thetical expert questions presented to Drs.
G. a. Biddle, r. r. McCandliss, D. F.

and w. W. Hibbans. Their answers were
substantially and to most of the questions
literally the same as the answers given by
Drs. Gardner, Jacobs, Frost and
Page. Their cross-examination did not
include any questions as to whether
they had read and answered the aues-
tions before coming on the stand. All the
physicians agreed that in their opinion
an arsenical antidote on Friday, the
day before Mr.. Walkup's death, would
have mad no effect, though the conceded
medical practice would have called for the
administration, if only as protection to
the physician himself, had he been then
convinced that arsenical poisoning was the
cause of the sickness. Other evidence was
presented and the State rested the case.

THE Illinois timber is full of nuts this
year. The hickory, black walnut,
butternut and oaks never supported a
greater load. The branches are
weighted down till they appear almost
ready to break from the trees. The

are gathered by the wagon-load along

and further down in the State they
are shipped by the carload to the city
