Browning Will Invalidate
Adoption Of Pretty
Mary Louise.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Cinderella's
castle crumbled with crash tonight,
Edward W. Browning, millionaire
real estate operator, announced he
would discontinue his efforts to keep
the demure and fetching Mary Louise
Spas, 81, as his adopted daughter.
The announcement followed a two
hours conference in the office of Dis
trict Attorney Richard S. Newcombe.
Browning said he was finally con-

she insisted.
MARY is SAD.
Settlement of the age question de-
termined his course, the tall gray
haired millionaire asserted.
Sadly, and restraining her tears,
Mary has began making preparations
to leave her sumptuous apartments in
Kew Gardens Inn, which she occupied
since she left her home last Tues
day. Browning was a summer resi-.
dent at the inn.
Later, Mary, accompanied By
Browning, Miss Virginia Martin, re-

.INyALIDATE ADOPTION.

As Browning escorted Mary to the
waiting car, he exclaimed:
"Oh, I'm sorry that all this hap
pened, and Mary is all broken up
about it." ;,
Mary's destination, Browning said,
was the Brooklyn home of Bert II.
Dunnett, Browning's secretary. There
she will remain until Tuesday, when it
is expected, the adoption will be in

Browning looked tired and Mary
seemed sad as they sat in the ma

together. Asked whether he. would

the youthful chemist, was consider
ably less severe than on Tuesday
afternoon when he and the re-
mainder Of the defense counsel tried
to stampede the witness.
Professor H~arger-is that your
title?"
I'm an assistant professor, SIR
| Harger corrected him.
Inman, now having become
somewhat familiar with the terms
common to chemistry and medi-
cine, tried DIR. Harger out to de-
terInine his knowledge of the sub
ject, and the explanations became
q little too profound for the at

"What is the antidote for

Careful experiments have shown
there Is no antidote for bichlOride

drug harmless"
SIN what way does the poison
attack the kidneys?"
There are several theories re
garding the exact mechanical proc
eSs."
1.-THE medical world, then, has
never been able to figure out just
how mercury attacks the body It's

"WeIl, some them" Inman in

Harger's reply on this subject was
another victory for the State because
it bore out theories advanced by DR..
Virgil H. Moon, professor Of pathoi-
ogy at the +. U. school of medicine,
and DR.. J. A. Macdonald, both Of
whom have appeared as State wit
nesses. In addition 1t proved Pro
lessor Harger's familiarity with his
subject, thus defeating the d~efensc's
move to- show him up as an incom'
petent witness.
Harger was excused only after
three or four false starts, either Cox
or Inman calling him back to the

nine, he said, later is eliminated by
the kidneys.
1--WE are usually of the opinion
that when the creatinine exceeds six
milligrams the case will be fatal"
From an examination of March 23
DR.. Warvel said he found an even
higher content OF creatinine and a
greater retention of poisonous ele.
ments in the blood.
Corpuscles Counted
On April 2. the day prior TO the
blood TRANSMISSION, he said he found
that the red corpuscles had de-
creased from 100000 to 1,1S3,OOO,
and noted only a slight increase In
the white corpuscles.
Asked as to her condition on April
6, he said:
81 thought she would recover
from the nephritis-the creatinine,
for the first time in my experience
had fallen from far above six to
about normal. Other doctors,
however, have observed the e
THINE rise as high as twelve, re-
turn to normal, and the patient
recovered"
On April 8, he said he noted a
general improvement in her condi-
ton, but evidences that the infec-
ton had increased. On April 10, he
tested two other persons to deter
mine whether their blood was COM
patible with that of the patient for
the purpose of performing a second
TRANSMISSION.
A marked increase in the albumen
found in the urine was noted, April
II.
"She had a great many pus cells
on this date.
Her urine was loaded with pus
on the thirteenth, the day prior to
her DEATH" DIR. Warvel said.
Cox then recited his hypothetical
question TO DIR. Warvel, in which
he reiterated the salient details of
the dying statement.
Gosh, Ennui
Cox took some ten or fifteen min
utes to read the question, during
which time the jury registered ennui.
Juror No. 3 took a nap. 1t was old
stuff to the jury. which had heard
1t on two or three other occasions.
The question follows the dying state
ment, which has also been read
twice, and it duplicates DR.. Kings
bury's testimony also.
Christian objected at great length,
but was o%verruled by Judge Sparks.
When the witness was finally al
lowed to answer, he said:
"The cause of her death was
some secondary infection, super
imposed upon the neDhritis."
The doctor was then cross-exam-
ined by Inman. who has spent much
time of recent nights studying medi-
cine.

