WATCAMAN SpAYOE'S CASE.
DIR. Cooper TssiiHee Very Directly t,
Poisoning.

DIR. Cooper TssiiHe, Very Directly to
Poisoning.
A half dozen witnesses were called for
the prosecution, of whom the most inter
esting was DR.. James Cooper, an English
man. with diplomas from Guys hospital,
London. and several other English institu-
tons. His testimony, as already indicated.
was upon the symptoms Of arsenical poi
soning manifest in the case of Chris
Spayde, Homestead Waterman. DR.. Coop
er said he treated Spayde for six or seven
weeks for ir1itant poisoning, also for gas
tro-enteritis, and afterward for arsenical
poisoning, the latter symptoms being well
developed, particularly the swelling of the
eyelid and general puffiness of face and the
vomiting of peculiar mucus. TO the lat
ter treatment he responded.
Stood Cross-Examination Well
On cross-eXamination he admitted that
croton oil would have the same effect. He
had not made chemical examination of
the vomit. Did not consider q chemical
examination necessary where physician
was sure of his case. Witness said the
same conditions could have been produced
by salts of copper. Salts of copper could be
formed by victuals being allowed to stand
in a copper vessel. Copper, however,
couldn't have brought out the color of skin
he described, but instead, rash. The
cross-examination of DR.. Cooper lasted
over an hour. Question after question was
asked, but he answered all with a readi-
ness that seemed never to tire, and Mr..
Porter finally gave HIM up.
The Case of George A. Swsney.
George A. Swaney was then called.
Witness worked in the Homestead mills
and was twice taken sick and went to his
home in Latrobe, where he was attended
by Dr. s. J. Burchfield. DR.. Burchfield
testified as to his treatment of Swaney,
whose symptoms, the physician said, very
much resembled poison. Very few ques-
lions were asked witness, and the court
adjourned for the day

The Laxative Gum Drop.

Many people suffer from
indigestion without KNOWN g
that they are SO afflicted. They
get up in the morning with a
bad taste in their mouth. They
feel cross and out of sorts. They
are nervous and i'll at ease.
The doctor tells them that they
have malaria and they take
quinine without limit. But it
Goes them no guo5. What they
need is a gentle laxative, some
thing that will cleanse their sys-

with regularity and with per-

they are so gentle in their wol K

this remedy and remember that the

DURANGO, Mex, Jan. 13.-The overland
courier who has just arrived here from
Mazatlan brings news of most remarka-
BILE occurrence, the disappearance of La
gunda Msdre, or Mother lake, one of the
most beautiful sheets of water in the state
of Cinaloa. The lake was about thirty
miles long and twelve wide. 1t was stu
ated at the foot of the Sierra Madre noun
tains, the surrounding country being de-
voted to agriculture. A few days ago
there were series of slight earthquake
sho cks felt in that section.
Startled the Natives.
1t was during one of these seismic dis
turbances that the natives were suddenly
startled to see the water in the lake dis
appear as though the bottom had fallen
out. Thousands of pounds of fish were left
stranded on the bed of the lake. This sud-
den disap pearance of the water was caused
by a large crevice, which is supposed to
have been caused by the earthquake

POISON WAS USED.
Beginning of the Trial of Hugh
Dempsey.
THE ILLNESS AT HOMESTEAD MILL

Caused Undoubtedly by Deadly Drugs,
Physician Testifes-A Sensation in the
Way of Corroboratory Evidence Prom
ised-One Case in Which the Diagnosis
Was Arsenic and Which Only Yielded to
the Treatment for That Fatal Acid
Capt. Hunts Investigations.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 13.-The trial of Hugh
+. Dempsey for completely in the whole
sale poisoning of the Homestead workmen
last summer was begun in the criminal
court yesterday. The trial itself, so far as
it went for the day, did not reveal much
II anything not already known to the
public. But that there is large sized sur
prise in the background the counsel for the
prosecution and half dozen doctors and
expert chemists know. II was thought
that the witness through whom this mine
IS to be exploded would be on the stand
yesterday, but this feature was finally
postponed until today This witness is no
other than Captain Hunt, the well-known
analytical chemist.
Found Arsenic in Their Stomaehs.
He has been engaged for some time. at
the instance of the prosecution, in search
ing for poisons iu the remains of several
Homestead workmen who had died under
suspicious circumstances since last sum
mer. OF course he refused yesterday to
reveal anything as to the results of his ex-
aminations, but it was learned from an
authoritative source that arsenic in con
siderable quantities was found in one
stomach at least, traces of croton oil in
another, and traces of arsenic and other
mineral poisons in both bodies exhumei.
The-evidence of DR.. Cooper yesterday was
pretty positive as to the poisoning by ar
senic of one OF the men who worked at
Homestead.
The Poison Was Changed.
DR. Cooper said after he left the stand
that he bad no doubt at all that the man
Spayde, whom he had treated had been
| dosed with arsenic Then it didn't sur
prise you, doctor, to learn that arsenic
had been found in the bodies of Homestead
menu was asked. NO" was doctor Coop
er's reply; "of course they found arsenic
and other poisous, too. The poisons seem
to have been changed from time to time.
If Spayde had died | should have had a
post-mortem held most surely, and don {
| doubt that arsenic would have been found
in him, as it has been in the less fortunate
men who died"
Composition of the Jury.
After plea for delay on account of alb
sent witnesses for the defense. which the
court overruled, the jury was selected. 1t
consists of six farmers, one clerk, one gard
| ener, one painter, one manufacturer, one
merchant and one gentleman" Mr..
Breck outlined the events leading up to
the case, with which the public is already
| familiar. He thought the confession OF
| Gallagher and its confederation by other
witnesses would establish the defendants

the indictment-two charging attempted
