DIR. Crosson was recalled and briefly
INTERCEPTED and then passed to Judge
Fall for cross examination.
He said he made no quantitative
analysis of the blood and. that therewas
no recognized standard for the measur-
ement of blood corpuscles.
How long does it take blood to dry
in moist climate?\
That would depend on the condition
of the atmosphere.
