Professor Vaughan Conducted His
Tests in Open Court at the DIR. Bu.
chanaa Trial. 'a-.~- -
NEW York. April 1s.-The trial of DR..
Robert Buchanan, charged with the muir
der of his wife. was resumed this morning
in the court of general sessions. Profess
sor Vaughan of the University of Michi-
gan again took the stand to testify for the
defense. A table was placed before the
witness on the stand. on which stood two
walls containing extracts from accompanying
pancreas, one having one-tenth of grain
of morphine and number of chemicals.
The witness then proceeded to make tests
on the psncress for morphine.
The scene In the court room while DR..
Vaughan was making the tests was an un-
usual one. Lawyers and spectators left
their seats and crowded around the table
on which the tests were being made. Even
Recorder Smyth took unusual interest in
the proceedings and left his seat to watch
the professor make his experiments. When
the tests were completed Mr.. O'Sullivsn
asked Professor Vaughan If in his opinion
the tests were of value in giving an opin-
Ion as regards the presence OF morphine.
Witness replied that If one did not know
beforehand that morphine was contained
in the pancreas 1t would be impossible to
state with any certainty that morphine
was present.
After recess Mr.. Wellman asked Pro-
lessor Vaughan to repeat the tests made
during the morning, but with pure NOR
phine instead of a solution of accompanying
pancreas and morphine, as used this morn
ing. Two tests were made without start
ling developments.
Mr.. Wellman cross-examined for over an
hour, but failed to weaken the testimony
of Professor Vaughan in any material
DR.. Walter Theodore Seeley was the
next witness. He ISIS criminal chemist"
After giving some testimony relative to
the proper way of eudeavoring to detect
the presence of morphine or atropine in a
human body the court excused him uRtil

The Law school Team Easily Defesr
the wesleyan Boys-Little Brilliant
work Done.
MmpDKrowN, April 1s.-Ths Yale law
school team came here to-day and went
away quietly after having defeated the
Wesleyan boys by score of 6 to 8. The
game was not nearly as close as the score
would indicate, and after the frat inning
1t was never in doubt. The visitors'
catcher could not hold Bowers, and Wee
lsyan's runs are the result of his passed
balls. Bowers, even thus handicapped,
made monkeys of the local team. The Wis
itors hit Frost hard, but generally into the
hands of the infeIders. The game was de-
void of any brilliant work, with the eI-
ception of pretty double play made by
Reddington and Norton in the frst inning
