Gangrene moans the death of a living part of the body and Incipient putrefaction. You have the end of your finger partially out off, and union does not take place, change takes place in its color, becomes dark, soft, and finally falls of, we say that was gangrenous. So of a gunshot wound a portion of the body where bullet entered becomes soft and la removed by sloubiug. It is quite a common 11 consequence of disease when inflammatory acllop is pushed to Us final 'diseased termination and when it. involves a vital organ Is necessarily fatal. The stomach .is a vital organ. There is a variety of color about ganferene—.green, blue, black—and the organ effected by it somewhat an offen sive odor. Q.—ln making post mortem for medico-legal purposes, when cer- tain symptoms have been treated by at ' tending physicians, should not, special attention be paid by those making exam*' Inatlbu-to-thbseparls? —Ceriai niy —ho would fipd it . and chiefly look ah chose organs.be suspected to be the seat of the dlaeaseXThe symptoms of poison from arsenic are-numerous and not by any means uniform. Sometimes, and I think in the majority of cases, they are those of an irritant to stomach and bow els; again those of a nervous nature; and again those of a narcotic,such as opium or beiladona. I agree with Prof. Sogers in relation to symptoms of arsenical poison ing, There is an addition I would make to symptoms enumerated by him, viz: a'difficulty of urination, and sometimes an arrestof thisfunctlon. Occasionally an eruption of vesicular character, not a very frequent symptom. Somellmesalso par alysis—generally result of long continued poisoning, and even lock jaw, when there have been frequent spasms. Tbesesymp toms are not exclusively due to arsenic. I have not been able to discover a single symptom, nor any group of symptoms, as exclusively characteristic of arsenical poisoning. Nearly ail the irritant poisons would be accompanied by similar symp toms—corrosive sublimate, tartar emetic, sulphate of copper, caustic alkalis, salt petre, oxallcacld,ohlorideol Barium; veg etables croton oil, petroleum, colohicum, and others; and among the animal series oantharldes.. Home of them produce very similar symptoms to those caused by arsenic, others are less so. Some produce bloody stools, con vulsuions, cramps in leg and so on. Others more decidedly narcotic symptoms ; but they ail belong to the same general class of Irritants. They are so much like the symptoms of natural disease as to prevent one from deciding whether they are from poison or from natural disease. The symptoms of pois oning by arsenic are by no means uni form- I don’t think the symptoms of any of the Irritant peisons are fixed so as to to decide from the symptoms. X don’t know of any irritant poison in which the symptoms are fixed. The symptoms of inflammation of stomach and bowels are not Invariably fixed.— When arsenic is taken into the system,, it la disposed of in various ways—part of it may be vomited ; part purged off by bowels, and the balance absorbed into the circulation. Absorption is the recep tion into the biood of the matter contain ed in the stomach in a soluble form. Ail metals I presume are absorbed, that ad mit of being dissolved—anything may be absorbed that is capable of solution. Ar . senlc is retained in the system sometimes for a considerable length of time—by this I mean fixed in some one or more or gans of the body—such as liver, heart, kidneys, spleen, brain, &o. We do not find the same quantity after death from the same amount taken before death — sometimes a comparatively small fatal dose may leave behind a comparatively large amount. This differencein amount found is dependent upon two facts, first, the esoaps of enme of the poison by vom iting and purging—and, secondly, by its repid eiumination from body after it has been swallowed. Sometimes, too, 2or 3 grains may prove fatal, sometimes an oz. or two, 1 taken at one dose; the reason of that is thetfulness of the stomach. As a role arsenic proves fatal within twenty four hours. According to high authority, Prof. Guy, of London, more than one balfthe fatal cases within twelve hours, some of them within a shorter time. The symptoms are not proportionate to the amount, Q. How far would you as a che mist rely upon Keinsoh’s test, when the quantity is very small? A. As far os Reinsch’s test goes, it is an admirable test, but I should not rely upon Reinsoh’s teat exclusively for determining the ques tion, particularly if this question wan connected with a medico-legal examina tion. The smaller quantity oan he un questionably determined by Reinsch’s test. I would employ other tests along with Relnsob’s. Marsh's test along with Relnach’s. If not enough for all, I would prefer Marsh’s test. The deter mining of very small quantities with hut one test, admits of questioning. To the chemist himself, if he be a man of expe rience and ability, there may bo no doubt of the single test. J. M. ScounLEß, sworn —Live in New ville,; am a druggist. Never sold John £lebl any poison. Dr. Jno. J. Reese, continued— lf I was limited to one test, with a small quantity. I would prefer Marsh’s test, bi cause I can work with it more accurately. I think it Is more decided, and gives the absolute proof, the metal Itself, in the form of a metallic mirror, and a metallic spot from which metallic mirror and spot we may procure other tests. Marsh’s test enables us to make further tests than Beinsch’s ; though as a trial test It is generally customary to employ Eeinsch’s test. A drop of Fowler’s solution, falling upon a box such as that analyzed by Dr. Band, the arsenic could be detected with the greatest ease by the process, -followed by Dr. Band, by a skillful chemist, and even a much less quantity than a drop. To satisfy ourselves upon that point, wo •i - made the experiments detailed by Dr. Eodgers yesterday, with