MIR. MEYERS OF TEXAS.

Eiserischimmel was clear and cool and
during a long cross examination he
frequently scored points over Knight
and at the same time avoided unneces-
sary argument. Once Knight handed
him two papers bearing the words
With love to yourself and baby" the
second of which the expert threw on
the floor. after an objection had been
sustained to their introduction. knight
was mad in a second.
Where were you born?" snapped, the
attorney.
In Vienna" was the response.
Did you ever live in Texas?"
II did,
Did you go by the name of Meyers
there?'
Maybe I did: 1 may have
= "That's what L. thought said
Knight. Now, don't throw any more
papers on the fioor.r's
Once Knight went to the blackboard
and wrote san Francisco" in his
usual hand. Then he printed the two
words entirely out of the style he
writes and asked the expert by what
he could identify the authorship of the
two writings, aside from the fact that
he had seen them written by the same
hand. Eisenschimmel grabbed a piece
of chalk and pointed out so many SINH
larities between the two writings that
knight abandoned that line of ques-
tioning. Eisenschimmel managed to re-
Duke Knight for his thunderous tones
without mourning the wrath of the
court and generally made a good wit
resS.
After him came Professor Wolfe,
State Chemist of Delaware, who was
asked by the District Attorney whether
arsenic is ever used for the purpose of
bleaching. Professor Wolfe said he had
never heard of it being put to such a
use. Attorney Knight took the wit
ness into a long examination regard
ing the differences between lump.
crystallized and powdered arsenic, all
OF which are admittedly the same
chemically and which differ only me-
chanically When Professor Wolfe had
finished his testimony the announce
ment was made regarding the two wit
nesses who were i'll and in the discus
sion which ,ensued the sensational de-
veloPments of attempts to tamper with

HANDWRITING EXPERTS.
: Until the springing of the sensation
regarding the jury the proceedings were
as fat as the water in horse trough,
when compared to the proceedings of
lively days gone before. The usual at
tendance was there, but for the most
part it yawned under the testimony of
experts on handwriting. No matter
how convincing they may be, these ex-
perts always fail to touch a chord in
the heart that vibrates to interest.
Even the assaults of Attorney Knight
on the deciDherers of human emotions
as expressed by handwriting failed to
revive the tagging interest.
Daniel I. Ames, who admitted under
cross examination that he had confer
red the title of "professor" on him
self. was questioned by Attorney Nc
Gowan for the defense regarding his
capabilities as handwriting expert.
He admitted he had been mistaken in
his testimony in the Davis will con-
test He said his first testimony was
"a thought" and that he afterward
revised it to the other side, in which
latter case it was IAN opinion" Alto
gether Ames was not nearly so i'm
pressive a witness as Kytka had been
the day before.
AT this juncture the District AttOr-
ney called for John P. Dunning, but
the bawling of the bailiff in the cor
ridors failed to produce the witness.
Later he appeared, but was not called
to the stand.
Carl Eisenschimmel, a handwriting
expert, was next called. He gave it as
his opinion, based on a scientific deduc-
ton of facts, that the handwriting on
the wrapper of the box of poisoned
candy, the note contained in the box
and the anonymous letters received by
Mrs. Dunning were written by the same
hand as that which indited other writ
ing which is admitted to be by Mrs.
Botkin.

WOMEN OF THE UNITED STATES
Regard Peruna Their Shield Against Catarrh, Coughs
Colds, Grip and Catarrhal Diseases.

~ OLDS are considered one of the nee
~ essary ills of life. One is liable to
catch cold both summer and winter.
Very often a cold is starting point
or cause of a lengthy and dangerous ca
tarrhal disease.
Colds are always dangerous and should
never be neglected day.
cold is the beginning of catarrh. 1t
may cause catarrh of any of the internal
organs-the head, throat, lungs, stom-
ach and pelvic organs. A remedy that
will cure a cold. then, would cure all
these direct effects of colds.
Peruna is such a remedy. We have
letters from all over the United States
attesting to this fact. The poor and rich
alike use and recommend it.
Cure a Cold Before it Develops Into
Catarrh.
Miss Helen Sauerbier, ST. Joseph,
Mich, writes:
Last winter 1 caught a sudden cold,
which developed into an unpleasant ca
tarrh of the head and throat deprivfng

turned and within nine days was in my
