hat the whole contents would Icontaln
Just double the amount obtained by him.
Cross examihation-When received oy
he professor, the stomach, liver and one
kidney were all in one jar did not anal
we the kidney. The sum total amount
Of arsenic found by the professor in all
the specimens submitted TO him, was
Two and 5OS-1OO0 grams. The
stomach, liver and kidney being In
same jar might obtain arsenic one from
the other; could not determine whether
or NOT arsenic had recently become In
In the remains.
DR. G. W. Frost, coroner. Direct ex-
amination-Was present at the autopsy
of Wslkup's body; casually inspected
the intestines; found the stomach
highly inflamed and congested and the
liver fatty; the intestInes presented q j
slight protrusIOD: areenlc would /
produce these conditions; re-
ceived q package from Dr.. Gardner
purporting to contain specimens OF
Walkup's remains; gave this to DR.. Hsr-
rison with instructions to take 1t to Kan
sas City for analysis.
Dissemination: From what he
saw OF tho stomach and intestines could
not say what had produced their congest-
ed state. The fatty degeneration of
the liver might have resulted
from several causes. Nothing in the ap-
pearance of the viscera to indicate
whether arsenic was recently taken or
not.
Chas. Ryder. direct examination-pro-
duced 10 grains BIsmuth, and some bulk
arsenic, which weighed 81 grains, Ex-
cused.
DR.. Gardner recalled. Direct examin.
ation-did not think protrusion of intes-
tine in Walkup's body would be pro-
duced by syphilis in any form. The
Dr. then placed the blsmnth and arsenic
brought into court by MIR. Ryder into
two separate teaspoonfuIs of water and
exhibited them to the jury for the pur-
pose of showing their different solubIli-
ty. A man of Walkup's size should
have twenty-one pounds of blood. The
/ blood sent to Prof. Jones for analysis,
was obtained from the heart, when II
was cut open. IF there was $4,000 in
four ounces OF blood taken from Walk
ups body, in ali there would be one and
$1,000 grains. This would Ebe enough
to produce death.
| Cross examination-Could not say
abs olutely that Wslkup's blood contain
ed only one and $1,000 grains of arsenic.