respectively the tenth of a drop of Fowler’s solu tion equivalent to one-twelve hun dredth of a grain of arsenic; and the fiftieth of a drop,'equivalent to one six thousandths of a grain of arsenic. These small quantities being allowed to fall upon the lid of a wooden box such as described. On testing these portions of the box, by Reinsch’s pro cess, as performed by Prof. Band, we procured in both cases the dark deposit on the copper, which when subjected to heat in the small test tubes, afforded white sublimates, which under a very ordinary microscope, gave us, in the one instance at least the characteristic eight-sided crystals—n ot so certainly In the other instance, because of the imperfection of light and the Inferiority of the Instrument. I have no doubt; • considerably smaller quantity might j>e presenting a number of] V ** eight-sided crystals. The excessively small amount of poisonous substances which may be detected by am nhtllytical chemist is almost incredible* 1£ is not by any means difficult to detect a} millionth grain of strychnine, if pure; I have detected even a smaller quan tity—l have detected less than, a millionth part of a grain, if pure. A medico-legal chemical analysis should be conducted in the most scrupulous care and in the most exhaustive man . ner, because of the grave responsibi) i_ tieslnvolved. I have no doubt Dr. Ka' ad, from his recognized skill and a bility as a l chemist, thoroughly convinced hif naelf of the presence of arsenic in the mate rial which was submitted tobisi analy sis.. What might be conshlere'd by one chemislas satisfactory proof, might not be so regarded by another, on this point chemists like other men differ.— Some will arrive at a conclusion more rapidly than others, .Some see* through a proposition almost Intuitively, others by successive slow steps. Jjhould have requireda-moreexhaastiveanalysisto satisfy me in a medico-legal investiga tion for poison than appeals to .have satisfied my, iriend Frof. Band. I would have employed some othertests, my mind being, perhaps, more sluggish and cautious. I would have employed all the tests that are considered charac teristic. First Eeinoh’s test, which consists in burning the suspected mate rial in pure muriatic acid and water, upon strips of copper foil, and subject ing these strips, when properly cleaned and dried, to the action of the heat of it spirit lamp, in a small glass tube. The arsenic deposited on the copper is subfivned upon the tube in the form of eight sided crystals—this is one test— Secondly, Marsh’s test and Its modifi cations. This consists of adding the suspected substance to the materials for generating hydrogen, in a proper flask, to which is attached a properly constructed glass tube, terminating in an open point. There are three modi fications of the test, one consists of ap plying the heat of a spirit lamp to the horizontal portion of the tube, as the arsenureted hydrogen gas is passing along the tube. A bright metallic ring or deposit is formed a little in ad vance of the flame. This is pure met allic arsenic, and can be subjected tostill further tests—next the jet of gas as it issues from the tube is set on Are.— It burns with a peculiar, colored flame, and of a white porcelain saucer, Is held over the flame, or rather in the flame, a brilliant steel colored blackish deposit is made upon the porcelain. This also is pure metallic arsenic; and a greot number of these spots may thus be ob tained for farther analysis. Third, in stead of lighting the jet of gases as it comes out of the tubes, turn the tube around, so as to look downwards, and the gas Is made to pass through a solution of nitrate of silver, common lunar caus tic; If there be any arsenic present in this gas, the color of the solution will change almost immediately, and a black deposit will form of metallic silverjwhilst the arsenic will remain in solution in the form of arsenous acid. All we have to do now is to filter the substance and get a clear solution ; to which we may apply two other new tests, called the liquid teats—these are the ammoniucal sulphate of copper, which will give a characteristic green precipitate, called Soheels’s green; and the ammoniacai ni trate of silver teat, which gives a char acteristic yellow precipitate, called the arseulte of silver. 80 much for Marsh's test.. Then comes the sulpbureted hy drogen test. Passing pure sulpbureted hy drogen gas through an acidulated solution suspecied to contain arsenic Iftbe solu tion be free flora organic matter, a.bright yellow precipitate will be formed. This Is the yellow sqjphide of arsenic or orpi ment. We throw this upon a filter and dry it. It is impassible to decide positi vely upbn the fact of this being arsenic without subjecting it to a further test — the redaction process; and this con- sists of adding to the suspected sulphide some reducing agent,- such as hiack flax, or as I prefer, dried yellow prussiate of potash, and applying the beat of a spi rit lamp to this mixture in a tube. Un der these circumstances, the arsenic if it be present In ever so small a quantity, is liberated from the sulphur, and sub limes In the form of a brilliant metallic ring. Fourth—the nitrate of silver test. This consists in adding nitric acid to the metallic arsenic obtained in any of tbepe ways, and allowing it to evaporate under a gentle heat; This converts the metallic arsenic into a new form called arsenic acid. When this Is dry, a drop of nitrate of silver solution Immediately produces a characteristic brick red col ored substance, known as the arseniate of silver. Fifth. - These crystals obtain ed should be mixed with a reducing agent in asmall glass, tube, and applying heat, we would obtain the brilliant ring of pure metallic arsenic. That I should consider exhaustive. If a substance an swered to all tbese tests, we would then say positively and