EXPERT EXHIBITS POISON

c, Louis. May 30.-William J. Er. der thought 1t queer that his bride rould not eat the kind of food he ate, oocording to the testimony of cousin fin Judge Grimm's court, in the trial of Mrs Dora F. Doxey on a charge of slowly poisoning Erder, her bigamous husband, with arsenic in his food.
 The cousin was Mrs. Frances Con nollv Grote of Mount Pleasant, St. Louis county. Erder and his bride visited her mothers home July 4, six days before his death. She testified that he said to her, Dora never eats what eat-isn't it odd?"
 Mrs. Grote is daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Connolly, a sister of Erder S mother. She said Erder took his bride to their home and remained for the evening meal on the Sunday in question.
 Was there any conversation about what this defendant ate during the meal?" was asked
 Former Judge Bishop at once ob- jected, on the ground that even If the conversation was in Mrs. Doxey's presence it was incompetent as testi- mony, but it was shown that Mrs, DOxey took part in 1t, and Judge Grimm admitted it.

 Mrs. Grote said Mrs. Doxey made some laughing rejoinder, and no more was thought of the conversation until after Erders death. On that day he seemed in perfect health she said, and exhibited a lively interest in all that was said and done.
 There was touching scene in the htte witness room where Mrs. Doxey was waiting. h.rs. Grace Latham ot Omaha, Neb., her youngest sister, saw her there for the first time in five years.
