CRABS AND OYSTERS.

New York Commands Who Don't Know
Good Thing When They See 1t.
New Workers consider that they know
more about good things to eat than any
people in the world. The fact is, they
know less. New York itself produces
singularly few of the choicest table deli
cacies. Now, much ado is made oveI
softshell crabs in New York. and the
New York gourmands gobble mp the
pasteboard things sold as soft crabs anc
think they are delicious. The truth is
the flavor of the soft crab is so delicate
that it is at once ruined by being put
on ice. the destroyer of all havors. The
softshell, when he leaves his native
river, is fascinating fellow, with 6
charming saltish taste. Take him NJ
to New York and keep him on ice
twelve hours and he is the most taste
less thing that can be imagined. 1t re
duires as much salt as there was in Lott
wife to make him eatable. His outside
is all right. but his inside is dismal
failure. But the connoisseurs of New
York exult over this melancholy
shadow of the crap. in happy ignorance
that the soul, the spirit, the je nesias
quot. the essence, the spiritual part OF
the soft crab is gone to return no more.
They eat their Blue Point and Saddle
Rock oysters. forgetting that the oyster
loathes civilization, and that the near
ness of great city demoralizes it be-
vond repair. 1t is only in the virgin
waters of Maryland and Virginia thai
the oyster is really found.-M. Y. MAJ

Eleventh Day.

EMPoRIA, KAN, October 31.-As Mrs.
Walkup was to take the witness stand
to conclude her cross examination, there
was an unusually large crowd of spec
tators present at an early hour yester.
day.
The continuation of Mrs Walkup's cross
examination by Mr.. Sterry occupied the
forenoon session.
The chief testimony in the afternoon
was that of Dr.. Parr, as medical ex.
pert. The doctor cited several cases,
recorded in medical annals in which
arsenic had become enveloped in the ston.
ach, and one encystment, the latter the
same cited by DR.. Lanphear, and on the
strength of these last he gave it as his opin-
ion that the arsenic found in Mr.. Walkup's
stomach had possibly laid envelOped there
for a week or ter days, or encysted for q
year. He regarded it difficult to distin.
guish between syphilitic and arsenical uk
ceratiOns in the stomach and intestines, and
while the possibility was that Mr.. Walkup
died from poison administered during the
week Of his sickness, he could not be
absolutely certain as against the
encysted and enyelOped cases Of arsenic on
record. County Attorney Feighan cross
tual acauiesence in the opinion professed
by the States medical experts as to the
cause of that and the time Of administering
the arsenic, and the probable efficacy of an
antidote on Friday, the day before death.
The doctor saved his exception, as TO the
possibility of cyst, and took some of the
States experts; an antidOte should have
been given as long IS the patient could
swallow.
The State was well satisfied with the
cross-examination. The defense put in evil
dence a letter written by Mrs Harry Hood
to her father after marriage, repIOaching
him bitterly and his answer thereto. Willie
Willis, the cousin. testified to the pistol
shot occurrence, and said Mrs. Walkup did
not speak to him before going upstairs;
that he went up of his own accord. NJ S.
Walkup was also asked as to how MIR.
Walkup got upstairs in his supposed col
lapsed state on Friday, and said he walked
up, she steadying one arm and Libble the
other. Mr.. Scott announced that another
witness to prove Mr.. Walkup's sickness
of Saturday, August Is, and one TO
prove his use of arsenic in Emporia
were on their way, which he believed
would close the testimony for the de-
Tense. The Judge decided to hear applica-
tons for further testimony when the wit
nesses were on hand. The State began re.
buttal testimony to show that Mr.. Walkup
was we'll at Topeka, and up TO eleven
o'clock Friday, August Il, and TO show
that neither Mr.. Morton or Mr.. WaIkup
were at Dodge City at the cattle convention
in April, as stated by Mr.. Morton, ii called
Mr. HaDkle, Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel;
Captain Warren, of Emp0ria; J. II. Har.
rison, of EmpoTia, and Allen Biiderbach
for these purposes. Mr.. Hankle's testt
mony located Mr.. Walkup ut Topeka, Az

Case.
After Occupying Six Days In Examining
Witnesses the Prosecution Rests
Mrs. Walkup's Attorneys Making
aVigorous Defense.
Seventh Day-The Defense.