an opinion that tablets from eithe.

with equal neatness, irregardless o

formation both attorneys finally al
lowed him to go.
Last Question
Inman's last question, was:
Whats your fee in this case, doc
| tor?"
II do not know replied the wit
ness YEARLY, as he had been sub
jected to a grilling cross-examina
ton.
The crowd was not SO large al
though the courtroom was COM
fOrtably filed. The expert medical
testimony and opinion and the
multitude of involved medical
terms are not so interesting TO
spectators, many of whom went to
sleep Tuesday afternoon. About
fOur-fifths of the crowds who have
been in attendance are girls and
women. A monster throng is ex-
pected If it is announced that Ste
phenson will take the stand, as he
is regarded in NobIesvilIe as a
man of mystery.
DIR. Warvel Followed
What is the usual minimum
fatal dose?" he was asked by Cox.
Several cases have been re
ported as low as five grains"
What is the average fatal dose?'

mortality varies between six anC

DR. Warvel said that the period
of fatality ranged from fOrty-eight
hours minimum to ten or twelve
days. and declared that the
patients chances for recovery are
exceedingly good If he lives be-
yond the twenty-fifth day, after
taking the poison.

Then all those quotations counsel

Il don't think it did," said the
doctor, as Inlnan disparaged Cox's
question by his clever interrogation
of the doctor.
The defense attorney pulled out
his chest and strutted up and
down in front of the july in POM
pOus style, in exaggerated mock
cry Of Judge COx's style. Again
the spectators were greatly en-
tertained.
DIR. Harger was severely cross
examined when he took the stand
shortly after court opened.
The sum of his testimony was that
Madge's kidneys, which he examined
after her death, contained less BIZ
chloride Of mercury than almost any
others he had ever examined Of per-
sons who had died of that poison. I
The State introduced this testi-
mOny to support its contention
that the girl died of an infected
wound and not of bichl0ride of
mercury.
DIR. Harger sprang a sensation
when he declared there was no
antidOte for bichloride of mercury
poisoning.
Careful experiments have
shown there is no antidOte that
will render the drug harmless" he
declared.
Harger's statement was regarded
as q heavy blow to the defense which
has sought to show that as soon as
the defendants discovered Miss Ober-
h~oltzer's plight that they admin
istered milk as an antidote. DIR.
Harger's declaration, coming as it
did from a recognized authority, was
regarded as a triumph for the prose
cution.

On cross-examination, Inman
spent a considerable time brushing
up on some of the new theories DR..
Warvel had brought into his testi-
mony. Inman drew from him a
statement that the same deadly af-
feet of bichloride of mercury poison
ing can be accomplished by intro
ducing the mercury in any Of the
body cavities.

him.

Laugh at Answers
The defense's plan to befuddle the
witness became apparent when the
young scientist appeared on the
stand as a States witness. Defense
attorneys made it a point to laugh
heartily al every answer he made.
After each question had been put
by the State, Christian would phrase
a long objection attacking the wit
nesses competence to testify, and
after every answer another motion
to strike out the testimony would be
offered. Judge Sparks overruled
them all, retaining his composure in
spite of the fact that the strategy
was essayed secondarily to harass
him.

evidence for rebuttal it is said, If
