The report OF Chemist Green was simply

carbolic acid in the scrapiugs from the
boards taken from the clubhouse in the
rear Of the TyrrelI residence. Harrison
TyrreUs story Of finding the bottle IN a
vacant lot near the house was CONTRADICT
ed in a way by Albert Blair, VINO said he
did not see his playmate pick up the
bottle. Dr. Zaba!a, who performed the
autopsy, testified that the poison might
have been swallowed in the manner indi-
Gated bv its mother and that the scars
on his cheeks which have caused so much
Ejaculation and comment might have been
caused by Wiping the poisonous froth
away from the baby's mouth hastily, thus
smearing it over its face and causing the
superficial scars.
The testimony of Wilson Gray. the
father OF the child and the first to ac-
Cuse its mother CT the murder, was close
j. listened TO by the jurors, but his man

uttered. He said that some time ago MIS-
got hold of a bottle Of carbohc acid ana
that she had taken It away from MN,
adding. IF ne gets hold OF another bottle
I will let him drink II.
GRAY admitted that ne had been repeat
ediy arrested by the military authorities
while in the army for being drunk ana
that lie had finally been dIshonora9Iy als5 us
charged from the army. He also admitted
having been arrested on several occasions
bv the policc-twice on complaint or the
woman he now accuses of murder. Inc
fref lime she had caused his arrest for
threatening to shoot her with reNoLNer
and the second time for smashing the Iur7
nture with an ak. He had been released SEQ
on both occasions because the woman re-
fused to prosecute him. He told the Jury
how much he thought OF the chlld ana ms
voice trembled with emotion when ne IN
formed the 5urv that he had contributed
nearly s. toward the support OF the enid
since he parted from its mother three
months ago. -. -,
