EXPERT TESTIMONY
In THE RICE CASE

New York. Oct. 29.-Following the
announcement of Professor Witthaus'
discovery of enough mercury to cause
death in the kidneys and intcstines of
William Marsh Rice. the old million
airc whose sudden death more than Il
month ago led To So many sensational
developments. and the chemists furth-
cr statement that mercury formed no
part of the fluid used in embalming the
body. n consultation of the authorities
will Ice held tomorrow which may de
eide the next step in ~uuTavCliug the
mystery.
That the old man had II prnchnnt for
patent medicines. and tina he fire.
quently look them Is admitted by his
physician and others who knew him.
Dr. Curry says that In nonc of the med
icicn prescribed for the old millionaire
by him was there any mercury. but he
adds that he found Mr.. Rice was tax
bE n friend. and that II was o with
out some argument that he induced the
patient to stop taking 1t.
An endenyOr To learn what druggist
prepared the medicine prescribed by
Or. Curry for Mr.. Rice WAS futile to
day.
Many physicians spoken to agreed
that one of the cnsicst ways 10 bring
about n mans death would be- by the
administration of mercury in minute
doses. They also said the symptoms of
Illness noted in Mr.. Rice just previous
to his death would he caused by this
poison. given in this name II would
produce %retching and dysentcry and the
autopsy in all probability would show
traces Of the poison In the stomach and
more in the intestincs, For u week be
fore Mr.. Iilcc's death be- was III. aud he
was led to believe this resulted from his
