NEW LONDON, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Dr.
Lilly, who, with Drs. Hildreth and
Briggs Of ST. Louis, has been making a
chemical analysis Of the stomach of
Mrs. Jones Watson Of New London,
testified this morning that he had found
traces of morphine in Mrs. Watson S
stomach. DR.. Lilly's testimony caused
a great sensation.
Almost eQualing it as a startling de-
nouement was the statement Of Drs.
Briggs and Hildreth that Mrs. Watson
did not die from drowning or internal
injuries. The three physicians have
been here since the inquest began max
ing an examination of Mrs. Watson s
body and an analysis of the stomach.
Mrs. Watson's death followed car

unconscious. The body Of Mrs. Watson
was found in the river, Her face was
partly under water.
Dr. Watson became conscious the
next day. He said that while driving
their horse had become frightened at a
piece Of paper on the bridge. The doc
tor said he was rendered unconscious
when thrown from the buggy, as a re-
suit of the horse, shying. He did not
know what happened to his wife, he
said.

DR.. Mary B. Ritter Sustains
Many Serious Injuries
While Driving in Buggy
Berkeley Office San Francisco Call,
2I4s Center Street, Aug. 1S.

Pas Center Street Aug. ID.
DR.. Mary e. Ritter, lecturer on hy-
giene at the University of California,
chairman Of the committee on clubs
for women students and an active
worker in all university affairs. is ly-
ing seriously hurt at the home of rela-
tives in San Jose as the result of a
runaway accident in the Santa Cruz
Mountains, near New Almaden. She
is suffering from a broken collar bone
and two broken ribs and it will be
months before she will be able to re-
sumo her work at the university. Her
condition is such that she cannot be
removed to her home in Berkeley.
The accident of which DIR. Ritter is
the victim occurred yesterday while
she was driving in her carriage in
company with her husband, Professor
William L. Ritter. professor of 20
ologv at the university. They were on
their way to the New Almaden quick
silver mines at the time, intending to
visit and inspect them.
While returning from the mines the
horse attached to their buggy became
unmanag ageable through a disarrange-
ment of the harness. AS they were
driving down hill at the time and had
no brake, Professor Ritter thought il
prudent to get out and hold the bug
gy back until the bottom of the can
yon was reached, leaving his wife to
drive the horse slowly.
The humping of the shafts against
the animal only frightened it the
more, however, and suddenly jumping
to one side in its frenzy it turned the
buggy over an embankment into a
creek below.
In falling DR.. Ritter was thrown so
heavily against the, rocks in the creek
bed that her collar bone and ribs were
broken. The buggy fell upon her, too,
and kept her pinioned until Professor
Ritter went to her rescue.
Neither the horse nor the buggy
was seriously damaged and when with
the help Of some people in the neigh
borhood they were put on the road
again, DR.. Ritter was taken back to
san Jose for treatment. She suffered
intense pain during the long trip. but
did not complain. Upon arriving at
the home Of relatives the broken
bones were set by local physicians.
DR.. Ritter is now resting comfortably.
with no sign of internal complications
to prevent her recovery. She is so Sc
riously hurt, however, that she will he
