 "I arrived at Dr. Warn.kros' office at ten minutes to IF o'clock. The deceasad died at 12:l5 or 1920. In my judgment he died from an over : dose of cocaine. 1 asked defendant if he had injected dose of CO., caine. He said 'yes.' I asked how long he had been in that condition aid received no definite reply. I asked him if he had injected cocaine in the gums. He said yes In loading up my syringe with the first dose of atropine found that my needle was not going to work properly and asked the doctor for the use of his syringe. In putting it to my mouth noticed cocaine stuck on it. Washed it out before using. Capacity of his syringe was about 60 minimum, perhaps 40, which is s of drachm. I asked how much cocaine he had gwen; said he used ten per cent solution. Am not positive what he said; think he said 8 syringe full. Heard him Say nothing about ten or fifteen grains. All overdose of CO., caine administered hypodermically is beyond reach. The system may be sustained until effect wears off. I SO attempted to do. Do not think I c ,uld have saved him had I been called immediately. Would not have considered myself safe in administer ing more than l grain because I am as yet in g certain amount of ignor- ance regarding the effect of cocaine, with man with heart affection it would be less, but don't think would administer it at all would refuse. The dose given to deceased was ab- solutely ten times stronger than I would feel safe in administering to an apparently strong, healthy, young man. Have administered cocaine to thirty or forty people. generally or drops of per cent solution" A long list of questions were asked regarding the effects of cocaine, etc, which were answered by witness, which would require too much space to publish.
 Frank Moore testified that he passed pr. Warnekros' office about 12:15. l Heard moaning, etc.
 Ben James testified that he met deceased that morning and that he was in apparently good spirits and usual voice. Dr, Sullivan testified that he would not feel safe in injecting cocaine into the gums to extract teeth. He would use small dose first and watch effect. Would consider himself safe in administering from to $ grain in performing operations, in as little water as would dissolve that amount. Considered 10 per cent solution might cause death. There is no known antidote for cocaine ad- ministered hypodermically. Is dangerous drug, to be used with care is so regarded.
 Dr. WarnekrOs, the defendant, was sworn and testified in his own behalf. He said that Howard Herring came to his office between 10 and II o'clock to get some teeth extracted; talked together before commencing operation. Injected cocaine something like ten per cent solution, not quite a syringe full. "Deceased said he had a syringe himself and while I was away used it great deal; that he was suffering while l was away. I proceeded with the injection and waited few mo- msnts to see the effect, and pricked the gum to see if he could feel it. pulled three upper teeth and before proceeding on the lower jaw turned to get him some water to rinse hls mouth, when he collapsed and tell from the chair against foot rest. I moved everything away to make room on the floor to have him lay in 8 position on his back; threw water on his face and wet towele and stopped it over his face to get him out of the fit. l called for help to Monier. The first two or three seconds he did not come but afterwords called and asked him to help me, to put on hi, clothes and go for Dr. Hamilton. In few min utes Dr. Hamilton arrived Explained tp hsv,, kla n. ,tn kol r |
