this course in the interest of harmony. They
did not want to create ill-feeling by even an
apparent slight to Gray.

Among these was tn he famous Chester
murder case, wien Emma Pfitzenmayer
was killed i'm her sisters house about
two yaers ago. Next to the last case
that he testified in was that of Henry
Davis, recently found guilty of the
murder of job Haas, the Mount Airy
coal dealer. Dr. Formad testified that
the blood found on Davis's clothes and ON
the stick which he was seen to carry WAS
similar TO that of the dead man.
Dr. Formal was born i'm Russia in a
small town ON the River Don, near the
Caucasus. and when but II years old
served as surgeon in the Russian army.
He was arrested as Nihilist and
escaped. Several of his companions
were shot He made his way TO Berlin
and from there came to this country.
DR.. Wood thinks that the frequent
blood poisoning which Dr. Formal sus-
tanned through punctures Of the fingers
while making post-mortem examinations
had so weakened his system that he was
unable to rally under "a severe attack.
