taken up by DR.. c. P. Brown and DR..
E. B. Rogers, was extremely technical
and given over to medical phraseology.
DR.. Brown continued on the stand to-
day and was thoroughly cross -exam-
ined. He said:
The length of time the arsenic was
in the body of Lily Orner is profile
matte. Hers was case of acute and
not chronic poisoning. Arsenic from
wall paper would have had no effect
for many weeks. 1 have never heard of
arsenic poisoning from eating candy
The symptoms of ptomaine poisoning
are similar to those of arsenic poison
ing but the two can be easily dis
tinguished. 1 have never heard OF ar
senic poisoning as the result of drink
ing beer, though I believe very small
quantities were at one time used as
preservative."

It was at this point that the stomach
Of the dead girl was shown to the jury
and certain jars brought forward. Glass
slides upon which tests had been made
were next shown to the jury. All of
the various steps in this qualitative an
alysis were detailed to the jurors and
finally an improvised laboratory was
set I'D and certain sure tests made be-
fore the eyes Of jurors. When this had
been done, over occasional objections
on the part of the defence. each step
in the quantitative analysis was de-
tailed to show the amount Of arsenic
found in the dead girls body The
tests showed the poison present in
large quantities. Dr. Rogers declared
that one grain and tenth was suffi-
cient to cause death in a child and that
three grains was certain death to an
adult. Court adjourned until o'clock.
