Chenoweth's mind seemed to run on

that way. ,.y. .zsz. s,..$5.S3. :sl
. Mrs. Chenoweth again took the
stand and said she had taken her son
a glass of cocktails that had been
recommended for him by a gent eman
friend. Found him in commissions and
described his condition. She said, she
was in the habit of giving him egg
noggs; cocktails and such things as a
stimulant as the confinement of the
Jail was wearing on him and breaking
him down in health. She had also
given him quinine at times. "a.
4 MIR. Moore was recalled but Mr..
Stevens objected to cross examining
him until other witnesses had been
heard. Mr.. Townsend said that the
cross examination of Dr.. Moore, had
been postponed at the request of Mr..
Stevens in order to accommodate the
:
medical witnesses and it was now in
order for the cross examining to be
done; that if Mr., Stevens was to have
his own way in these things, or words
to that effect, he, Townsend, would
rest his case MFR. Stevens said he
would like to have one or more wit
nesses heard before DR.. Moore fin
ished. Judge Mckenzie said the fric-
ton between the lawyers was en-
barrassing to the board; that the
board wished to be fair and unbiased
in the case and not prejudiced as the
lawyers apparently seemed to be.
Mr.. Stevens gained his point and
DR.. Roam was called. He said he first
saw Chenoweth last Saturday when he
was called to attend him.. and had
seen him several times since. Last
Saturday defendant was in condition
of syneope when he reached him. with
pulse at, LAO and temperature at 100;
his physical condition otherwise was
good. There we're no indications OF
commissions then or since: He had
evidently been taking some kind of
drugs and his condition was evidently
due to that cause He had noted his
mental condition then and since and
in his opinion defendant was sane.
On cross examination the :. doctor
said he did not know who gave the
drugs, that he found by analysis of a
bottle that he had taken from the
cell, that it contained alcohol and
albumen, but found neither belladona
or chloral. He thought the cause of
the syncope was the drink he had
taken which contained the alcohol.
He was of the impression that other
drugs had been administered the
nature of which he did not know. The
lawyers here got into another tangle
in which the board took a hand finally
resulting in the continuance of the
| witnesses testimony. He. said Mrs.
Chenoweth was administering a drink
l
Jail, that he took the bottle from her
hand and afterwards analysed it find
ing plenty of alcohol therein On re:
cross examination he said he believed
the defendants condition Saturday
was due to. drugs, administered at
previous times, but did not know what
kind of drugs or by whom admins
tered. s-.. ...>-. .s.. ...-... es.,,ss
DR.. Moore was then cross examined
by. MIR. Stevens. He said several
terminal patients had escaped from
the hospital for the insane since he
fhad been in charge, that the asylum
was, not built for, such patients and
