Professor Wilthaus. an analytic chemist of

the bottle found near the girls body was
choral hydrate, and that he had found five
grains of the drug in the dead girls stom-
ach.
DR.. Mcbride, the county physician, testi-
fled that choral caused the girls death.
William A. Death one of the accused,
swore that McAlister put knockout drops
or choral in the girls wine glass three
times, and related the particulars OF the
assault and the final disposition Of the
body.
The hackman told in detail the particulars
o. the assault.
The attorneys for the defense entered a
general and specific denial of all accusa-
tons, and attacked the moral character Of
the dead girl.
McAlister and Campbell declared thas
they acted only on a generous impulse
when they took the girl cut of the saloon
to the hack. They had thought drive i'm
the fresh air would do her good, and had
taken her across the river out into the
country. They had lifted the girl out Of
the hack because she was sick, ana they
had conducted themselves like humanitar-
ians in their efforts to bring her back to
her senses.
