parted with them he had not again hadthe oo'
ties in his possession.
No MICROSCOPE USED.

The cross-examination Of the witress was con-
cluded by Mr.. Brooke. He first drew from DR..
OHanlon a statement to the effect that no micro
scopical examination was made Of the organs
of the deceased woman. There was al no
time In the autopsy a microscope used Mr..
Brooke endeavored to discount the value OF DR.
OHanlon's examination of the body by eliciting
from him that at preliminary conversation
with Dr. Bullman he had related to him the
latter's suspicion concerning the cause OF death.
Witness admitted that before making the au-
topsy he asked DR.. Bullman for his opinion OF
the case.
Apart from DR.. Bullmans opinion" asked
Mr. Brooke, was the result OF your examination
sufficiently conclusive 10 enable you to swear
that death was caused alone by irritant poison
ing?"
DR. OSullivan objected to the question but
eventually the witness was allowed TO compromise
by replying that he came to the conclusion. after
making the autopsy, that death was caused by
irritant poisoning
ness affirmed with the exception OF the stomach
and its contents. were returned to the body,
which was then sewn up. So far az he knew. the
body was buried minus none OF its organs ex-
cept the stomach. DR.. OHanlon related that
after putting the stomach and contents In two
sepa, ate bottles-one a decanter and the other
cologne bottle-they were sealed. but not in his
presence. He took them home and put them In
his desk until the following day. when they
were delivered to James 7. Malone the Coroner's
clerk The bottles contained at that time no
special mark beyond labels tied around the
necks with string
INFLUENCE OF THE ANALYSIS.
Suddenly abandoning this line Of inquiry Mr.
Brooke asked the witness: Was the opinion you
formed regarding the presence OF irritant poison
ing in the body Of Mrs. Bliss based upon the
analysis?" The witness replied that such
the fact and then. as If to add greater weight
to the question, Mr.. Brooke asked again: Would
you have formed any opinion as to the presence
of this poison If you had not been informed OF
the result of the chemical analysis" mo. sir
would not" replied DR.. O'Hanlon. and the an
swer was apparently satisfactory to counsel
that he ended his cross-examinaton abruptly
at that point.
Jeremiah F. Kenelly, clerk In the District
Attorneys office. was called by Mr.. Mcintyre
for the purpose Of tracing the course OF the YES
sells containing the stomach removed by Dr.
O'Hanlon at the autopsy. His time on the stand.
however was brief, Mr.. Brooke quickly sue
ceeded In convincing the Recorder that MI
Kenelys evidence was little premature.
DISPOSED OF QUICKLY.
Mr. Brooke got In his protest Immediately. Mr..
Mcintyre asked the witness to describe what he
received from Malone the Coroner's clerk a,
the District-Attorney's office on September ..
1895 AT the present moment this evidence rs
irrelevant" urged Mr.. Brooke. The evidence
bearing upon this phase u the case is the most
conclusive and most important In this trial. IL
is not In order, that this man can TESTIFY that ne
received
through Malone's hands Is traced. They must
be traced In the regular course. from Dr. y nan
lor to Malone and so on No inference can arise
from the fact that this witness received the yes
sells from Malone. that they had any reIa-
ton to the vessels received by Malone from Dr.
OHanlon.". The Recorder recognized the force
Of the argument and directed that keneIy
should be retired for a while and that Malone be
heard 80
James Malone was then sworn and testihed
that he was a clerk to Coroner O'Meagher dur
ing 1895. and that the two vessels before re-
ferred to were received BY him from Or. o Han
lon and that one-half Of the contents he delv-
cred to DR.. Walter T. Schcele. the analyst at his
laboratory at No. IS Whitehall-st. The other
half he retained and returned to the Coroner's
office.
AS TO THE PITCHER.
Then Malone was asked about the pitcher that
he also delivered to DR.. Scheele. 1t was given to
him, ne said. by a clerk In the Coroners office
named Crawford Describing 1t. he said it was
a small white pitcher with break near the
neck. and had capacity Of about one pint
The bottom OF the pitcher was covered with a
small white sedir-ient. He was proceeding to
reply to further question by Mr.. Mcintyre as to
whether he had received anything else from the
Coronsr's ONCE when Mr.. Brooke who had for
some moments been ndgeting uneasily In his
