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 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 OF
abrasion puzzled the physicians, and il
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
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 anamia, or pri
vation Of blood in the capillary vessels.
The brain, DR.. Levingston explained to
Chronicle reporter, is nourished by the
corpuscles of the blood. A rush or de-
SCItlOn Vi DlOOQ lIOlu biiO iiNeeN NChoS
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 a
half to five minutes. Painting fits are
a form of anemia, but seldom of suffi-
cient severity to result fatally. In Hart's
case, the disease, if such it can be term
ed, was not due to force or violence, but
to either emotion OF 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
game Of fisticuffs was 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

THE DEFENSE.

0AhLAIlN, NOss mug. ~.
few minutes after eight o'clock this morn
ing Mr. Rush commenced the opening state
ment for the defense. The chief point, he
claimed, would be that Frank James was not
at Winston. 1t would be contended that the
testimony of an accomplice was insufficient
to convict unless corroborated as to the main
facts. The character of Mrs. Bolton and Lid
dell, as well as other principal witnesses for
the State, would be shown to be such as to
render them unworthy of belief.
There would be testimony to contradict that
of such men as Jonas Potts and Ezra Soule,
and a witness would be produced who was
on the train that was robbed. The latter
would swear that Frank James was not in the
car. 1t should be shown, too, that there was
conspiracy to prosecute the defendant with
Liddell as the chief plotter, and the Fords
and Bottoms as co-consplratorS.
The officers of the law from Kansas City
were in this trial actuated by revenge, as they
failed to get the reward of $50, 600 which would
| have gone to them if the accused had Surren
dered at Kansas City.
AS to the man the States witnesses saw at
different places, it would be urged that this
was man who was like Frank James, but
who, in fact, was somebody else. The case
was one of mistaken identity, and it would be
proven where Frank James really was. Inc
defendants counsel had been unable to foE
low the maze of Liddelfs testimony, because
their client could not assist them, he being
| just as ignorant of the details OF the WINSTON
| robbery as they were.
The first witness called was Sam t. Brosius
| who was on the train at the time of the Win
| stOn robbery He testified to seeing the con
| ductOr shot and to the appearance of the rob
| bers who entered the car where he was, whom
| he described as having full boards He was

to their house two or three weeks before the
robbery. The latter witness recognized Lid
dell as one of the party. Mrs. Bray also iden-
titled the defendant.
Mrs James Frank, residing eight miles west
of Gallatin, testified to a visit by a man re-
sembling defendant to her home two days be-
fore the Winston robbery; he had Burnside
WhiSkers.
Frank Wolfinbarger, residing eight miles
northwest of Galatin, testified to defendant
and three other men being at his house in the
latter part of June, 1881. They stayed all
night.
Mrs. Lindsay sister Of the last witness, tes-
tilted to the same effect, and thought she could
not be mistaken as to the identity of Frank
James as one of the party.
P. Matthews testified to the loss on the 10Th

face and white hind legs, which he recovered
about seven weeks later in Ray County.
William NJ. Roberts testified to finding above
mentioned horse about the last of July or
first of August and turning it over to Sheriff
Timberake.
Sheriff Timberlake corroborated the preced-
ing witness and testified to the subsequent
disposition of the animal.
The State here rested its case and the Court
adjourned.
Mr.. Rush will make the opening for the de-
fense tomorrow, and, as near as can be ascer-
tanned the defense will endeavor to show the
existence of a conspiracy to fasten the crime
on the defendant, and will also show that
Frank James was not in the State when the
crime was committed.

FUNERAL sERVICEs.
A Word Of Explanation from the Rev.
DR.. Cunningham.

A Word Of Explanation from the Rev.
DR.. Cunningham.
To the Editor Of the lntelligencer.
SIR: In an article prepared by one Of your
gentlemanly reporters, About Funerals"
and published in the INTELLIGENCER OF
last Saturday morning, there are couple
OF statements which are not correct. In
abiding to addresses made Al funerals,
the reporter has made me to say that "a
regular set sermon would often relieve a
minister from embarrassment" On the con.
trary, II Is the very thing that would EN-.
barrass him, II he had four or five regular
sermons to preach on funeral occasions
during the week, in addition TO his ordin-
AIRY ministerial duties.
In certain localities In our country 1t is
the uniform custom to HAYES funeral SER
mon preached whenever o death occurs,
whether the person be distinguished
citizen or little child. Now take
a pastor OF one Of our large
congregations, whore he Is FIRE.
quently called upon to ofticiate at iu-
nerals four, or five, or six times in week,
and we can realize that the labor would he
more than he could continue to endure.
Therefore, from the communities where
this custom prevails, comes chiefly the pro.
test against the old usage, and the adyo.
cacY of prepared burial service which can
be used on all occasions. But it is out OF
the question TO secure uniform burial SER
vice in our country where we have people
OF all nationalities, and different denomi.
nations Of Christians. Let the service be
as simple as possible-the reading OF few
appropriate selections from the Word OF
iod-the singing Of hymn or psalm, II
setting forth the lessons Of the Divineproy-
idence, and the whole concluded with
prayer.
In the same interview which the reporter
had with me, ! intimated that it would be
well to suggest to the undertakes TO adopt
custom which prevailed in Eastern and
other cities, namely, always to send car.
riage for the officiating clergyman. The
reporter has Enthusiastically, surely made
me say, 1T Is already the custom in almost
every other city, but Wheeling is behind
in 1t, as she is in several other matters"
The last part Of the pentence, "as she is in
several other natter" Is an overflow OF the
reporters pen, as did not use the phrase.
He may be accustomed to hear others gay
that Wheeling Is behind, but l am sure she
Is ahead in many good and commendable
things. In behalfo Of many Of the clergymen
OF Wheeling, would suggest to the cour-
teous and gentlemanly undertakes Of our
city the propriety Of adopting the fixed
and uniform custom which prevails in
other cities, Of sending carriage for the
officiating clergymen; It is frequently done
so here when requested, bat often 1t is for.
gotten. D. A. CUNNINGHAM.
