Quartermaster Sergt Sillivan, of the
Ninth Massachusetts. had been through
the Santiago campaign. and came to
the stand full of the memories of can
ned and refrigerated beef. The for
mer. he said. the men barely tasted.
The latter he started in to describe as
a strange and gruesome article. unlike
anything he had ever seen. He said it
had a deadly SMELL" Here he collided
with the recorder who insisted on hav-
ing a strict definition of "a deadly
SMELL"
Witness got as far as saying that
'"the deadly smell" was different from
the smell Of decomposing beef, but
here the recorder demanded a state
ment of the mechanism of decomposi-
ton. and a list of the gases which
would be evolved. The witness there
upon went to pieces and reduced the
whole statement to saying that the
beef was very bad" and on this he re-
fused to be shaken.
The list of witnesses having been ex-
hausted the court adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday.
