think there would be any general rule as
regarded the first symptoms. In the latter
stage there is intense pain. He described
in general the symptoms of such poisoning.
Q.-From your autopsy did you form any
conclusion solely from the autopsy as to
the cause of the mans death?
Al should say no." He added that
the congestion of the lungs might have
caused death.
Cross-How many cases of fatal strych-

He said that he had taken a 35th of a

Q.-Strychnine causes congestion OF the

serious disturblnc of the spinal cord. No

there were no means of ascertainiug any
thing from an examination of it. If per-

This being the first day of the trial a
good deal of attention from the audience
was directed to the prisoner. Her face is
inscrutable, with lines of firmness plainly
drawn, and might be called "hard." Her
features throughout the county attorneys
opening did not change, but her feelings
were occasionally limited at in her eyes,
which were, the greater part of the time,
fastened upon. the witness or the jury.
During the opening of the prosecution her
little boy became restless and she took him
in her arms, where he fell asleep. She held
him in her arms the greater part of the af-
ternoon. When talking with her counsel
her face would brighten and the general i'm
preston one gets is that she doesn't realize
the gravity of her situation. When the
county attorney referred to her intimacy
with Trask she tossed her head little at
one statement as if to express contempt.
The interest in the trial viii deepen from
day to day as the line of defence becomes
more perceptible, and the sensational testi
mony is introduced.
