there was q quantity Of carbOllc acid,
OF which about 80 grains was recovered.
Mr. Harms said that that part OF the

the stomach were largely beer, al
though there were traces OF boiled beef
and chicken. Part Of the stomach was
In q congested state, He said In tac-
ing the acid he made eight different
tests. 1t was determined that the acid
was taken In a diluted state, most prob
ably IN beer, and that one spoonful
could be taken In a glass OF beer and
that tho beer would mask the taste Of
the acid and also the Odor. He said
there was also alcohol IN the stomach
which perhaps accounts for the fact
that Litteheld lived so long after taxi

antidote TO the acid.
In summing up his report, Mr. Harms
said that Littledeld came 10 his death
by carbOlIc acid poisoning, taken either
accidentally or with suicidal intent. He
takes no stock In the theory that some
one gave him the acid In the manner
described, for the reason that not one
person ina hundred would suspect that
the acid would have that peculiar ef-
