smined. lie testified, that no had sold
tho 20 cent bottle OF quinine to Charles
Pollack. He also testified, AS did the
other Witnesses, that tho quinine
was Kept 10 larger bottles
and In bottles different In
appearance from those Ia
which morphine was kept, and there
could not possibly have been mauo n
mistske and morphine given for quiz
nine.
Thus II will DO seen that though the
bottle, whics WAS found In MIR. Pol.
