EXPERIMENTATION.
On the Friday evening before Mr. Kline's death,
about the time was going to bed, Joe went out
into the kitchen and followed him; had GOV.
cred the fire with ashes to keep over night; and
| looking into the stove saw a piece OF paper
which l picked up and looked at and threw
back; 'Tonner & Co.'S Drag Store was printed on
the paper which thought was LABEL there
were two figure s on 1t,
DIRE. L. WALKER
Was called to see Mr. Simon Kline as his physl
clan on the evening Of the 9th OF last Decembar,
Found Mr. Kline lying In bed; he was complain.
ing fpain in the head; examined the circula.
ton OF the pulse and found that |! was beating
about 80 to the minute the tongue was moist and
slightly coated thought he had taken cold and
that the seCretiols had been generally arrested;
prescribed digitalis to facilitate the secretlons
OF the kidneys; the suppression Of urine ia very
dangerous symptom; from 1t we fear uranic poi
son; there had been suppression Of urine for 12
hours; continued to treat him thus to guard
against uranic poison. l saw Mr. Kline again on
Ihursday morning. found him much better. |
changed the treatment and taking what medi.
cine was left with me, discharged the case and
discontinued my visits. He seemed so improved
thought further treatment unnecessary saw
Mr. Kline again on Saturday, Dec. llth about 5
o'clock In the evening" he was in a profound stu.
por, breathing stertorously, and very pallid; his
eyes were closed but l opened them and found
the pupils contracted, the circulation Of the
pulse was weak and irregular and he was per.
spring very freely cold sweat; he was uncon.
SclouSi threw cold water on his face to arouse
him but to no effect l endeavored to get him to
swallow water, to no avail propped his head
up and shook him, but all my efforts were use.
less remained until the death Of the patient.
CORONER DIR. GEORGE b. COCK.
The stomach was removed by me at the post
mortem examination; tied at both ends previous
to It's removal, and put into perfectly clean lar
obtained at the house Of the deceased. 1 carried
1t TO Cleveland and gave 1t to Professor W Nor.
ley. On the 9Th day OF January 1881, delivered
to Mrs Morley the wife Of the Professor, at Hud
son, Ohio the liver and kidneys OF the deceased
obtained them from the body OF Simon Kline
at the cemetery east OF the city, went there
with Lewis Rigler, and with the assistance Of the
sexton and another man we exhumed the body.
opened the coffin and the body and removed
liver and kidneys. placed the kidneys and
liver In small wooden box at the cemetery. At
ter going to my Office placed the liver and kid.
neys into q tight tin can which was clean, I
closed and sealed the can. In that condition 1
placed 1t In the laboratory OF Professor Morley at
Hudson, Ohio.
PROF. r. W, MORLEY.
Am Professor Of Chemistry In Western Reserve
College at Hudson and Professor Of Chemistry
and Topsocology at the Cleveland Medical Col.
lege; have had considerable experience In poi.
sontng matters; DR. George Cock gave me a can
containing human stomach at nay laboratory at
Cleveland; my wife gave me a sealed can on the
4:h day Of January last; took the can to my lab
oratory, opened II and found in 1t human liver
and kidneys; they were In good condition and
frozen. On the Monday following, Jan. 10th, 1
made chemical analysis Of one. half Of each OF
the kidneys and one.half Of the liver for poison,
looking especially for arsenic did this by the
FisCenius and BabO method, one Of the best
methods praetlced. There is no possibility OF ar.
senic escaping notice by this method. l obtained
about one eightieth part Of grBln Of sulphste Of
arsenic; then reduced this arsenic into the
white powdered form OF arsenic commonly sold,
Of which obtained about one hundHedth Of a
grain Am familiar with the process Of detecting

into the human body 1t is seldom detected; II it
remain in the body unchanged It may possibly
be found. 1t however is generally 30 changed
by absorption In the body that it Is rarely detect
ed. In the stomach found about an ounce of
broWnish fluid; the inside coat OF the stomach
had patch OF unnatural red color near the in.
let. On the side Of this red patch toward the cen.
ter Of the stomach, was a green patch; the red
patch. think, would be produced by arsenic; ar.
senic is an irritant poison and produces faint
ness and sense Of depression, followed by pain
and sickness at the stomach, vomiting. Redness
Of the stomach In poAt mortem examinations is
considered generally, evidence OF the presence OF
arsenic. The arsenic which remains in the liver
and kidneys represents only portion Of that in
troduced into the system. Am familiar with the
effects Of morphine taken into the body; NOR
phine Is narcotic poison, that is poison that
produces sleep or Ptupor. One grain may be ia.

effects Of three grains OF first you can raise the

can't raise him ct all: the breathing becomes &C
CELEBRATED and stertorOus the pulse becomes low
and weak; the pupils Of the eyes are contracted
and insensIble to light; bodily temperature is
lowered and the action Of the heart becomes
less vigorous until the patient dies.
