OF FINDING POISON

Week-Not Known Whether Re
spondents Will Testify.
Especial to The Reformer.)

kEENE, n. H., June u.
The greater part of the time yesterday
in the trial of Felix Buchanowski and Mrs.
Dominica Salewiski for the murder of
Frank Salewiski, was taken up with ex-
pert testimony by members of the medi-
cal profession Several of the doctors
who had been called the previous day
were recalled State Chemist Charles
Howard of Concord testified that he found
evidences of arsenic in the organs of
Salewiski which were sent to him for
analysis
DR. Lobdell Of Winchester said he at
tended Salewiski at his home in Win
chester, but did not diagnose the case as
one Of arsenical poisoning and in his be
lief the victim did not die from such poi
soning. He said, as did the other doctors
who testified yesterday, that portions OF
the arsenic taken into the system would
be thrown off by vomiting and in other
ways. DIR. Lobdell said he treated the
lthree-year-old daughter of the Salewiskis
on his second visit to the house. He
thought that the Salewiskis were of the
better class Of Polish families
DR.. Basch of Ashuelot was a consulting
physician at the Salewiski home. He said
the patient displayed much tenderness al
various points in the system, a condition
common in patient suffering with an If
rltant poisoning.
DR. Hayiland, DIR. LaLibertie and DIR
| Dinsmoor We're recalled by the state t,
| testify that wrist and ankle drop wer,
recognized symptoms of arsenical poison
ing. On cross examination they said tina
wrist and ankle drop, such as Salewisl
/ had before his death, often We're caused
| by alcoholism
DIR. Charles Duncan, the state patholo
gist, of Concord, said there were unmis
taxable signs Of arsenic in the organs 9
Salewiski. He said that the longer tn
patient lived the less would be the amour
OF arsenic found in the organs
| DR.. Charles Howard, state chemist, stat
led that he found definite traces Of arseni
lin Salewiski's organs The urine wa
found to contain 800 times as much al
Isenic as has ever been known to exist il
that of person who has not taken an,
into his system, other than that whic
the body contains.
! The case will continue into next week
1t is not known whether either of th
respondents viii testify.

Supreme Court Rules That Judge Has
Right to Consult Jury.

ALBANY, n. Y, June 10. = The
court of appeals yesterday upheld the
order of Supreme Court Justice Peter
A. Hendrick directing a jury trial to
test the sanity of Harry X. Thaw. The
court of appeals was unanimous in its
decision which held that Justice Hend-
rick did not attempt to evade any re
sponsibility in directing a jury trial,
but merely wished to obtain the adj
vice of jury. The decision holds
that Thaw has no mandatory right to
jury trial, but that it was in the
discretion of the trial judge to decide
whether or not such request should
be granted.
