THE KOCH DEFENSE BEING
PRESENTED TO The COURT
Continued from First Page

his duty to examine smears in all
suspected cases and then send them
over to the university, where more
time had given the baccilli time to
grow.
The witness denied that the state
psychologists mostly judge their
smears by direct examination in
stead of by culture.
Senator Peterson-N Now, doctor,
would the honey and brandy irri-
tate the throat as you said to Mr..
Mcdonald"
DR.. Lancaster" don't know,
never take mine that way. 1t
would depend on the condition of
the throat"
Senator Peterson-"Suppo you
had severe case of laryngial diph-
liberia. Wouldn't you have turgid-
ity of the throat?"
DR.. Lankester-"Well, I don't
know. You might have swollen
tonsils without turgidity."
The witness said that laryngial
diphtheria is as easy to diagnose in
a child as it is difficult in an adult;
declared that membrane Group and
laryngial diphtheria in a child to be
the same thing. He admitted that
swollen tonsils are almost always
painful. He thought that there are
cases of large and painful tonsils
with no membrane present.
Senator Peterson-''Is the mem
brane found upon the larynx formed
and attached the same way as thai
on the pharynx, or is there a cellu
lar difference?"
DR.. Lancaster 20 yes, you can
pull the membrane off the pharyn1
but it leaves a raw and bleeding
surface while it is much easier t.
loosen the membrane on the larnyx.'
He admitted that it was easier tt
swab and get germs from the laryn
gial form than the pharyngial and
that it was worth the trial. Ant
toxin was used in Minnesota very
little before 1898 or 1899. Al
that could be done for diphtheris
before anti toxin was discovered
was to use local applications.
Now" said Senator Peterson

anti-toxin until he suspected diph.
liberia. Diagnosis Of laryngial
diphtheria is sometimes difficult.
The doctor did not think that
the matter Of the number of units
per dose had been settled yet
among physicians. About 10 per
cent. of diphtheric cases in 1908
had been fatal and IS or 80 per
cent. Of the laryngial cases had
been fatal, including cases where
anti-toxin had been administered.
DR.. Marcum told what his initial
dose would on Saturday after.
noon have been under the usual
hypothesis put by Mr.. Mcdonald
and of his subsequent treatment;
that some physicians would give
more, some less. The tendency
as time goes on is to increase the
number of units to the dose of an
ti-toxin. He stated that pain in
the joints, hives and more or less
fever are untoward effects Of ad-
ministering anti-toxin. "The gen
eral rule in the treatment of all
diseases, !" laid down by physicians.
said DR.. Marcum, isis to give the
smallest amount of medicine that
will secure the desired effect"
The doctor told of the securing
of anti toxin from horses. The
danger to the heart, he thought,
was greater in cases of diphtheria
than in any other diseases. He
described a toxin and believed that
the question of the size of doses
should be left to the attending
physician.
Between Senator Peterson and
DR.. Marcum, in the cross-examina-
ton, good account of the man
ner of securing the serum of anti
toxin from horses was brought out.
The doctor had not heard of a
death from tetanus in a case of
diphtheria for five years. He
acknowledged that the breaking
out of rash in patients body to
whom anti toxin had been admin
stored would probably be on account
of the patients system.
| DR.. Marcum admitted that the
opinion of a man who has handled
5000 cases is entitled to great
respect. The witness had usually
started in with an initial dose of
5000 units. He did not think that
large doses should be used where
{ smaller ones had the disired effect,
as it made more for the system to
carry. The odor of diphtheria is
usually present as soon as men,
brane is formed.
Senator How would
you diagnose case of laryngial
diphtheria when no membrane is
present?' -
DR.. Marcum-"By a difficulty of
breathing, some difficulty in swallow