unequivocally that arsenic was present. These tests exclude everything but arsenic. For a very ac curate quantitative analysis I should have proceeded a little further than Hr. Band did. I think Hr. Band assumed that the sulphide of arsenic obtained by drying the ammonia solution was per fectly pure. In my experience this isnot [he fact, as It would contain more or lees of organic matter, derived from the sub stance analyzed, and likewise some pre cipitated sulphur, which would materi ally increase Us weight, and thereby lead to an overestimate of the amount of the arsenic- I do not think it possible to get rid of all this organic matter and sulphur, by simply dissolving this yellow substance in ammonia. The only method of entirely getting rid of the organic matter and sulphur Is by means of calcination. To effect this we add a few drops of strong, fum ing nitric acid, and then a mixture of dry carbonate of soda and n Urate of soda, and then expose to a gradual heat in a crucible, until the whole mass is fused and becomes a clear transparent solution. Then we know that'ail the organic mat ter has been destroyed—not a trace con remain behind. But we haven’t don with it yet; we must next get rid of ail the nitric acid and any trace of chlorine that may be present. This Is done by ad ding a little strong sulphuric acid, and evaporating to dryness. Now we hove the arsenic in a new combination, but still all of it there, in the form of arsen iate of soda. This mass consists now only of sails, no organic matter whatev er. We dissolve this, and by means of sulphurous acid, bring book the arsenic, acid to Us original condition of areenious odd, by taking away a portion of its oxygen. Now we have it in the state for obtaining the ultimate pure suiphuret, by transmitting through it sulphurated hydrogen gas. All this complicated process la to get rid of the organic matter and BiilpUv.r. If uow, the dried sulphur et be nlhcurately weighed, we can deter, mini ‘precisely what amount of arsenic Was originally present in 'the matter eubr altted for analysis. Sulphide and snhphu’ret are synonymous terms. There * 8 no other method of getting rid of ° rganhi matter and sulphur. If the sul phide first obtained, and dissolved in ammonia and dried, had been subjected over and over again to action of hydro chloric acid, and chlorate of patassa, as described by I)r. Rand in the first por tion of his process, it is possible that the amount of organic matter might have been' diminished somewhat, but I do not think the amount op precipitated sulphur would. Dr, Rand’s object undoubtedly was, in passing a stream of sulpbureted hydrogen gas through an acidulated solu tion containing arsenic and organic mat ter for several days, to precipitate the wholeof tbearsenio that might be present but in so doing there wouldnecersarily be likewise precipitated, not only a consid crable 'amount of organic matter, bu likewise of suinhur. Thejimounbo -plur-preoipUaTeiTwould"Be"increased by the length of time employed in the pro cess, even If no arsenic were present In an aoidu Inteci solution, and -a stream of sulphurated hydrogen be passed through it for a considerable length of time, de composition ensues, and free sulphur is precipitated, of a dirty yellowish white color. Every material used by an analy tical chemist in medico-legal examina tions for poison, should be absolutely chemically pure; and sulphurated hy drogen should not form an exception. In such an examination ail possibility of introducing the poison which we are searching for, should be rigidly excluded. Sulphide of iron does sometimes con tain arsenic as an impurity, and that is the reason why the purity of the gas. should be first determined. There is a possibility that some of the impurity might get into the matter being tested, and thus vitiate the result. A very mi nute quantity of arsenic, when tested by Kelnsch’s process, will produce a coat ing on a large proportionate amount ol copper surface; and a piece of copper foil so coated will yield quite a number of small, eight sided crystals, visible by the microscope. In using Keinsch’s teal there is always a little organic matter deposited bn the copper with the arsenic, and how.far the presence of this organic matter wouldjntorfere with the sublima tion of the crystals, I am unable to say. I think it is probable that arsenic- in a' solution containing organic matter, might be deposited o,n copper foil more slowly in Rolnsch'a test than if the mat ter were perfectly pure, but the presence of organic matter will not prevent the deposit of arsenic if time be given. In passing sulphurated Hydrogen through an acidulated solution containing orga nic matter, and continuing the process for some time, if there be any arsenic present, the precipitate thus produced will consist of a mixture of the arsenic in the form of a sulphide, together with a considerable portion of the organic mat ter and free sulphur; the amount of the free sulphur will be increased somewhat by the length of time employed in the process, because it is the property of an acid solution to decompose sulphurated hydrogen gas and liberate free sulphur, and the longer this process is continued the more free sulphur will be liberated. Hence it may happen that such a com plex precipitate may be composed of a largo proportionate quantity ol organic sulphur; and asmall proportionate quan tity of sulphide of arsenic. It may bo a onp half, one fourth, one eighth, and one sixth and so on—any fractional quantity. If this mass, containing only a small fractional part of arsenic, wore furljier tested by first excluding all the foreign matter, it could be made to indicate the presence of arsenic unequivocally. r By Mu Miller,—Woald the administration of Fowler’s solution ns prescribed by Dr Zlt zer in’Mrs. Kiehl, over u period of nearly three months prior to her death.

