EVENING SESSION.

The Stanford inquest was resumed
at a quarter past eight last night The
hour had been set for sever-thirty, but
many OF the jury and witnesses had not
finished their dinner at that hour. After
the roll had been called, Chemist Shorey
who was testifying when the inquest
adjourned, again took the stand and
made statement explaining his pre-
vious testimony. saying that he had
heard during the recess that some OF
the Jury did not fully understand his
testimony He stated that no definite
residue had been obtained that could be
weighed as stryychnine- The test show
ed the color produced bv the poison,
but the particle OF strychuine, if such It
was. was so minute that It could be
neither seen nor weighed. In tests such
as this there was always some loss; this
was inevitable in reducing four or FIVE
FIVE pounds of organic matter TO a
grain. Mr. Shorev said that he would
not state that there was strychnine in
the stomach, but would state that the
color reaction observed IS not known
to be caused By any other substance
than strvchrlire

ton OF the contents OF the intestine We
were unable TO separate any poisonous
substance. bur WE OBTAINED A
COLOR REACTION WHICH. UN-
DER PROPER PRECAUTIONS IS
A CHARACTERISTIC OF STRYCH-
NINE
We next combined all the remaining
organs. includin~ the liver which we
had not examined before, and the ex-
traction gave us the same result as we
found in the intestinal fuid-that IS, we
obtained d color reaction which. as l
have said. is indicative OF strychnine.
In making these tests we took every
precauuion.
The color reaction spoken OF, SO tar
as I know. IS not given by any other
BODY than strychnine We were unable
to locate the strvchnine I am certain
the color test produced the color re-
action for strychnine.
What vas the reason why the
strycflnine could not be separated
The amount present Is so small that
it would be distributed over the entire
BODY and would not be in any great
quantity IN the organs tested i no

at the autopsy. There was no food in
it that could be identified There were

made an examination of all the other
articles handed US, but found no indica-
tons OF strychnine in any OF them"

color reaction test than in the capsules :"
1t was very much smaller quantity. /

strychnine was found in the stomach.
Witness was aware of cases where
strychnine was known to have been
