A Dry Brain.

The autopsy on the body of Robert
Hart, the one-legged notion dealer, who
died on the evening of the Fourth, after
being struck by Thomas Fogarty, Pa
cific street saloon-keeper, brought to
light a most interesting and, for some
time, puzzling study in anatomy. The
post mOrtem was conducted by Drs.
Levingston, Dennis and Blach. Every
organ, including heart, lungs, liver,
etc, was found to be perfectly normal
and healthy, and the most minute in
spection of the spinal cord and other
vital parts failed to reveal any cause of
death The absence of any wound or
abrasion puzzled the physicians, and it
was not until the brain was reached
that the mystery was solved. When
the seat of knowledge was reached it
was discovered that there was not a
particle of blood about the brain and
that it had been literally paralyzed by
the desertion of the fluids. The fatality
is technically known as anRmia, or pri-
vation of blood in the capillary vessels.
The brain, DIR. LeYingston explained to
a Chronicle reporter, is nourished by the
corpuscles of the blood. A rush or de-
sertion of blood from the head conse-
quently leaves insufficient nutrition
for the brain to carry on its functions,
and paralysis of the heart occurs. This
will cause death in from three and q
half to five minutes. Painting fits are
form of an@mia, but seldom Of sufii-
cient severity to result fatally. In Hart's 8
case, the disease, if such it can be term
ed, was not due to force or violence, but
to either emotion or the shock of Fogar-
tvs sudden attack. Fright may have
produced it, but from the prowess at
tributed to the deceased by his friends it
is more likely that the emotion was one
of rage. Although possessing but one
leg, Hart was powerfully built, and at
a game of fisticuffs was a match for any
two ordinary men along the water
front. provided that he could secure a
prop for his back in order that he might
not be toppled from his single under
standing. He scarcely knew what fear
was, so self-reliant was he, so that the
responsibility of his demise rests with
the shock or with his violent exhibition
of impotent rage at being literally
ssknocked OUT by the suddenness of
Fogarty's blow.-SGn Francisco CItro7s.

GALLATIN, MO, Sept. @.
Mr.. w. Fl. Wallace. Prosecuting Attorney
for jackson County, commenced his closing
argument on behalf Of the State in the case
against Frank James at a few minutes after
nine this morning His speech was a most ex-
haustive one and was the great feature of the
trial, good judges declaring they never heard
it surpassed for vigor, evenness. power and
eloquence. AT its close Judge Goodman
charged the jury who then retired in charge
Of the baiIifs
Shortly before four o'clock the baiirs in
charge of the jury were notified that they
were ready to submit n verdict, and when
court reopened at four o clock Judge Good
man was surprised bv the information The
defendant was brought into court with his
face pale and impasslve as the day the trial
began. He was attended by his wife, whose
face wore an expression of suffering that
made it painful to look upon. The hall was
not at al crowded. as few bad expected a
| their seats, all of them keeping their faces
fixed on the court. Judge Goodman put the
called and the verdict was submitted the
Judge read aloud: eve, the jury, find the
defendant not guilty, as charged in the in
dictmcnt."
Loud applause followed and some OF the au-
dience throw up their hats, while great confu-
looking at the Court without even change of
color or a tremor of hand. just as he had looked
at the speakers and witnesses all through the
case His wifes face, however, was changed
in second from an expression Of terror to
one of radiant Joy. Counsel for the defense
smiled and wore the plumcs of victory well:
The States attorney, Mr.. Hamilton, and
Judge Hicklin looked gloomy and spoke not.
The jury was then discharged and they
quietly left the courtroom. When some
| degree of order had been restored
and one man had been brought be-
fore the Court and given chance to beg of
for throwing up his hat, and when the gay
assemblage of ladies had moderated their
jubilant buzz to a reasonable degree, the Court
suggested that there were two more eases on
the docket. The Westfall case and the one
wherein the robbery of the Winston train IL
charged without any killing. They Will bo
tried at the October term.
The court then adjourned and the prisoner
was taken back to Jail in seemingly the same
state of mind when he left 1t.

Judge Shanklin occupied the morning on
behalf of the prosecution, demonstrating
from the evidence the probability of Frank
James being connected with the Winston
robbery. He claimed there was proof positive
of the defendants participation in the rob
berry and murder. AS for the alibt, he dis
missed that in very brief temrs as being based
entirely on the testimony of interested wit
nesses
Mr. johnson in his speech in the afternoon
followed a line of argument like this: That
the case was either one of murder in the first
degree or nothing, and it did not contain any
fendant had all along been trying to form
new associations for himself, chiefly aided by
the persuasions of his wife; that he had
worked hard in Tennessee, then broken

tiate q surrender; that Lidden testified
against the accused from motives OF personal
safety; that there were but four men at the
not one of those four; that the mere proximi-
tY of Frank James to the scene of the robbery
as detailed by the States witnesses did not
prove actual participation in the crime; that
Liddell was to be believed when he told Gov
ernor Crittenden how Frank had demonstrated

ness stand how Frank had remarked that he
believed he had shot one man, as he had seen
him drop; that the State had no case If Lid
