solution Of two human corpses in the

was corroborative Of that Of DR.. Riese.
he was asked: What was the charac-
ter of the liquid which was left after
that experiment." For reply the expert
stepped to the lawyers table. He picked
up large bottle containing a light COL
ored fluid with a slight foam upon the
top Of it. He stepped back to the stand.

was taken from the vat after the body
had been immersed for three and one

The expert took up another Of those

exhibited containing liquid taken at
various stages of the experiment All

looked like weak tea, as DR.. Riese had
stated. The solution was totally diff

Then came the contradiction Of ono

found aluminium in the LIQUID. and
ascribed it to the aluminium plate OF

the courts remark, but was overruled
Inc next strong point made was when
the professor asserted that the liquid
in which the defense had actually
boiled a human body showed TO traces
of alkaline hematin. which would have
indicated the presence of human blood.
Professor Delafontaine had sworn for
the state that he had found traces of
alkaline hematin in the original vat
solution. The defense wanted to prove
this by the speCtroscope. but the judge
would not permit it to be done.
