Then Flncke told the prosecution that he
didn't think It possible that the murderer Of
old Carrie Brown could have escaped from the
scene OF the butchery by way OF the iron lad
der to the scuttle IN the roof, and after this
tne witness was turned over TO Lawyer
House.
Mr. House asked questions about the shape
color and appearance OF each OF the forty, or
carefully collected and preserved, and then
asked:

spots and stains were dark and dryi"
The witness said they were and DR.. Heide-
koper, Prof Mott and DR.. Gibicr each made u
note OF II.
The detectives had described three blood
stains that he had found on the dirty bed-tick
In room SO, and Mr.. House asked:
" can you swear that that Is the tick that
Frenchy slept on Il he slept in room 33 that
Thursday night, April 237"
The witness could not, and then Juror
James Shipman. the white-bearied patriarch
In the third chair In the jury box, took him in
hand.

Besides, | think Mr. Thompson told me II was

OF that hatChway"
Juror No. 10, Harris Brown. took a hand.
He tested Detective Sergeant FsinCkc's
memory by asking what color the paint was
on the doors OF the top floor In the East River
Hotel
The witness thought II was slate color.
DOOrmnn John JOuudas who had been re-
ferred to by the lawyers as Jandes, came Ia
the stand TO relate how he removed Frenchy's
shoes and stockings shortly after the
prisoner was put in his care and carried them
to the Captains room, where Chiet Byrnes
and Capt, Mclaughlin were In solemn convo-
cation with the sieuths or the greatest detec-

"Now, sir" demanded Mr.. House.
you are quite willing to swear, captain,
are you not, that nj that time the bcd-ticking

The Captain said that the tick hau not been

by the police.

Assistant ct-Attorney Charles simms

House and the captain used him for q model
TO Illustrate the location OF the bright red

This stain was at point where Frenchy
could not reach II himself.
How did that blOod-Stain get there?
MIR. House asked capt. Mclaughlin II he eX-
Gmined both the inside and the outside OF the
front OF Frenchy's shirt, and the Captain said
"Only the outside"
Mr.. Levy. at recess, asked the Recorder for
an order directing physical examination OF
Frenchy. This was. OF course, 10 determine
whether the blood on the shirt might not have
been shed by the Arab himself

quest, and recess was ordered.

siOnal sereice seventy-siX examinations, in as

Attorney, and visited DR., Edison, who gave
me fourteen different packages"
The witness enumerated them.
All these fragments the expert said, con-
tained 6lood-nOt human blood but man,
malin blOod-and all but SIX OF the articles
contained such blood mixed with intestinal
matter.
Dr. Formal went into on exhaustive lecture
and illustrated portion OF his dissertation

The most damaging testimony 10 the pris-
oner was the declaration by Dr. FormRd that

shirt worn by " Frenchy" at the time OF his
arrest, and which he submitted In evidence,
contained precisely the same character OF
blood mixed with intestinal matter that was
