called and stated that he had received from

balmlng fluid could get in the liver ana that
tn em6alning fluid did not contain arsenic.

the caflds face and body, and told at great
length the different injuries found. Con-

black and blue eye. the lobe of the LETT ear
was torn very much. When the brain was ex-
posed TO view large clots of blood were
noticed, occasioned by these wounds. The

would the child's death in his Judgment, have
resulted from these wounds and he said most

evidence which was merely confederation OF
that of DR.. Parsons In his Judgment the
