A an attempted abortion, 1esulting in the death of the girl and the four months male Joetus. To establish this contention several witnesses have been called to show that the girl was en seint and that Irvin had spoken of her condition to them. As early as last November, while here attending court, he “had told witness Krebs that he was going to a drug store to purchase medicine to re- lieve her. This is practically the substance of the entire case against Irvin and it is most too early yet tostate what the defense to be set up will be, though it looks now as though it will be based on the claim that the wound found in the uterus was made by the embalmer and was a downward cut from the inside instead of being upward, from the outside, as would have been the case had an abortion been attempted with instruments. On Thursday morning Peter Calderwood was called to prove that Irvin was about the store on that day. Samuel Goheen, sworn. Defendant asked me to go and see how the girl was on the day she died, saying he was afraid to 0. 2 Dr. R. Houser, sworn. Gave general .desoription of girl’s condition when he reached her side. Said she had 20 or 25 convulsions from 2 until 7 o’clock. Dr. G. H. Woods, sworn. Testified to giving steam baths and hypodermic injec- tions for relief of convulsions. Dr. H. Lowry, Tyrone, sworn. Told of girls condition, having 2 or 3 convulsions in a half an hour, her rapid pulse and im- possibility to take temperature. Benton Heberling, the undertaker,sworn. Explained the process of embalming. Had withdrawn blood from the body through right auricle of the heart. Was present at the autopsy. Described raising and re- burial. Dr. J. L. Seibert, sworn. Explained the work of the autopsy, which he had con- ducted with assistance of others. Found stomach, kidneys and spleen normal, liver enlarged, uterus enlarged and inflamed, collapsed, and containing two perforations and one puncture. Uterus was im- pregnated. \ Dr. Kidder, sworn. His testimony prac- tically substantiated Dr. Seibert’s, except as to the matter of the inflammation. Constable J. A. Decker, sworn. He stated that jars containing portions of the body for examination had not been tam- pered with while in the hotel at Pine Grove Mills. - N. B. Spangler, district attorney, sworn. To prove that organs were not disturbed in “the jars while in his possession. Dr. G. G. Pond made the expert exam- ination of the organs delivered to him by Mr Spangler on March 14th. In using one- fourth of the stomach he said he found 7-10 of a grain of nitro glycerine, which was enough in itself to have caused such convulsions as the girl had had. He said the embalming fluid, though containing glycerine, could have had no effect on the nitro. Dr. Geo. F. Harris, sworn. Called to show action of nitro-glycerine when ad- ministered in small quantities as found in this case and as to effect in medical doses. Dr. Harris stated that it would work di- rectly opposite from results claimed by Dr. Seibert and called the ailment one arising from pregnancy. Dr. Wood, recalled, in order to counter- act evidence of Harris. : Dr. Seibert, recalled, for the same reason and then the Commonwealth rested. Reeder and Quigley at once moved to di- rect the Commonwealth to designate upon which counts of the indictment it would proceed. ah ts The court directed that of the seven counts the two in relation to the child he stricken off. Dr. Houser, called by defense. Dr Houser insisted that such a puncture as was found in this uterus could not have been made by the insertion of an instrument from the outside and upward. He contend: ed that it must have been made by the em- balmer, since it was a downward cut. He also stated that the injection of nitro-glye- erine would have produced convulsions but death would have followed at least in for- ty-five minutes and not been delayed a day, as in this case. He also stated that at a conference of the physicians whe’ held the autopsy, that they had come to the concla- sion that there was no evidence of erimin- ~ ality, so far as the womb was conzerned. He agreed with Dr. Harris that the conval- sions were due to a condition of pregnancy rather than to the presence of nitro-glycer- ine. Dr. Woods was recalled and agreed with Dr. Houser as to results of nitro, etc. Isaac Woomer, A. M. Brown and Daniel Irvin, were called and testified that Irvin + had the best of reputations and was con- sidered a citizen of good standisg up to this time. ; David Nearhuth was called by Common- wealth in rebuttal of the good character, * but the court ruled his testimony out as irrelevant. After some parrying among the lawyers court adjourned until this morning. The defense will put Dr. Harris on the stand this morning again and the Commnon- wealth will offer some rebuttal testimony. As it looks now Irvin, himself, will not be called, REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY.
