GARDENERS EXTRAORDINARY PLEA.
Instead Of calling Mr. Carvaho. Colonel Gardiner
! NJ once started to sum up the case 70 the jury
Colonel Gardiner explained to the jury the Iea-
cons for the delay in bringing the case 10 an IN
vestigation. saying that II was necessary 10 M'''
until Professor Witthaus had finished the exafh'ha-
! tor Of the contents OF the bottle before the Dis
+rjct-Attorney could determine whether or not Mrs
Adams had in reality died from poison lie con-
