The condition of Morgan's bladder would

NOT nave produced death.
DR.. Adams swore that he discovered
hemorrhage of the bladder in Morgan
two days after the shooting. There
were no indications at that time of the
presence of septic germs in the bladder.
The condition of the bladder he would
attribute to the gunshot wound. Cross
examined, he said that soft catheters
were used at the hospital and exhibited
one similar to those he believed we're
used there. The manipulation of a soft
catheter could not produce hemorrhage
of the bladder. He had not mentioned
the hemorrhage 90 his examination in
chief because he thought the idea that
the gunshot wound had not caused death
was 80 ridiculous that it would not be
advanced. He had talked with DR..
Longeway about Morgan's condition
yesterday morning. He did not know
that Longeway had been in the court
room taking notes of the testimony of
surgical experts for the defense.
Sister Jasper, a nurse at the hospital,
was next sworn. She was in charge OF
the medical ward. She had given the
catheter to use on Morgan to the nurses,
James Fowler and John Miller. She
gave them an antiseptic solution for
washing their hands, one for cleaning
the catheter, and one for washing out
Morgan's bladder. She sterilized the
catheter three times per week. For the
night nurse she would prepare the
solutions and give them to him. She be-
lieved her instructions we're followed.
James Fowler, day nurse at the hos
pital while Morgan vas there, swore
that before using the catheter he washed
his hands in an antiseptic solution. He
washed the bladder out and then took
the catheter from a solution and used it.
He drew the water off from the bladder
every eight hours, sometimes a little
longer. Cross-eXamined, he said that
he nursed in the city hospitall n Chicago
for a year.. He had nursed at the Cas-
cade county poor house four years. He
was not discharged from the poor house
by DR.. Brady. He had done no private
nursing for Brady, Gordon or Ferguson.

May p. SIN McBratney's undertaking

swore that he had talked to Largent.
"About this case?" asked Largent. "No:

"What's the result?'' clam here the
witness replied amidst laughter and APP
plause as the court ordered a recess.
