Elizabethtown, KY, is a brother of
o. Il. Moore, who has been engaged
in the telegraph Office here for some
time and left few days ago to visit
the family in their great distress.
The affair has created a wide sensa-
ton. Showers was charged with the
murder of his Young wife, Moore's
sister, a few months after their mar
riage, and was cleared. Since that
he has Vindictively pursued Moore
and the killing was the result.
Moore killed him with a shot gun,
firing the charge into his head, and

WHAT PROFILE TALK ABOUT.

Since DIR. Wharton testified in the
Avant murder trial, as to analysis Of
Mrs. Avanps stomach, people have
been talking about expert testimony
in such cases DIR. Wharton's evil
dence was very interesting and it put
all the lawyers in the case to reading
medicine. One was noticed on the
streets early this morning, just com
ing from breakfast, who had under
his arm five volumes, each bearing
the stamp of medical science. He
said he had been reading them all
night and thought he understood the
case thoroughly. DIR. Wharton said
in his evidence that he found unmis-
taxable signs of strychnine in the
stomach, but he also said that some
chemists and investigators in a com
Raratively new field claim that there
are ptomaines which, under a chem
zeal analysis, give similar reactions or
color tests. He also said that very
few rare alkaloids of vegetable origin
do the same. In palmer language,
when the human flesh begins decOm-
posing, according to this theory, it
will, under a chemical analysis, give
back the same reaction as strychnine,
Upon this ground the attorneys for
the defense will endeavor to break
down the effect of DIR. Wharton's tes-
timony. While DIR. Wharton does
not believe in the theory, he thinks
enough Of it to allude to it on the
witness stand and to give it to the
jury for what it is worth He stated
yesterday that there was only one
author of any note on medical science
who avanced this theory, while there
are hundreds who, combat the theory
and say there is nothing in it.

There was more expert testimony
in the Persons trial at Memphis a
few weeks ago perhaps than has been
taken in any other case for a number
of years in Tennessee. Persons was
charged with the murder of his wife,
and the WOman'S skull was brought
into court and surgeons were called
in to show the jury just what kind
of indentation a bullet would make
on the skull. Many noted physi
clans and surgeons were examined,
but when Judge DuBose charged the
jury he Knocked that expert testi-
mony in the head to a certain extent
He held that it could be taken by the
Jury for what it was worth, but he,
himself, did not put much faith in
expert testimony, thinking that it
was slender foundation upon which
to convict man of murder.

have performed his work well. as the skit is
prolific i'll fun, and abounds in laughable
scenes and situations. The scenes are laid
i'll San Francisco. The plot is not strong
but answers all purposes by tying together in
dramatic way a bright. breezy dialogue,
large number pretty songs, many novel
specialties and some unique musical efforts
Hoyt has invested this skit with a deal of
natural unctuous humor. AS a laugh pro-
Queer the farce is said to be among the most
successful of his many comedy creations
Some decidedly amusing caricatures are in
troduced, among the most amusing is an i'm
personation of the man who is always sick
and going TO die. Mr. Hoyt has pictured this
sort of an individual in a most humorous
manner and has made some laughable
scenes dependent upon the eccentric com
icalities of the character. The play contains
other Characters who contribute largely to
this fund of laughter. There is not dull
spot in it and the fun continues so fast aud
furious that the audience is kept in con-
slant state of merriment. The company Mr.
Hoyt has engaged for the piece presents
strong array of comedy talent Among those
deserving of special mention are Harry Gill
