from him, poured about a third of
the water in a spitoon and demanded
more vigorous action, with which
the doctor complied. The tablets
then rapidly disappeared, while the
jurors watched interestedly.
1T took just a few seconds now,
didn't it, doctor?" said Inman, tri-
Gmphantly.
II think the jury is supposed to
be the judge of how long it took"
replied the doctor.
Had Flu
Inman then asked Moon what the
effect of influenza would be on the
lungs and drew from him that the
fact that Madge had had the flu
some three weeks before might have
caused the abscess.
What is the effect of flu on the
lungs, doctor?"
well, it would produce a rather
profuse interstitial Inflammation of
the lungs"
1T might produce pneumonia"
YES"
"Abcess?"
VERY seldom"
"Sometimes?"

DIR. Moon said that milk or the
white Of eggs are the best things
that can be given in case Of such
poisoning, to be followed by evacua-
ton of the stomach. He insisted
they are not an antidote in techni-
cal sense, but serve to delay the
action until the poison can be re-
moved. States testimony shows
that Stephenson forced Madge to
drink a bottle of milk as soon as he
found she had taken poison.
DIR. Moon was grilled by the de-
Tense in an effort to discount the
professional standing Of DR.. John
X. Kingsbury, Madge's attending
physician, and to weaken the legal
status Of her dying statement.
Does Influenza affect the kid
neys?" Inman asked DR.. Moon.
mot directly?"
Indirectly"
Eyes"
Flu will also affect the liver?'
yes"
Does it affect the hearth"
Yes"
Inman and DIR. Moon buried them
selves in a maze of sesquipedalian |
medical terms, which no one but the |
doctor understood.
The howl Of a baby broke the |
stiffness of the room and Judge
Sparks remarked, 81 like children |
awfully well, but when they cry,
they should be taken from the room. |
think that last term the doctor
used must have frightened the
child" A hearty laugh ensued.
IF you Dissolve mercuric chloride |
in water in sufficient concentration
and apply it to the flesh, mercuric
poisoning will result, will it not?" In
man asked DR.. Moon.
Eyes, If sufficiently concentrated.
Then, if the mercury is taken in
ternally, and is sufficiently con-
centrated, if it is vomited, it will
burn the flesh where it falls, will it
not?"
1.-The momentary application would
not be sufficient to produce LESSONS,
l believe"
Attacks Kingsbury
At this point, Inman fixed him
self to make a thrust at DR.. Kings
bury's professional standing for the
purpose of stultfying Madge Ober-
holtzer's dying statement. Inman
drew from DR.. Moon an admission
that the process of repair in her
kidneys probably had begun about
March %, eleven days after she took
the deadly poison. and the exact date
on which she signed the dying
declaration.
you would not expect, then,
that her doctor on March 20, would
advise her that all hope of life
was gomez" Inman asked DIR.
Moon.
81 can't tell you that. l was
not her clinician. was called into
the case after her death. l think
you're taking too many con-
illusions from my answers"
I'll ask you If it isn't a fact that
DR.. Kingsbury maintained from the
noon hour on March II, until the
time of her death that recovery was
beyond all hope"
State Objects
Judge Sparks sustained a fierce
from the State.
Inman then procured DIR. Moons
testimony at the bail hearing last
June as his next weapon. Inman
read him a series of questions and
answers put to DR.. Moon at that
time, which in their bald language
somewhat conflicted with his d.
rect testimony Monday.
DIR. Moon confirmed each and
every answer he made at the bail
ify the discrepancies but the de-
Tense smothered him out with tech
meal objections.
Nov you testified before the
coroner, too. did you not?" Inman
asked.
Il did not" Dr. Mon replied lacn-
ically
Inman looked surprised.
"Oh, you just made a report to
him?"
That's it,"