Court then adjourned until 7:45
O'Clock in the evening.
The most of the evening session,
before DR.. Lancaster left to return
to St. Paul on the 1880 train, was
occupied with cross-examination, in
which the counsel for the plaintiff
attempted to corner the witness.
Extracts from a large number of
volumes written by medical authori-
ties were read by Senator Peterson
advocating the administration of
large doses of anti toxin. to be given
early in the disease, and before
any membrane appears. The doctor
and Senator Peterson entered into
minute discussion of the size and
character of diphtheria germs, but
in the end the doctor stuck to his
former declaration that, while anti
toxin is indeed a great remedy, the
number of units used in each dose
is thing to be left to the judg-
ment of the attending physician.
Senator Peterson quoted Nuptill
& Smith as saying that 60 per cent
of the direct examinations of diph-
theric smears are successful and
continuing. said:
Now, doctor, to make this ex-
animation all that is necessary is a
pair of eyes, microscope and a
knowledge of how to stain the germs
is it not?'
DR.. Lankester-"Yes, sir"
In redirect examinations, Mr.
Mcdonald read from several of the
same authorities used by Senate,
Peterson, to the effect that in most
cases the larger doses are not used
and emphasized the fact that in the
cases where the authorities had ad
vised large doses they had stated tt
do so in probable" cases of diph.
liberia.
DR.. Marcum of this city was the
first witness called to the stand this
morning by counsel for the defend
ant.
Practically the same questions
were put to DR.. Marcum by Mr.
Mcdonald in direct examination
and by Senator Peterson in cross
examination as had been asked OIL
DR.. Osborn and DR.. Brown earle,
in the case, with almost the same
same answers.
DR.. Marcum's experience early in
the cases of diphiheria had been
that the temperature was 99H tt
101. One of the first things a
physician looks for in a probable
diphtheria case is swollen submax
Hilary glands. He would not give

Iron Molder Kills His Wife.

Norfolk, Va, May 21.-Eugene
PEBBLES, an iron molder, apparently
insane, to-day killed his young wife
before the terrified gaze of their little
child by striking the woman over the
head with an axe as she sat in her
sisters boarding house on Main street
writing a letter to her mother telling
of her hard lot in life and of her hus-
bands unjustifed jealousy. When
struck with the weapon the woman's s
head was split open, killing her al
most instantly.
PEBBLES was arrested, confessed his
crime and expressed desire to die.
PEBBLES came here a week ago from
Savannah, Ga. His wife who was Miss
Narcissa Brizzel, of Augusta, 27 years
old. came here previously with her z
children. The couple had been mar
ried six years. Peoples had been un-
able to obtain work in Norfolk and
became despondent.
The inquest will be held Monday
and Peoples probably will be exam
ined as to his sanity.

Paving the Preacher.

A preacher in a country commu-
nifty was due his years salary and
there was no money to be had. The
deacons conferred and after little
debate decided that it would be a
good idea for each member of the
church to give one gallon Of wine to
the preacher, it being community
in which grapes were grown plenti-
fully, and consequently all had plenty
of wine. The pastor accepted the
proposition for the wine as his sal
ary, and the following meeting day
was appointed as the time for each
member to bring in a gallon of wine
and empty same in barrel that was
to be prepared for the occasion.
On the morning Of the meeting day,
Deacon who had been look
ing in the CRATE thoughtfully, said to
his wife: "Mary, one gallon of good
spring water wouldn't hurt in fifty
gallon keg of wine, would it," mo,
Silas," replied his wife. The horse
was hitched to the buggy, the jug
placed under the seat and the drive
to church was taken.
Each one coming brought his jug
and went to the barrel in the corner
and poured the contents of it therein.
The pastor preached good sermon
on the joys of giving. After the SER
mon was over, the spigot of the wine
barrel was turned to have taste OF
the wine, and, 10 and behold! moth
ing came out but clear water.
Each fellow had expected the 9TH
er to do the square thing.

Senator Smith Leaves for Home.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Smith, after making little 10-min-
ute speech in the tariff debate as a
sort of introduction in the senate to-
day, left this afternoon for Gaffney,
where he will deliver the annual ad-
dress at Limestone college. He will
go from Gahney to Congaree to de-
liver an address Saturday. His re-
marks in the senate-the first time
he has taken part in the tariff debate
were directed against a proposition
to protect the chestnut bark industry
in western North Carolina.
He stated that he did not see how
anybody who was in favor of pre-
serving the forests in the Appalach-
ians could be in favor of protection
on lumber and on this chestnut bark,
both of which industries cause the
trees to be cut down.

COLOR IN THE LAWS EYES.
A White Man and Negro Cannot Suf
fer Equal Humiliation.

New York, May 21.-A negro and
a white man do not suffer equal hu-
initiation in the eyes of the law for
false arrest, according to the appel
late division of the supreme court,
which today sustained the decree of
the court reducing the amount OF
damages awarded George Griffin, a
Pullman porter from $4,000 to
$4,000.
The negro was arrested on a charge
of stealing a pocket book but the
charge was not sustained and he was
released. He brought suit against
Daniel NJ. Brady, New York man
ufacturer, who caused his arrest.
In his order Justice Degro said:
While in some senses the negro un-
der the law is just as good man as
the President of the United States, 1t
would be bad argument to say he is
Just as good in some respects. Dam
age cases of this kind depend on the

Cyclone Strikes Edgefield.

