HANNA HAS TYPHOID
Blood Test Show. Beyond !. Doubt
That the Ohio Senator is Suffering
With the Dread Dissass-c Critical
Phase Not Reached.

Washington. Feb. 5.-Bulletin.--The
following bulletin was issued by Sen
ator Hanna's physacians, after consul
tation, this morning: Senator Hanna
has typhoid fever. The diagnosis is
confirmed by complete blood examina-
ton. reported this morning by DR..
Behrond. The senator rested fairly well
last night and this morning his tenn
peratnre was 100, pulse So"
President Roosevelt called at the i1o-
tel this morning to inquire after the
senator's condition.
DIR. Behrond Is microscopic expert
of this city. He made two tests. The
first one showed presence OF the ty-
phold baccilus. The second test was
made to confirm the first one. The
physicians will issue no further bull
leins before evening. unless some unex-
pected development occurs. The doc
tors say the case OF typhoid is irreg-
ular.
The question OF sending for the
members OF Hanna's family was dis
cussed with physicians today and 1t
was decided 1t was not necessary at
present to send for them.

great mass of evidence precludsd the
speech, and the eloquence of his adj
dress consisted mostly in his accur-
Iacy and vivid portrayal of the events
that had been shown by the evidence.
Only in the closing portion of his
address was there evidence of the use
of dramatic delivery to influence the
jury. He never wandered into the
field of fancy and imagination, but
from the opening to the closing sem
tences he delved only into the law and
evidence. He closed as follows:
When you write your verdict. write
1T on your bended knee at the foot
of the monument raised over this
woman's grave; and writing 1t, write
in her blood, that Hardin county has
a jury of twelve men who had no feel
ing in the discharge of their duty"
The Instructions.
The instructions of the court were
completed at $40 and covered the
ground usually covered in instructions
in murder cases. except that the court
instructed them they must find either
verdict of guilty in the first degree.

verdict of guilty in the first degree,
fixing the punishment at life imprison-
ment; or a verdict of acquittal. In
other words there must be no COM
promise verdict: that Blydenburgh
was wholly guilty or wholly innocent.
The instructions were very clear az
to the evidence and 1t is believed paved
the way for the early verdict.

Closing Of the Trial.
| The closing hours of the trial were
marked by intense interest and sup
pressed excitement. The court room
was crowded to suffocation. Every
chair was occupied. and the aisles and
entrances were filed with eager
throngs, who stood for hours listen
! ing to Attorney Albrook's review Of the
evidence, anxious to hear his final
words to the jury. 1t was expected he
would make an unusual effort and in
this they were not disappointed. His
analysis OF the testimony of the medi-
cal experts was especially lucid and
convincing. He paid especial attention
| to the testimony of the experts who
! claimed the cause of death could not
be determined by chemical analysis
thirty days after death and then pro-
ceeded to give an opinion based on an
examination of the organs eight
months after death. He further attack
ed the defense's claim that death re-
suited from uremia by stating that
fthe Kidneys did not show any sign Of
degeneration, or disintegration and had
no appearance of disease. No struc-
tural changes in the liver and kid
neys were found, the attorney claim
ed, and as the condition Of the kid
neys were found to be particularly nor
mai, urenlia, which Is but the effect OF
preceding cause could not have ex.
listed.
From this point to the close Mr..
Albrook spoke with much more than
his usual caution. He appeared to
weigh every word in order that his ex-
act ideas might be sent home to the
minds of the jurors. His appearance
indicated physical fatigue from the
eighteen days legal battle. but this had
no discernible effect on the clearness
of his expression. nor upon the logical
arrangement of his argument. The

chase, were led to q remote and un-
frequented part Of the forest, where,
being fatigued and hungry. they sat
down to rest themselves and to dress
their victuais. While they were thus
employed the spirit OF the woods, at
tracted as it is supposed by the un-
usal and savory smell Of the venison,
approached them in the form of a
beautiful female and sented herself
beside them. The youths, awed by the
presence Of SO superior being and
struck with gratitude for the conde-
scension which she had shown them in
becoming their guest, presented to her
In the most respectful manner share

to accept and upon which she regaled
with seeming satisfaction.

male spirit. having thanked them cor.
daily for their attention and informed
them that If they would return to the
same place after the revolution of
twelve moons they would find some
thing which would recompense their
kindness, disappeared from their sight.

volving moons and having returned at
the appointed time, found that upon
