How an Expert Cleared Woman of the
Charge of Murder.

How An Expert Cleared a Woman Of the
Charge of Murder.
''The only instance on record when
the blood of two persons was compared
in criminal trial." said Dr. Piper to a
Call reporter. yesterday, twas in a
murder case in Chicago. The compar-
ison settled the innocence of the woman
on trial for her life. The story of the
bloody transaction is as follows: A
comely woman, with $40. 600, married a
man In Chicago, and placed her snug
little fortune in his business. In the
course of tine he began TO abuse her,
and finally she decided to appeal for a
divorce. The double calamity of losing
a woman to beat and the withdrawal of
her $40, 900 from his business made the
brute furious, and the next morning he
was found dead in one corner of his
bedchamber. a bullet having gone
through his heart. His wife was found
wounded, in another part of the room.
She said that her husband had come
home the night before in a rage and
began to abuse her while she was in
bed: that he hit her on the head with
the butt of his revolver while her head
was on the pillow. and spattered blood
over the linen, that she jumped up, and
he shot her, intiicting a slight flesh
wound in her side, she then rushed at
him, and snatching the revolver from
him, shot him through the heart. He
reeled to the corner where he was found
and died. The prosecution did not be-
lieve her story, and set up the theory
that she had shot him while he was
asleep and dragged him to the corner,
and then inflicted the wound on her
self. The carpet where the dead man
lay was saturated with blood. Accord
ing to the theory of the prosecution the
blCoi on the pillow was his also. put
sections of the pillow with blood upon
it under the microscope, and drew on a
cardboard the shape of the corpuscles,
enlarged about two thousand diameters.
then put the blood on the carpet under
the microscope in the same way. The
comparison was wonderful. The cor
puscles on the pillow were bright, round,
and clean, they were beautiful The
on the carpet were large and
the result of disease. The
comparison settled that question at
once. The blood corpuscles were as
different as day and ght, and sustained
the woman's account of the shooting.
She was acquitted on that and other
evidence.
''As between human blood and dogs
blood, the microscope enables the ex-
pert to determine precisely whether a
specimen is from human being or a
dog. But it is impossible to determine
between human blood and a hogs
blood. This fact convicted one man

General Komaroff distinguished him.
self by military tact, audacity and re-
fsourcefulness as we'll as personal
bravery in the Russo Turkish campaign
in Asia Minor in 1877, when he won his
present rank of General After the
capture of Abraham, near the Russo
Turkish frontier, Colonel Komaroff was
left IN command of detachment which
had the difficult duty of defending a
considerable tract of the neighboring
mountainous country. and of protect
ing the Russian frontier as well as COW
ering the flank and rear of the army
then operating against kars. When
the movement urged by Loris Melikoff
was made against Erzeroum, Colonel
Komaroff executed a very bold and sue
cessful vancouver. With flying squad
ron he advanced from Arabian, passed
rapidly round the enemy's flank, and
came down upon part of the Turkish
force which was holding the Panak Pass
on the Sahanlough Range, which COM
manded access to the town of Olti on
the northern side, whence the Turks in
tended to attack Arabian. Colonel
Komarofs unexpected appearance had
such an effect that the enemy retreated
at once without fighting, and the Rus
slams were enabled to occupy Panak
and Olti, and to capture two thousand
rifles and five hundred thousand cart
ridges.
When at subsequent period of the
campaign the Russian troops were or
dered to retire from Hadj- Vail, Colonel
komaroff, with his detachment, found
himself placed in very perilous posi-
ton by reason of the withdrawal of
the main column of the Russian force,
from which he became separated by a
distance of from four to five miles,
while he was exposed TO Turkish fire
from the twin heights of Great and
Little Yalta- By dash he drove of
the two hundred Turkish cavalry who
held the Great Yalta, stationed a body
of his own men in their place and, un-
der cover of their fire, brought the
main part of his own force round to
the eastern slope of the hill, where,
after time, they were joined by re-
