FIND EVIDENCE
IN VANCE CASE
Transcript Supposed to Have
Been Lost, Discovered in
Clerks Office.
EXPERT TESTIMONY Is
GIVEN BY PHYSICIANS
DR.. A. A. Kerr Confident That
Poison Was Cause Of WO-
mans Death.

In the Thomas Vance wife murder
hearing in District Judge Lewis's court
Wednesday expert testimony was given
by DR.. w. r, Calderwood, who, as coun-
ty physician, directed the autopsy on
Mrs. Vance.
The most interesting incident of the
third dav OF the taking of evidence was
the recovery of the original Of the tran
script of the testimony of Mrs. Cora E.
Rehpenninp. now in Oregon. given at
the preliminary bearing. The original
was found IN the files in the county
clerks office. 1t was feared 1T had
been lost.
Mrs. Rehpenning's testimony was to
the effect that on November %, 1907,
she was asked by Mrs. Vance to call
threatening to kill her.
Dr. A. A. Kerr, the physician who at
tended Mrs, Vance, occupied the wit
ness stand large part of Wednesday,
Believes She Was Poisoned.
Dr. Kerr gave it as his opinion that
death was owing to mercurial poison
ing. He also testified as to bruises
found upon Mrs, Vance's body. None
of the witnesses has made plain the
connection between these bruises and
the death of Mrs. Vance. Just how much
lorce thaC caused the bruises conCrlDuC-
ed to the woman s death, however, none
OF the witnesses so far has determined
The defense, by cross examination,
sought TO slow that the symptoms of
mercural poisoning observed by DR..
Kerr might have been owing to num-
Der of other causes and the physician
admitted that the symptoms might have
resulted from something other than mer-
curial poisoning, but held to the opinion
that mercurial poisoning was the cause
of death,
DR.. Calderwood corroborated DR.. Kerr
TO a large extent
At the rate the case is progressing
it will lake the rest Of this week to fin
ish the testimony.
An interesting ruling by Judge Lewis
Wednesday was that excerpts from med
ical journals can not be read before
Jury and commented on. The portion
of the work desired may be read to the
witness, Judge Lewis held, but not to
the whole jury. .he ruling was made
when the defense desired to ask DR..
Kerr a question based upon excerpts
from medical works. The work then
was handed to DR.. Kerr for silent read
ing
