on MAY 90. was held before Justice Barry
sbis morning. The two Brookses are
brothers and the Rose woman was in their
employ at the time
County Attorney May appeared for the
State and Byron johnson for the DEFEND
ants. The most important witness, per-
haps, was DR.. S. NJ Morris, who made d
chemical analysis of the stomach OF the
dead man. He testified that meconic ACID
and morphine were both found In the
stomach. but did not say whether the
quantity found was sufficient to cause
death or not. The mecouic acid could not
have come from morphine as result OF
dissolution in the stomach. The acld is i
constituent part OF opium. In answer 10
question by County Attorney May Or. Nor
lis stated that teaspoonful of laudanum
would be sufficient to discolor and darken
a glass OF beer.
The testimony of Dr. Warfeld before the
inquest was made public today by Justice
Barry, aud Is as follows:
II was called upon by County Attorney
Nay and Judge Barry to hold an Inquest,
which | did on ---. found body
very much blopted and swollen, pupils OF
both eyes somewhat uniformly contracted.
Made an incision through chest walls,
ligated stomach at both ends, then re-
moved same; also removed section of liver
and one kidney, all OF which we're placed
in a bottle gotten for the occasion, same
sealed in presence of witnesses and de-
livered to Chemist Norris, with instruc-
tions to analyze same.
Clarence Warfeld,

ris submitted the following letter, show
ms the result of his work:
Hon. e. D. May, Attorney of Galveston
County, Texas;
Galveston. Texas. June S.-Dear Sir:
have made chemical examination of tho
kidney. portion OF the liver and the stom-
ach md It's contents, which were removed
from the body OF the unknown who died in
John Sealy hospital last week, and were
given to me by County Physician Warleld
for the purpose OF analysis, and have found
therein both meconic acid and morphine
Both of these substances being constitu-
ents Of opium, It Is to be presumed that
opium or some preparation of It like laud-
anum and not morphine was the original
substance taken, Yours truly.
Seth NJ, Morris,
Professor of Chemistry and Toxlcology,
Medical Department. University Of
Texas"
The witnesses examined by the state
were the same as those who testified at
the coroner's Inquest. The defense put no
witnesses on the stand. At the close OF
the hearing County Attorney May an
nounced that the contention of the state
would be that the defendants be remanded

QUESTION OF RACE PREJUDICE.


Point Il Raised in Trial of n Negro
for Murder.
Sherman, Texas, June l0.-ln the district
court today the motion Of Rob Smith, the
negro charged by indictment with the kill
ing of Mrs. ARIA Taylor (whte). to quash
indictment was argued. AS heretofore
stated in The Post the motion set up
pleas, special and general, of race preju-
dice. The substance OF the States re-
buttal was. First, because the applicant
now here alleges that his rights were in
any way prejudiced because of the white
jury commissioners or while jury; be does
not state he Is innocent and that grand
jury of negroes would have failed to ndict
him. He was arrested before the Jury
commissioner or grand jury were selected
and never requested the appointment Of
negroes on either until long after the in
dictment was returned Second, the State
especially excerpts to all that portion of
the motion to quash which refers to action
of the court in appointment of the commits
sion, the action OF the commission in So
lectng the grand jury or action Of the
grand jury in returning the indictment
because he no where sufficiently shows
that they or any of them were actuated
by malice or prejudice against the defend
and special denial OF all the allegations
OF the defendant applicant.
Quite number OF witnesses, both white
and colored, were examined and none gave
evidence conclusive that any race preju-
dice existed bearing on defendant The
courts decision will probably be rendered
