 "I arrived at Dr. Warn' kros' office
 at ten minutes to l2 o'clock. The
 deceassd died at F IS or 1920. In
 my judgment be died from an over .
 dose of cocaine. l asked defendant
 if he had injected 8 dose of CO.,
 caine. He said yes l asked how
 long he had been in that condition
 and received no definite reply. I
 asked him if he had injected cocaine
 in the gums. He said yea In
 loading up my syringe with the first
 dose of stropine found that my needle
 was not going to work properly and
 asked the doctor for the use ot his
 syringe. In putting it to my mouth
 noticed cocaine stuck ou it. Washed
 it out before using. Capacity
 of his syringe was about 60 minimum,
 perhaps 40, which is { of drachm.
 l asked how much cocaine he had
 gwen; said he used ten per cent
 solution. Am not positive what he
 said; think he said a syringe full.
 Heard him Say nothing about ten or
 fifteen grains. Ah overdose Of CO., caine administered hypodermically is beyond reach. The system may be sustained until effect wears of. I so attempted to do. Do not think I C ,uld have saved him had been called immediately. Would not have considered myself safe in administer ing more than | grain because I am as yet in a certain amount of ignor- snce regarding the effect of cocaine, with s man with heart affection it
 would be less, but doh't think would administer it at ali-l would refuse. The dose given to dece.Nsed was ab- solutely ten times strou ger than I would feel safe in admins sering to an srru.S, hs1dhy, 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 wines, which wonld require too much space to publish.
 Frank Moore testified that he passed pr. Warnekros' office about l2:l5. 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 sn ount. Considered 10 per cent might cause death. There is no known sntidote for cocaine ad- hypodermically. Is a dangerous drug, to be used with care is so regarded.
 Dr. Warnekros, the defendant, was sworn snG 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 { syringe full. "Deceased said he had A syringe himself ahd while l wss away used it A great deal; that he was suffering while 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. Il pulled three upper teeth and before proceeding on the lower jaw turned to get him some water to rinse hIs ] mouth, when he collapsed and tell | from the chair against a foot rest I | moved everything away to make room on the floor to have him lay in a position on his back; threw water on 1 his face and wet towels and stopped it over his face to get him out of the fit. l I callesI for neIp 10 Monier The frat two or three seconds he did not come I but siterwords called and asked him | To help me, to put oa his clothes and l go for Dr. Hamilton.
