Il slight tctanic
spasm in the frog, and soon after another
rap 0ccasiOncd intense contraction Of the
muscles of the animals legs. These spasms
are the direct result of the presence of
strychninr. The application of certain
chemicals 10 the residuum of the stomach, if
strychninc We're present, would produce
violet color Judged by these two tests the
presence of strychnne in the stomach of the
murdered girl was concusively proven the
quantity the Professor could not tell.
