The following from the KF1sss City

The Journal says:
"a Journal IepOi ar terdaY after
noon saw w. w. Scott, Mrs. WaIkup's
counsel, entering the Office of DR.. @. w.
Scott, at GIT WyandOtte street. Dr. Scott
Is well know In this city. He is skillful
physician, has large practice and is a
fair minded gentleman. Until recently he
was medIcsl director of the depaI tment
Of Missouri, G. A. R., and IVES fol merry
professor of anatomy in the Ke1sas City
hospital college of medicine. Having
waited until the Law yer went away, the
reporter ESQ entered the Office md in
terviewed DIR. S.ott. At first he de- ctor
was dislnclined to give any irSol nation
a. to the object of the attorneys visit,
but ser some persuasion he admit
ted that Mr.. 6cott's visit Wss In
connection with the Waikup case. INF.
Walkup came TO me- said the doctor for
else early In DCcemksr. 1 have SAID
nothing about 1t heretofore. hoping that
Mrs. Walkup would be cleared without
my being necessltated to speak. But
since she has been held on Q charge of
murder feel that It is my duty to make
public all that know. had not, how
ever. int 'nded to give my stoIJ to the
papers just at present, but as I suppose
you will publish surmises If you don't
have the facts, prefer to give you facts
Two strangers were announced. One of
them, Mr.. Walkup, was tall man, while
his comparison was of medium height.
Both men had been drinking a little.
hr. Walkup's companion wes more un-
der the influence of liquor than he was
himself. do not think that mr. rs name
was mentioned to me; If it wrs have
now forgotten 1t. Mr. Walkup intro

his name, for 1t struck me as a very pc
culiar one. In fact l thought he was
| giving me an assumed name, and said
to him: oh. call yourself Jones. You
might as WE'LL This made him rather
indignant, and he asserted with emphe-
sis that Walkup was his name. l was
reading the printed record of the pro
ceedlngs Of the council in the city of
Hartford during the year when ! was q
councilman. / was looking up some
matters in that book, and Walkup, OF.
serving what was reading, asked me If
had been an alderman, end uron my
reply that had, he said that he was an
alderman, himself. In Emporia, Kansas
We then had q little conversation in
which We deplOreG the i'll usage which
public spirited aldermen were apt 10 re-
ceive at the hands of their fellow citizens.
He told me he had been suffering from
a chronic disease; that he had been suf-
ferlng from it for some time. 1t makes
no difference to you whether or not l
tell you what the diGease was. AS a
remedy for the disease he had for year
OF. more been taking an arsenical soIu-
ton. He had also taken arsenic in the
form of pills. understood him to say
that he had alternatcd between the pills
and the solution. He had been subject
to terrible pain of neuralgia character
In his stomach and through the IONS.
He placed his hands on his hips and
drew long breath, and told me how il
hurt him. He thought that perhaps
these pains were CAUSED by the use of
the srsenic, md he asked me what eff.
feet continued use of the preparation
would have upon him. He showed me-
. small phIal containing some of the
solution which he was using, and said
that he had used it for long time. He
also had prescription for the pills in
his pocket. The pills contained arsenic
and small amount Of opium. Inc sys-
tenn will tolerate larger doses ia pill
form If little opium is mixed with the
arsenic.' He was not quite sober. /
don't mean that he was drunk, but that
he had been drinking little. 1 thought
1t better not TO give him any specific ad.
wee at the time, snd therefore gave him
6 little general counssl-advised him TO
stop drinking, and told him TO come
around again end see me. Before he left
asked him under whose advice he had
been taking the medicine. He replied
that at present he was taking it under
his Owh advice. 1hese periodic attacks
OF pain had, however. ALA med him, and
he had for long time let mp IN the use
Of It, but he told me he bad egun again.
cannot see any objection TO the pro-
tracted use of the remedy in the hands Of
an intelligent physician. but in the
hands of men who seek 10 be their own
medical advisers, arsenical poisoning ia /
liable 10 take place at any time. WaIkup /
told me that he could come In again from /
Emporia without any trouble. He said |
he had passes over the railroad Ihad adj
ditionaI proof Of the feet that the man /
70 whom refer was Mr.. WaIkup. Mr. /
Scott the attorney, brought me about /
fifteen Photographs, sud among
them was one OF Walkup. |
BE asked me If Walkup's picture was
there, esd If l could recognize il. at
once picked out Wslkup's likeness, aud
said: 'sThat's the man who came here"
Judging from what the man told me-, he
had been using the arsenic = long time.
The symptoms ne had a. the time of his
death were very similar. If nos exactly
identical with symptoms which he had
often exhibited and which be described
to me. Il was very natural conclusion
that hIs death was the result of hss con
iinued uss of arsenic in the form of pills