EMPoRIA, KAN, October 27.-When the
Walkup case opened yesterday morning
the State announced that it had no further
evidence ready and gave way for the defense
Mr.. Scott then addressed the Jury in ex-
PLANTATION of the defense which his client
was prepared to make. He spoke for over
an hour, during which he said he deprecated
any criticism of the dead, but the prosecu-
ton had been such as to compel the defense
to exhibit Walkup's private character and
habits as they really had been. His address
made marked impression.
Eben Baldwin, of Lawrence, was the frs.
witness called by the defense. He related
how he went with Walkup last December
to visit the New Orleans Exposition. Walk
up bought medicine in a St Louis drug
store. Witness did not know what it was.
Walkup became sick with vomiting and
cremping pains in the stomach on the boat
below Memphis, and was sick two days and
did not eat His condition on the second
day was considerably worse than on the
first He was in bed during his sickness.
Witness attended Walkup during his i'll
ness. There was physician on the boat,
but he was not called in. as Walkup said
he knew himself what was the matter, and
that he would pull through" The wit
ness said he did not notice cramping or
rigidity of the limbs. Walkup recovered
before the boat arrived at New Orleans.
The witness related how the party went to
Mrs. Wallace's house and made the &C.
quaintance of the family. the daughter
Dora and Minnie, and the boy Willie Willis.
j. II. Harrison, clerk in the Santa Fe
depot at Emporia, deposed to a converse
ton between himself and Mr. Walkup on
Saturday, August Is, in regard to the lat

Ninth Lay.
EMPoRIA, October 29.-Court opened at
nine o'clock and Mrs. Walkup, her mother
and Mrs. Mary Jay came in and took their
respective places.
William Jay, guardian of Mrs. Walkup
the first witness, declared that between
July 5 and 10 Mr.. Walkup in his Office took
dose of white powder, saying to him that
it was arsenic. On his cross-examination
by Mr. Sterry the witness said he had not
remembered the incident until after the
CorOner's inquest or spoken of it before
the trial except to the counsel for the de-
tense.
B. Graham, associate editor of the Daily
Republican, deposed that he saw Mr.. Walk
up the morning before he died and had
conversation with him. He saw him sitting
on his porch in the summer of 1884. He
said then that he had no appetite and had
pains in his stomach and bowels.
DR.. 81. W. Slower testified TO having
treated Walkup twice for private disease,
once last May and over two years before.
j. B. Moore. painter, of EmpOria,
painted Mr.. Walkup's house last June, and
saw him sick on his porch. He said he was
MculCluo MIL d
DR.. S. A. Lanphear, of Kansas City, was
called as an expert He had made spe-
cial study of toxicoIogy, and taken lectures
at the Missouri Medical College at St
Louis, and graduated there. Arsenic
taken as tonic kept the body more nour-
ished and increased the sexual powers.
The symptoms of chronic arsenical poison
ing and Of acute gastritis would be similar.
He gave an elaborate statement of the eff
feet of arsenic upon the system. He next
explained the blood disease in its stages
and declared that the last assumed the
symptoms of almost every disease
the human system was liable
to. 1t often attacked the hin, breast and
skull bones. The manifestations might be
found in any part of the system, and might
ulcerate the digestive tract and produce oc-
casiOnal depression in cheerful DISPOSE
ton. man of good frame and active who
had the disease would be well nourished if
he took arsenic as tonic. Arsenic could
be enveloped in the mucus of the stomach
and eventually become encysted there to re-
main an Indefinite time. Cases were cited.
The hypothetical questions read by the
State TO its experts were read to the witness
and his answers were that it was possible,
by having been encysted and enveloped. for
the arsenic found i'm the stomach to have
been taken long time before. 1t was no
use to administer an antidote after the pa
tent had reached state of collapse.
DR.. Lanphear's examination was con
tinued during the afternoon. He said that
q man was in collapse when the hearts &C
ton was feeble, the pulse almost imper-
ceptibIe, the features pinched, the expires
sion indicating fear of Imminent peril.
The witness described al great length the
condition of patient b vsrions stages Of
collapse, what arsenic Is and its effect Upon
the system. and Whit the books say about
1t His cross-exa.nination continued until
Court adjourned.