I think it might account for Its presence there under the circumstance without necessarily supposing the administration of the arsenic there In a poisonous dose.

BY.

In apnwer to the Ist part of that question I would reply—the u most fiosslblo and scrupulous care should he taken rora the very moment that the stomach and other viscera supposed to contain a grain is taken tr. m the body of the deceased, those materials should be placed in a proper rocen tao o securely sealed and transmitted directly to a chemist, or If not so transmitted should be securely kept under lock urn) key.

I have also examined sorhe of the photographs taken from these tubes, and they appear confirmatory of that belief, though they are not very distinct.

Himes, sworn.—l am Prof, of natural science In Dickinson College, There ire several methods of destroying organic matter. Wo might employ the method em ployed by Dr. Hand, in which hydrochloric acid and chlorate of potassa were used tills method however would hardly be considered udrnted to the complete destruction of the organic matter, in the examination of a stom ach for arsenic, If that arsenic were precipita ted from the resulting solution, by means of sulphuieted bjdiogen; for the reason tbatfuilpbureled hydrogen, Will in almost all cases, produce a precipitate iu such a solution, whether arsenic be present or not. In order, therefore, to destroy the organic matter completely, it would be necessary to subject tbe ter-sulphlde «f arsenic obtained, to subsequent treat ment. Fuming nitric acid might be em ployed for this purpose, in connection with subsequent treatment with sulphur ic acid. The better method, however, would be to fuse the tersulphlde of ar senic with carbonate of soda and nitrato of soda. The process might be varied; but not essentially changed. In this case, if arsenic were present, it would appear In the form of soluble arsenate of soda, which could be subjected to further tests for arsenic, I think the process used by Dr. Rand would not have destroyed the organic matter. Sulphide of arseuic, of antimony, of tin, of cadmium, and or ganic matter, wou'd have been thrown down in the ammonia solution and, traces of sulphur. After evaporation, we would have these substances left We could not calculate the quantity of arsenic without further process. The precipitate obtained by Dr. Rand might contain these sulphides, if the corres ponding compounds had been present in the liquid acted upon by hydro sulphur ic acid. If he bad determined the ab sence of all these substances except the arsenic, this precipitate would contain only.tersulphidp of arsenic, organic mut ter, and perhaps traces of free sulphur. It would be tersulphide of arsenic in the ammoniacal solution. I could not from, the weight of this residue estimate the quantity of nrsenious acid. I couldn’t tell how much organic matter he would have in the residue. I could not give any idea of the quantity of organic mat ter in the residue—it would vary- The quantity would depend upon the amount of organic matter originally treated.— Sulphureted hydrogen might contain arsenureted hydrogen, provided the aul phuret of iron, or the sulphuric acid contained arsenic. Dr. Rand explained that l\e did not purify his sulphureted hydrogen, because it would test itself— that the sulphureted hydrogen would precipitate any compound of arsenic I think it would not necessarily purify itself. (Sulphuric acid may contain ar senic. Sulphuret.of Iron may also con tain arsenic, I don't say, however, that they The sulphuret of iron may contain arsenic from the iron or the* sulphur out of which it Is composed. I recollect Dr. Rand’s statement in regard to his manner of estimating the quantity of arsenic In liver. He carefully discarded