Edgefeld, May 20.-A cyclone
swept over a portion of the town at
5 o'clock this morning. 1t seems to
have originated within a mile of this
place and came from a southwest d1-
rection, it's width ranging from SO to
200 yards. A number of tenant and
outhouses are total wrecks. Several
occupants of negro residence were
blown from their beds. The court
house was partially unroofed, chin
news of the jail blown off and the
livery stable of Mr.. J. A. Wier par
TALLY demolished. Its path can be
traced by the fallen trees, hundreds
having been blown down. 1t spent
itself about three miles from here
and to that point carried destruc-
ton in it's path. There were no lives
lost, nor personal injuries suffered.
The injury to property in town is es-
timated at $4,000.

NEWS OF THE CONTEST.
The Piano to be Exhibited-A Great
Success.

The Herald's Great Popularity
Contest is just a little over one week
old and a number of young ladies
have entered since the last issue OF
the paper. >.
Our Contest Manager says that In
all his experience in the newspaper
business he has never conducted
contest where the people of com
munity were more loyal to the girls
and it has been demonstrated so far
that the friends of the contestants
are working as well as the contest
ants themselves.
There is just as much satisfaction
in winning out in a contest OF this
kind as the intrinsic value OF the
prizes themselves will afford and 1t
seems as if the friends of each con-
testant are determined that their
favorite shall carry off the biggest
prize in the bunch.
The piano will be on exhibition IN
a couple of weeks at The Herald Of
fee and when the girls see what a
beauty it is they will leave no one
in the county unsolicited.
In a contest of this kind it is the
ones who stick until the last who win
the prizes, not the kind who get dis
couraged. No matter how small your
vote may be at the beginning OF the
contest, the last week may bring you
far in advance of the leaders. There's
no telling what might turn up. So,
don't be a quitter. On the contrary
fight all the harder for the leaders
place. Determination and persistence
will accomplish anything in this
world. Don't let an opportunity
pass to secure a subscription. Make
those who have promised you live up
to their promise. There is plenty OF
field to work in. Get each one OF
YOUR friends to secure you at least
one subscription apiece. They will do
it. Fight and fight hard up to the
last minute and the last hour of the
contest and you'll be rewarded.
On Western newspaper last year,
a little girl entered contest OF this
kind working faithfully up to the
last day. When the votes were pub
lished just before the close of the
contest she was 100000 votes be-
hind the leader. Her friends rallied
to her rescue. They got out on the
streets of the town in their shirt
sleeves and canvassed for her. The
result was that at the close of the
contest she stood about 100000
votes ahead of the leaders.
Be plucky. The world admires a
plucky, gritty man or woman.

CHASE PROVES UNAVAILING.
Negro Who Shot Sheriff Corley Still
at Large.

Lexington, May 20.-Ed Bynum,
the negro who shot Sheriff P. H. Cor
ley yesterday morning, is still at
large. All day yesterday and all last
night armed men were on the hunt,
but without success. All trace Of the
negro seems to have been lost about
three miles from town and all efforts
to find a new track proved futile.
Another crowd started out early this
morning to renew the chase, but If
the negro has been caught the news
of his capture has not reached here.
The direction in which he was going
indicates that he was making his
way toward Congaree creek. 1t is
said that at one time Bynum worked
on a turpentine farm in the lower
part of the county and it is the sup
position that he is now hiding in his
old haunts.
Messages have been sent to all OF
the towns along the railroads to be
on the lookout, and unless he made
good his escape last night, it is
thought that the fugitive will be
heard from within the next day or
two. Rains have fallen all over the
county during last night and to-day,
which will make it possible to trail
the man down with dogs, once he is
routed again.
Bynum is a bright mulatto, al
most white, with thin black mus
tach; straight, dark hair; about
five feet and eight inches tall;
weight $50 to 160 pounds; wears
about number seven shoe; freckled
face; legs bowed and walks pigeon
toed. He is said to be desperate
character and is thought to have a
pistol, and it is not likely that he
will submit to arrest without a
fight.
All during to-day crowds have
come to town from different sections
of the county, all anxious to help
bring the sheriff's would-be slayer to
justice.
Sheriff Corley is resting quietly at
his home and is doing as well as
could be expected, considering the
seriousness of his wounds. More
than 100 shot entered his right
hand, and the wound is causing a
great deal of pain. The wound in
the neck is considered the most dan
gerous, several shot having entered
near the large artery. The wound in
the breast is not considered danger
Gus. The outcome of the injuries,
however, cannot be determined at
this time, but the attending physi-
clan, DR.. Wingard, does not appre-
hend any danger unless blood pOiS-
on should set in.
