The hearing of evidence for the defense
in the coca-cola case was resumed in the
federal court today. and DR.. r. A Wit
thaus, of New York. testified that he
had never heard Of a death resulting from
caffeine. Effects OF caffeine when admin

conclusive result as to its effects on man.
Caffeine is not. he declared. a habit
forming drug.
He admitted authorship OF a book on
taxicology containing a table reporting Is
cases of caffeine poison in nine years.

Colbert. a German scientist
DR.. II. c. Wood, Jr.. of Philadelphia,

to ascertain the effects of caffeine on the
muscles. He came to the conclusion that
caffeine caused an increase OF the action
without increasing the amount of energy
consumed. The cross-examination devel-
oped nothing new.
DIR. Harry o. Hollinsworth, professor
Of psychology in the University of Chi
cago, testified that he had made exper-
iments TO determine the effects of caf-
feline and coca-cola syrup on the mind.
Ten men and six women were used. one
squad being given caffeine in various
forms while the control squad was
given sugar of milk he saw no de-
pressing effects from the caffeine
There was no reaction below normal, in
dicating according to the witness opin-
ion that no reverse energy was consum-
ed by the caffeine.
The cross-examination brought forth
nothing material

ished As TO the 213 cases OF tea poi
soning reported by Billiard. the witness
gave IL as his opinion that these cases
were in the main poisoned from tannin

A RHAPSODICAL LETTER.

The romance which Mr.. Thayer spoiled
after il had been a topic for sentimental
writer's on music for more than quarter
az century deals with the subject or
Beethoven's love for a woman 10 whom he
addressed a rhapsodical epistle which was
found after his death i'm a hidden drawer,
receptacle or compartment in cabinet or
clothes press in the composers lodgings.
The letter gave no sign as to whom 1t had
been addressed, was undated as TO year,
and its existence was unknown 10 even the
most intimate friends of Beethoven until
search made for some bank shares re-
yeaed IT, In 1875 Beethoven told his fac
totum SCHNEIDER. who afterward became
his biographer. that the Countess Gallen-
berg had once been in love with him.
Now. the countess before her marriage in
1919 had been the Countess Giulietta, or
Julia. Guicciardi. who when she was six
teen or seventeen years old had been a
pupil Il the great master and TO whom
he had dedicated the pianoforte sonata in
C-sharp minor which is known the world
over as the Moonlight" sonata. Beethoven
had nothing 10 do with that appelation.
but the feeling OF Chastened sorrow and
impassioned lamentatiOn in its first move
rent appealed TO sentmentalists. and when
SCHNEIDER stated in the first edition Of his
biography $3.50 that the love letter had
been sent 10 the Countess GuiCciardi from
watering place i'm Hungary in 1906 the
world promptly saw a great apposteness
between letter sonata and dedication, and
