blood upon it. Did the state show by
tests that there was blood upon it?
1t was left for us to do that. Science
can detect strychnia, and can detect
blood a hundred years old. 1t can find
the blood on that map until the map
has rotted into dust, and then can lind
it in the dust If the doctors who said
there was no blood on the post, did not
tell the truth, where is the eminent
Carel, to prove that? So another the
orv is shattered.
We are told that the man put his
hands on various parts of the wood
work, wiped them on the handkerchief,
and grasped a wire to get out. Then,
after running two-thirds Of mile in a
I37 degree temperature, there wouldn't
be blood enough left on the hands to
make a spot. s-,... .---
The Poison Proposition.
If there is anything to the poison
proposition, / want to know it. There
are assumptions, and that is all. If
Strickler lost any poison, Koch could
have gotten it. That is all there is to
that. But he did not. The sulphate of
strvchnia and tablets contains ten per
cent of strychnia and ninety per cent
of harmless substance. They say that
the greater part of the contents of the
bottle went into the waste basket. Why
did they not have the court appoint an
examiner to analyze the balance? There
were two little granules in the bottle.
When Prof Carel got the bottle, there
were no granules in it, but little pow
ldered substance, about as much as a
pin head. Prof. Carel examined fol
strychnia and found some, but not fol-
sui phate of strychnia. There may have
been sulphate of strychnine. DR.. Strick.
Ter said he lost 90 to l2O tablets. II
all had been ground up and put into the
bottle there would have been less thar
,
the conclusion that it was not Strick
lcr's tablets that were used. It would
, take 800 to l,GO0 tablets to have filled
the bottle, and that would have givel
] ten per cent strychnine. If Dr. Kocl
stole DR.. Stricklers tablets he mus
, have stolen some 1900 other tablets
At the same time he. had enough az
senic in his office to kill forty men.
