Offence an Disbror Case Uses Pros
ecufion's FITNESS

Riverhead Long Island. Jan. 15.-The defence
in the Disbrow trial was entered to-day. 1t was
brief Mr. Miles opened. and then, in rapid sue
cession. called HIS witnesses. The nature of the
larger part of the testimony was such that
there was little cross -examina ton. Before the
afternoon session had reached the usual hour
for adjournment Mr. Miles announced that his
case was complete. and the judge adjourned
court until morning. when the counsel will sum
up.
The most important testimony Of the case
that of Harold Squires. of Good Ground
who said that on June Q he had a fight with
Foster He had knocked Foster down, but did
not know whether or not he left any mark on
Fosters face or body. The fight took place not
far from the Good Ground depot. June was
the day before Foster drowned.
When court opened. Mr. Miles at once began
his address to ttc jury. He said he would have
rested without calling any witnesses If only an
acquittal had been desired but he wanted to
show the utter impossibiity of the defendant
being guilty of the crime charged against him
in the indictment. He proposed to DO what had
been dcne in no other criminal trial He IN
tended to call witnesses for the State who would
tell the jury the true facts of the case He
dwelt at length on what he called the utter fail
ure of the prosecution TO prove that any crime
had been committed.

MEAT AND SHIRT HID POLICY SLIPS
Inspector Kane Says Place Entered Was

Sudden activity of the police in arresttng leaders
in the policy game in Harlem yesterday may be
taken as another indication of the respect for
the orders of Commissioner Greene. It has been
almost impossible make the police do effective
work in suppressng policy shops, perhaps because
many policemen have been themselves policy play

While the police in the house George Scnlos-

DR.. Bayro7o .SaUes Woman By In
ierting F'o1malin.

Dr Charles c. Barrows of No. West Thirty
sixth-st has evolved a treatment for blood
poisoning that is said to be almost revolutionary.
He has submitted a report to the New-York
Obstetrical Society case of puerperal septi-
cennia which he treated by injecting formalip
into the veins and the patient Is now on the
road to recovery
Dr. Barrowe's experiments were made on a
negro woman in Bellevue Hospital. Her tenn
perature and pulse high culture was
made from small portion of blood drawn from
the woman's arm at a time when her pulse was
16O and her temperature los The blood was
filed with bacteria An injection of five hundred
cubic centimetres of formalin and 40 per cent
solution of formaldehyde gas was introduced di-
rectly into the circulation in the right arm. The
temperature dropped at once, and second cult
ure revealed only a few bacteria.
On the third day a solution of $50 cubic cent?
metres was injected into the woman's left arm,
and third examination showed no bacteria.
The treatment began on December 25 and for
some time her pulse and temperature have been
normal and she is recovering.
Experiments are now being made to discover
if formalin produces any deeterious effects on
the normal blood.
Puerperal blood poisoning. while common, is
not the only disease in which the germ is pres
ent All cases of blood poisoning from any
cause have the deadly germ.

sity Medical College in obstetrics and gyne-
