prove that embalming is an unusual thing
in this section, the prosecution introduced
j. L. Dalton. who was in the furniture and
undertaker's business at this place some
five or six years ago. and proved that he had
used tho fiuid to preserve the features, but
had done no thorough embalming during
four years before he sold out to W. L.
Baldwin. Tho bottles that have been ex-
hibited were again brought in, and three
or four parties told what they knew about
them.
BURIED THREE GOVERNORS.

has been in the business for more than
forty years. was placed on the stand ana
SAID he did no embalming himself. but

ployed physician to attend to II for nm.
ho had done very little OF It, and u has
only been known In this country for about
fifteen years. Mr.. Rose had buried three
Governors of Virginia and their wives, but
had not embalmed them.

DIR. TAYLOR, the Richmond expert, then
took the stand and stated that his occupa-
ton, so tar as this case is concerned, IL
that OF State chemist. He has made many
chemical analyses of bodies for persons:
came here last June and examined the
body of Mrs. Baker; took part OF the sto-
mach. one kidney, and part of the liver.
The witness then proceeded to detail the
tests applied and the results, which always
indicated arsenic, zinc, aud possibly mer.
curry were found in the stomach; would
not say there was no mercury IN any part
of the liver; but in the parts examined
there was none arsenic was readily found,
and also small quantity of zinc.
PRODUCED FROM ARSENIC.
The witness stated the color of the
stomach as no found It. and said from his
examinations and all the circumstances
his best Judgment was that the redaess
was produced from arsenic swallowed oy
Mrs. Baker in life, but. owing TO the fact
that it might have been produced by
other causes, such as gastrltis, putrefac-
ton, or even causes not known, TINS was
not conclusive judgment
CONSISTENT WITH EITHER.
Indeed, il was q very poor one. The
quantity Of arsenic found Is consistent
with either the embalming or poisoning
theory.

RICHMOND TERMINAL
A NEW SYNDICATE TO UNDERNEATH
THE NEW SECURITIES.
The Matter of tho Presidency of the Re-
organized Company-Nsmes Men
tioned-March Interest Paid.
By telegraph to the Dispstcn.i

New YORK, March 1.--From members of
the Richmond Terminal Railroad CON-
pany Reorganization Committee it was
learned this morning that the committees
report would not be made public for two
OF three days yet. probably not until the
end Of the week. The committee held
meeting last evening and nearly complet-
ed their work, but there are, as one of
them said to-day, few minor details to
be completed and rounded of before it
can be submitted TO the security-holders.
On the success Of the plan depends the
successful operation of 1000 miles of rail-
road in one system. IL is believed that
there will not be much news in the COM
mittee's report when il is made public,
members of the committee admitting that
the outline of it already published was
substantially CORRECT, as well as the values
TO be placed on the different classes of Sc
curities.
NEW SYNDICATE.
To underwrite the new securities TO be
issued under the plan proposed by the COM
mittee, a syndicate has been or is beng
formed which will represent S35. 900, 900.
According TO the persons interested. near
scribed for that purpose. At the time of
the appointment Of the committee. with
Mr.. Olcott as chairman, a syndicate repre-
senting $6,000.000 was formed TO take care
OF the outstanding loans of the Richmond
Terminal Company. That syndicate, how
ever. II IL said. has not been called upon
10 advance dollar, and the members of 1t
have transferred their subscriptions to the
new syndicate, to underwrite the new
securities with the privilege of taking the
first securities offered. SUBSCRIPTIONS to
the new syndicate for many millions OF
dollars were guaranteed yesterday by seve-
raj well-known bankers aud prominent
capitalists.
DIG MONEY.
A gentleman who is closely identified
with q member of the reorganization com
mittee told q reporter this afternoon that
he should not be surprised If the subscrlp-
tion TO the syndicate amounted to $780,
000, 900.
The interest of the Richmond Terminal
collateral per cent bonds due March lst
was paid to-day at the Fourth National
Bank.
THE PRESIDENCY.
Nothing has been settled yet about
successor TO John II. lnman as president
of the Richmond Terminal Company. Dir.
Fink, il il SAID. has declined to accept the
place. 1t ls believed that II has been of
Tered to Captain X. S. Hayes. president of
the New York and Northern Railroad Com
pany, although it was stated to-day that
the presidency has not been definitely Of
fered 10 any one. Captain Hayes is we'll
known railroad man, and served under
Mr.. Hoxey IN the Missouri-Pacific Compa-
nys fight with the strikers. lie Is con-
nected with many railroads.
