gsrding Mr.. Walkup's call upon him

Walkup. During that visit Walkup
described his ill.health and said he
had been using arsenlcal and mercu-
rial preparations. tcnics and vital
stimulants, including Fowler's solu-
ton.
Nathaniel d. Morton, of Vandalia,
Louisiana, an elde,ly aud sickly look
ing man, editor of the Sentinel of
that place, who was identified by DR..
Scott as having called with Mr.. Walk
up, corroboratcd the doctors testi-
mony regarding the interview. The
witness also related the alleged de-
hatchery carried on by Walkup and
himself In Kansas City aud elsewhere
at various times in 1884, Teciting them
in a manner and with a gusto, ex-
pressive of total disregard of all
character for morality that exhibited
the witness as phenomenal
specimen of depravity in regard to
RIGHTEOUSNESS. He claimed to have
made Walkup's acquaintance at Kan
sas City in the winter of 1888 aud
to have beeu conserving with him in
houses of ill-repute in that city last
December and confessed to having
procured waiter girl, called Miss
Fulton, as a consort for Walkup at
Dodge City last April, and another
for himself; that Walkup was then at
Newton; that the party all went on a
jamboree to Kansas City; that he saw

ease; that he saw him sick on the boat
while going down from st. Louis to

IN pr. SCOTS office in Kansas City; saw
him take arsenic the last Sunday in
November in house of ill-repute in
Kansas City and in the parlor of the
Liudell Hoiei; saw him take arsenic

Walkup on the boat.

gard % his alleged railroad trip with
MIR. Walkup; his visit with him toDr.
SCOTS Office, his presence ON the
