grounds on which ! base the motion
are: First-that the corpus deficit has
not been established; and second
that no criminal act has been traced to
defendant and no evidence Of criminal
action on his part has been introduced
The evidence Of the expert witnesses
In this case is not positive that death
was caused by poisoning or by any 9TH
er manner set out In the information
The symptoms before death, as brought
out by the state are those stated in

REVIEWS TESTIMONY.
these doctors have told the court
that two hours before her death she
was operated upon and yet that she
died from the effects Of chlOrofoTm
There is nothing IN this case to show
that this woman might not have come
TO Dr. Paynes office suffering severely
and asked him 10 perform the opera
ton to save her life. That would not
be criminal act for him to perform
such an operation under such circum-
stances. The doctors both say that the
operation was performed two hours be-
fore death. The testimony Is that she
died at about ~ O'Clock and according

have been performed at about 10

Grafton performed elsewhere and then
went TO Dr.. Payne for relief? The
states witness Mrs Bond stated that
she saw Miss Hill at about 1880 o'clock.
so she couldn't have had the operation
performed at DR. Paynes office
THE testimony OF the experts mega
lives the idea that DR.. Payne gave her
the chloroform for the purpose Of per-
forming the operation. There Is moth
Ing in the case whatever to show that
the woman died in any other manner
than that stated by DR. Payne, The
state has not proven even reasonable
theory Of guilt against this defendant.
We contend that the woman might
have died from the effects Of
chloroform taken In hundred
ways. There Is not a word OF evidence
that she might not have been overcome
and staggered into Dr.. Payne's office,
as he states she did for relief. That wo-
man might have done that herself or
she might have had some friend per-
form the operation for her and there Is
no evidence here 10 connect this old
man with the crime. We contend that
there Is no evidence here which negi-
tives the theory Of innocence and we
think the defendant should be dis
charged"

MEAsUREMENTs GIVEN
MOTION ron DisMIMssAL.

Mr. Wanless then moved the court
that the case Of the state vs. pr. T. 5.
Payne be dismissed and that the jury
be instructed to return a verdict OF ac-
qulttal without requiring the defendant
TO introduce any evidence. In arguing
the motion Mr, Wanless said. The