the word estimate, and only guessed ot the quantity of arsenic. I wouldn’t like to guess at It myself upon those grounds. Cross jEb—The solution obtained by by dro-chlorlc acid and potash might have a yellowish color from chlorine. Chlorate of Potash is used in destroying organic matter. Any method of analysis will be criticized, but If the method was in ac cordance with established authorities, I think a body of chemists would agree as to the result. The chemist who performed the analysis would be the best person to form The estimate, as he is the only one who has the data* The Reinsch test is a recognized test, as far as it goes. If he used Marsh’s test, it would have un doubtedly discovered arsenic. I have examined the mlco photographs ; there are evidences there of eight-sided crys tals in ail except one, whioh does not seem satisfactory, but I examined the sublimate from which it was taken, and found it to contain the eight-sided crys tals. I also examined the tubes contain ing sublimates from the stomach and liver, and found them to contain the eight-sided crystals, The copper strips seem to have the arsenical deposit on them—lt redSmbles, to ray mind, arsenic more than any thing else, but in itself would not be conclusive of the presence of arsenic. If then, pieces of copper,.in a small glass tube, were subjected to the gentle heat of an ordinary spirit lamp, and gave a sublimate of octohedral crys tals, I would conclude that crsenio was present in the coating* Henry Myers, sworn— l live two miles north of Shippensbjrg. 1 am father of Catherine Myers, and the uncle of Mrs. Kiehl, She was my slater's chijd.

Ft was after that he wanted one of them to go to Frankford again, but theyuidn’t go. Mm. Kiehl was sick during the winter ; she had aspen every now and then. Showassorae times pretty bad when I went there. She said her appetite wasn’t very good sometimes, and sometimes she could eat some. She said some times things tasted middling woil; and some times they didn’t. When she hud to throw up she said It tasted bitter—everything she ate tasted bitter when she had no appetite to eat.— The last spell she had, John went down to Kate’s bro|tier’s, and fetched her.

Kate had a child nine years ago. Kate has not kept company with any man since that that I kr.ow of. Cross Esamined.—' Tills matter troubled us a good hit thN summer. Q f Have you been told that your daughter Kate might got Into trouble Ifihls charge was proven against John Kiehl ? A. Well, I don’t remember there '*-ns n woman told mo a couple of weeks before Mrs. K., died, that I had better keep her away, ns people were talking about her. It w.*s a hard thing to keep her away when th«y always sent for her. It was a couple of weeks before Mrs, Kiehl died that this woman told mo so. Kato gotslck* shortly after Klehl’s arrest. Q. What was the cause of her sickness? A. It was the gi eat trouble and fear. Mr. Myers was hack and for ward In the room the tlmo the company was there, Kato was In the kitchen sometimes.— Kate and I attended to Margate! the whole evening. Kiehl was sometimes In kitchen and sometimes in the r-'om. He was back and for ward In the room through the evening, i-omo times he was silting In ihokliehen. M»s. Kiehl never su’d that Jo in was so cro-s tbpt she had to come for someone. In the evening, when the work was done. Mr. Myers sent Jane over to stay with Kato. ns Mrs. KloliJ was so sick— Jane went over, In fhe morning early she came homo. I never sent Jane over before to keen her company, i could not rememberhow often dining the winter Mrs. Kiehl was sick When Kale wasalck she had to throw up She com plained of things being hitter. I can’t toll how oiten Kate wont over during the winter when Mr. Kiehl was away 'from home.

