THE ANALYTICAL CHEMIST.
He Is a Dreaded Witness In Murder
by Poison Gases.

That prisoner who has to face a charge
of murder by poison has no witness
against him who is so much to he dread
ed as the analytical chemist. In many
cases the life or death of the prisoner has
depended upon Il simple experiment in
the laboratory of the chemist. One meth
cd of tracing poison is to transform the
suspected deposits into crystals and sub
NIT them TO the powerful scrutiny of the
microscope. But that test is successful
only where comparatively large doses of
poison have been given. In another form
of test the grave issue depends upon the
color of 4 fragment of copper foil or the
hueS of n liquid in a diminutive crystal
globe. When arsenic is suspected to be
the cause of death. the copper foil expert
ment is tried. If the result is Il dead
black deposit the case looks equally
black for the prisoner.
Strychnine, when administered in Il
most minute form. is detected 10y a subtle
process of chemical concentration by
means of which the suspected fluids are
reduced to Il single drop, which is placed
in tiny glass globe. Into this is then
dropped a minute particle of potash hi
chromate. If strychnine is present, the
result is display of changing colors-
blue, purple, red and. lastly, a rich
mauve tint. These colors are pretty to
look at but they may mean death for the
suspected criminal. When opium is sus-
pcctcd TO be the cause of death. the fluids
are chemically cleansed and then reduced
to a drop or two. Nitric acid is first APP
piled, and if morphia is present it is re-
I,v.f = h.. L..
carminc hue. Then if sulpho molybdic
acid is applied the drops change first to Il
brilliant magenta color and then to a sky
blue.
In spite of all the care and knowledge
devoted to chemical analysis in criminal
cases mistakes sometimes are made. On
one occasion a famous analyst. Professor
Tyler, was nearly the unconscious cause
of sending an innocent man to the gal
lows. The professor, after careful cx-
perimentS, declared that arsenic had been
the cause of the death with which the
prisoner was charged. The prosecution
proved that the prisoner was the only
man who possibly could have administer
ed the poison. The man pleaded his in
nOcenCe in the most frank and pitiable
way, but the evidence was against him.
He was sentenced to death. and the day
of his execution was approaching when
Professor Tyler received letter from the
condemned man setting forth his side of
the case in such a forcibc manner that
the professor was induced to reconsider
his analysis and make another examina-
ton. lie found, to his amazement, that
the arsenic which he had discovered had
