her case produced death. Even though
We may not be able 10 put our finger
upon the very specific and immediate

at all remarkable IN it, considering her

DR.. Kennedy was next visited. He
said ne had heard the verdict OF the
jury, or rather had read the fragnIen-
tary account OF it in the afternoon
papers.

81 do not see where, IN any respect,
they coincide. There Is, tor instance,
the testimony OF the county physician.
He Was asked tor an explicit opinIon as
to The cause OF death, and ne stated
without hesitation or mOdlilcatlO n,
'Sne died from natural causes.
When asked 10 be more eXpIlc-
1t still. and state what he meant
by natural causes, he replied IN these
words ipsisSEmd reTta: 81 mean that, al
together, these conditions might have
produced death, but cannot designate
any one N particular" And even Dr.
LuplnskI would MT say that ne thought
death was CAUSED by anything IN par
tcular. The very most he cOulu say
was 10 confess his ignorance OF the
whole situation. Not one single medl-
cal expert examined expressed the
opinlon that death was caused by the
administration OF the oZonlzed
air. Yet the jury have ex-
pressed that opinion, which they surely
got from somewhere outside the sworn
testimony"
