examiner and whenever The police find any
thing that looks queer it is submitted to
him for examination. He generally makes
short work of them by whipping out his
pocket-knife and dssecting them. In case a
person dies under peculiar circumstances and
the police think he has been poisoned, a
sample of the food taken from the stomach is
sent to the professor and he makes an exam
