DOCTORS
DON I AGREE

Toms River N. j.. Oct. 1.-THE at
torneys defending DR.. Frank Brou
wer on the charge of numbering his
wife. sprung a sensation in court late
this afternoon, when they took up
their side Of the case following the
prosecutions announcement that all
It's direct testimony waI IN. DR.. Mar
shall, the derense's expert, offered the
sensation. BY an experiment perform
ed before the eyes OF the jury and
spectators he showed that strychnine
will not color medicine as witness
had testified one of the ooncoctions
Brouwer had prepared for his wife had
been colored. The defense went fur
ther and outlined the plan it will fol-
low. claiming that Mrs. 'Brouwer was
the victim Of ptomaines.
DR.. Carmichael, of Brouwers coun-
sci, made the opening address to the
jury in which he made this declara-
ton. The states entire case, he said,
was mere suspicion. Gossip and spite
were responsible for bringing Brouwer
to trial. he asserted. The state, just
before 1t rested its case. got in the
evidence held out yesterday from DR..
Washington, in regard to what he
considered caused Mrs. Brouwer's s
death.
DIED OF ARSENICAL POISONING.
In answer to long hypothetical
question. outlining all Mrs. Brower's
, symptoms, he said he believed she had
died of arsenical poisoning. Her con-
vulsions were caused, he declared, by
strychnine., .-sOnA cross-examination
DR.. Washington admitted, he had nev-
er seen q case of arsenicl or strych-
nine poisoning. Missa Stella McClen-
ahan, for whom the state has alleged
Brouwer had such an infatuation, that
he was ready to- put his wife out of
the way, was the first witness called
for the defense. She declared that her
relations with Brouwer had always
been those of nurse and physician, or
governess and employe, and she de-
MED anything in any way improper.
Important testimony in Brouwer's be-
half, tending to clear up the mystery
of the arsenic found in his wife's body,
was given by undertaken E. J. West
hall, who sembalmed Mrs. Brouwer's
body.
UNDERTAKEN THROWS LIGHT ON
&E' ~ MYSTERY.
He testified that while he used an
embalming, fluid containing no arsenic
on Mrs. Brouwer, he sometimes used
two other fluids which do have this
poison, The same tubes used for the
arsenic preparations were used in en-
balming Mrs. Brouwer's body, ne said.
1t is not his custom to clean the in
! struments0 on the outside. Arsenic
accumulates there and supposedly is
washed out by the fluid next used.
Following up this line the defense ad-
vanced through Or. John Marshall, a
theory to show how the ground glass
also got into the viscera Of Mrs. Brou-
wer. New test tubes, he declared, Of
i ten contain small pieces of glass. In
one instance four out Of six tubes he
examined contained the glass particles
+ similar to those found in Mrs. Brou-
wer One contained twenty pieces,
and nineteen Of them stuck to the
tube after 1t had been washed. DR..
Marshall then performed the expert
ment with strychnine.to prove that it
could not have eolored the medicine
ordered by DR.. Brouwer to be given
his wife, as one of the nurse witnesses
had testified.

GET SCHOOL HOUSE
ON REFERENDUM.

A very unusual form Of proceed
ure was taken to decide the question
as to the advisibity of building a new
chapel or a new school for All Saints
church
The church is not near large
enough and there are 500 students
enrolled in the schools. and so the
question was perplexing one.
Father Barrett finally decided on
placing the matter before his congre-
cation and deciding it by a referend-
UNI vote. The result showed the con
gregation to be unanimously in favor
Of building school, and SIS, goo
school house viii be built before
spring. The committee will meet
soon to decide upon the plans and
specifications for the new structure.
1t is also the purpose of the con
cation to build a new church as soon
as the financial condition will war
rant it.
