IDENTIFIED BY HER EYES.

Peterson further testified that he iden
tilted Mrs. Sutton as the woman who pre-
sented the forged prescription on account
of the peculiar look in her eyes and by
the dark circles under her eyes"
On his nrevious examination Peterson
was unable to give any evidence to show
that he had noted anything peculiar about
the person who had presented the forged
prescription He was unable to say at
that time If the person had worn hat
or a coat, or veil, or any other particular
garments
Attorney Drury, for the defense. sub
iected Peterson to a rigid cross-examina-
ton He forced the witness to admit that
he had not previously testified to any
peculiar traits of the woman who pre-
sented the forged prescription because "he
had forgotten TO do 50. and he had not
been asked to testify on that particular
line"
Attorney Drury also forced the drug
clerk to admit that prescriptions were left
on q file for one or two weeks before
they were pasted in the prescription book.
and the witness further admitted that

prescriptions were not always numbered
consecutively and dated at the time they
were presented for filling, but that this
was done later on.
Police officer Tom Coleman testified to
finding a note book at the Bowers home.

evidence that the forged prescription was
written on a page torn from this note

was the same as that of a note written
by Mrs. Bowers to her brother-in-law,

husband by the administration
"a IN Of arsenic. was held for trial in
the Superior Court by Police
Judge Cabaniss yesterday. Her sister.
Mrs. Zylpha c. Sutton, who was accused
by the prosecution of having purchased
the deadly drug that caused the death of
Bowers was dismissed from custody.
The hearing of testimony yesterday ac-
cupied two sessions and elaborate argu-
ments were made for the prosecution and
the defense.
The evidence offered by the prosecution
consisted Of the testimony of Robert Kav-
anaugh. paying teller Of the Hibernia
Savings and Loan Society, and a number
OF witnesses who testified to seeing Mrs.
Martha E. Bowers and Patrick Lervey
together on many occasions.
Kavanaugh, the bank clerk. testified
that Martin L. Bowers and his wife,
Martha E. Bowers, had a joint account
in the bank in which he was employed.
He testified that on August q, last, Mrs.
Bowers drew from the bank the sum of
s26OS. The prosecution sought to show by
this witness that Mrs. Bowers had a
financial motive in causing the death of
her husband, but the defense brought out
in cross-examination that in joint bank
account either party had a perfect right
10 draw the money from the bank at any
time. The defense was prepared to show
that Mrs. Bowers drew the money from
the bank because her brother-in-law,
Harry Bowers, sought to secure an in
junction to prevent her from touching the
money on deposit
CONSORTED WITH LERVEY.
The prosecution then presented the tes-
timony of a number of saloon keepers to
prove that Mrs. Martha E. Bowers was in
the habit of drinking with Patrick Der-
Vey during the five months previous to
the death Of Martin L. Bowers. The de-
fense objected to the introduction Of this
line Of evidence as being immaterial to
the charge of murder, but Judge Cabaniss
allowed il to be introduced subject to a
general objection on the part of the de-
fensc. The testimony of the saloon keep
ers was introduced by the prosecution in
order 10 carry out the theory that init
mate relations had existed between Pat
rick Lervey and Mrs. Bowers, thus fur
Rishing motive for the alleged murder
OF Bowers by his wife.
J. c. Peterson. the drug clerk at the
store at Fifth and Clementina streets,
who previously testified TO having sold an
ounce of arsenic on a forged prescription
bearing the signature DIR. Mclaughlin,
and who claimed that the forged pre-
scTiption had been presented TO him by
Mrs. Sutton, the sister of Mrs. Bowers,
was recalled by the prosecution.
Peterson testified that since he was last
examined he had refreshed his memory
by consulting the prescription book of the
drug store in which he was employed.
He testified that the forged prescription
for the arsenic was presented and filed
by him on August 20, last, after p. m.

DOCTRINE OF THE SOUL
IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Attitude of the Body Set Forth in
Two Addresses.

Soul and Body was the subject of
the sermon at the two Christian Science
services yesterday.
According TO Christian Science. the
word soul in the Bible has two diff
ferent meanings--oHe means God and
the other means sense. God, good,
divine mind is the one spirit or soul,
and man. the real, spiritual man, In
GLIDING the universe, Is the expression
or embodiment OF soul Thus, God~and
man constitute the harmony and com
pleteness Of being, all there is. and
this Is perfect.
On the other hand. the word soul"
means sense in the passage as 1.-The
soul that sinneth shall die" meaning a
material sense sinrtng and will. must
be destroyed But the real man will
be purged of his sins and saved with
an everlasting salvation. and IL is be-
neved that Christian Science teaches
how this is TO be done.
BY understanding this principle of
goodness, God, and applying ii in our
daily lives, by becoming honest just
meek, and pure, and living the life
Christ would have us live. is the rule
mastered. and mans salvation from
the dismal beliefs of sin. sickness. and
death attained.

should be equal They are, of course,
equal before the law, in the sense that
Thomas Jefferson intended, but in no
