WORKING WITH FROGS.
An Expert Tolls of His Work in tn
DIR. Buchanan Trial.

a Ii Expert Oils t1ls ~ DIX IN the
DIR. Buchanan Trial.
New YORK, April 10.-The trial of DR..
Robert W. Buchanan for having poisoned
his wife to death last April was resumed
this morning. The cross-examination of
DR.. Henry P. Loomis by DR.. O'Sullivan
was continued. After stating that there
was no way to tell from a superficial ex-
animation whether or not a person had
died of morphine poisoning, and that In
the examination of the body of Mrs. Blu
ohanan he found nothing to show the
cause of death, his testimony was ended
and DR.. T. Mitchell Prudden was called.
He is also an expert pathologist and had
assisted in the sutopsy on Mrs. Buchanan.
He said he found no evidence of cerebral
hemorrhsge or any other disease and that
the lungs and kidneys of the deceased
were in good condition when examined.
Professor Witthaus was the next wit
ness. He is professor of chemistry in the
University of the City of New York. He
said he had examined the vitals of Mrs.
Buchanan to ascertain whether or not
there was any poison to be found. The
tests of the stomach were made with acid
which failed to reveal the presence OF chic
raj or chloroform. Six tests were made
and the action in four showed the pres
ence of morphia. Witness claimed he
found one tenth of a grain of morphine.
Experiments were also made to find traces
of the stroplne alleged to have been admin
istered by DR.. Buchanan to conceal evil
dences of the morphine, and Professor
Witthsus declared that crystals were OBJ
served like stropine crystals.
Professor Whithaus stated that in
searching for evidence of atropine por-
ton of the residue obtained from the
stomach through one of the tests was used
| in the eye of dog several times but 1t
| failed to have the effect usually caused by
atropine on ths eye. Therefore, il any
| atropine did exist in the stomach 1t was
marked by impurities. Portions of the
residue obtained by the tess were tried
upon frog to ascertain the presence of
morphine. Four frogs were injected with
a solution of morphine varying from one
sixteenth of grain to one one hundred
and twenty Fights Of a grain. Another
frog was injected with q portion of the
morphine recovered from the effects of the
drug. The one treated with the residue
| from the stomach of the deceased showed
similar symptoms and in few hours
seemed dead. 1t, however, rallied the day
| following. A day later it died.
| Professor Witthaus said the tests he used
| were the best known in order to discover
morphine, and the tests upon the frogs
were the best to prove the presence of
morphine. In addition to the morphine
found in the stomach there was the pres
ence of another drug. which in every way
but one answered the tests of atropine.
He was not prepared to say that 1t actual
~ was atropine, but he believed 1t was.

BosroN, April 10.-The committee on
railroads of the Legislature began an in
vestigstion to-day to ascertain If the New
York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
has been guilty of discrimination against
the New York and New England railroad
in the matter of diverting freight from
that road to the Old Colony. Both sides
were represented by counsel. Governor
Long, for the Fruit and Produce men of
Boston, stated that 1t was of the greatest
Importance that the perishsble fruit and
produce should have adequate facilities
which they got at the New York and New
England freight yards, but not at the
Providence depot yards of the Old Colony.
They have a right to have their goods sent
over the New England road but their
orders to have them so sent are wilfully
and deliberately disobeyed by the New
Haven company which sends them over
the Providence division. In one case last
week written directions to have them SO
sent had been changed by the New Haven
company. Such conduct has resulted in
great loss to members of the Produce ex-
change.
Mr. j. Il. Bennett of the Produce Ex-
change testifed to the superiority of the
terminal fscllities of the New England in
Boston and the efforts of the fruit and
produce men to have their goods come
over that road instead of the Old Colony,
whose facilities for delivery were messre
in comparison and of the persistent bslk-
ing of their efforts by the New Haven
o6oisls who continually diverted the
freight to the Old Colony when in many
cases 1t had been billed by the New Fog
land.
Mr.. Bennett said the merchants had not
been to the railroad commissioners as yet,
notwithstanding that had jurisdiction
whereupon Mr.. Benton of counsel for the
Consolidated raad said that the officers of
that road would obey any orders from the
commissioners. In the course of his testi-
mony Mr.. Bennett said that President
Clarke when he was with the New Eng
land did what he agreed to. "Whst we
want now" said Mr.. Bennett sis to get
him to agree not to divert freight"
"And that he will not agree to-" said
President CLARK who sat near the witness
President Mead of the Produce Exchange
corroborated Mr.. Bennett, and an adjourn
msnt was taken till next Wednesday.