And she rested pretty well then on till dinner time, when her mother came. She asked her when the doctor had Leon out to see her Inst, and she told het* in the morning.

When her mother curao, she gave her just ns much to drink us she wanted to drink. I told her the doctor said wo shouldn't give her so much to drink, that would start her vomiting again. Her mother said she would give her as much to drink us she pleased, for that was all the woman lived ofl* 01. Then Dr. Nevln-aud Dr. Stewart cara.% 'Dr. Nevlu said wo had given her too much to drink—that was what caused It again, 1 told him I dld'ut give her much to drink, it- was her-mother that done it.

There was never any improncr intimacy between John Klehl and me. There was often a good d«ai of Aiu-rtusslmg through one another— Sarah, him and I, hut X always thought it wds through jokes. Ow» Examined.—l never told Anna Waltrlck I had slept with John Itlehl. I never told- her I had done wor-e than that. X hud no reason to tell her that.

X wasn’t with him In the fields on Sunday, I slept down stairs, in the little buck' thorn, when 1 was at Kiohl’s. John slept up stairs In the front room. When she was away from home John slept up stairs and I slept down stairs; he was not In my room, 1 had my little girl with me then. She is be tween eight and nine years old. Ireughthav© had tussling with John while she was away. ] don’t remember. X was thete still when she came down to the doctor. Bhe Just staid away one bight.

When hr wont to Frankford. he staid at his father’s, and I at my aunt’s. I saw John onMoiiday, before his wife took sick—that was the lost I saw him, until he came down for me. 1 was never wit)' John.nlone In the fields on Sunday. Mr. Waltrlck and I wore loading hay together, the Monday before Ajts.ICIoUI took sick. He didn’t speak to mo about ray Intimacy with Klehl. as I remember. I don’t know that I told Mr. WnlirJck.

Mrs Klehl said Kate knew bow her wot k was done. Mr. Klehl came over one Saturday and asked for mo. and I couldn’t go. Wo were expecting c unpany and I got my sister to go.— Mrs. Klehl had never asked mo to come She was a good deal sick. H heneversho would take a spell she would send for Kate. Bne said she hadn’t u very good appetite sometimes—things didn't taste ’very good to her. Whatever sue would eat she would have to throw up when she was taking medicine. She paid her food tasted bitter, when she was taking medicine. I was planting corn there the Tuesday before she took sick. She just came home from Carlisle on Monday evening; on Tuesday, while we were planting corn, she said Dr. Zilzer was not at borne; but Dr. Bixler gave her medicine, and his medicine was not like Dr. Zitzer’s. She said she gotso used to taking Zitzer’s medicine, she didn’t need to drop it any more. She could pour it In a cup, and take it in that way. Cross Examined.— Kate was first at Mr. Klehl’s last fall. Don’t remember when she came home. When Sarah went home to go to the doctor’s, my sister went over. She went away for medicine just before I was there. She was there Sun day night. She ate at our house; never threw up there. Never saw her take her medicine. I know last winter she often paid when she took them sick spells, her food tasted bitter. I knew it before my sister testified. I wasn't at Kiehl's w ith Kate. They were not out much by themselves. JiC'Cx in Chief, —I never saw any bad conduct between Kate and John. William Finkey, sworn,—l live In Southampton township, one fourth mile from Klehl. Saw Mrs. Kiehi on Thursday before her death; was there between 11 and 12 o’clock ; was there about half an hour. John was very kind to his wife, and done everything for her I thought a man could do. He fetched her water, fanned her, and fixed her p||. lows. When I went to start out of the house, I gave Mrs. Doner good bye, and while she bad my hand, she asked Sa rah whether she didn’t think she got poison ; and Sarah’s reply was, “Oh, no, mother,'l put more confidence in John than that.” Then I started down stairs; Mrs. Doner didn’t mention any name when she asked her, My wife was there but had gone down stairs. I have known John Klehl ten years. As far as I have heard, X heard nothing out of the regard to his character. Cross Examined, —When I went there, nobody was there but her mother. Mr! Klehl came in while I was there. I first knew John Kiehl in Frankfort!; there I lived about two miles from him. We were not very sociable; had nothing against others. I know Mrs. Carbaugh* I never said that Klehl had attempted to poison hia wife before. I never sold any thing of the kind to her. There was a talk going.

They said, Never mind; that will be all made right.” He attended to her- well, and was hind to her, I went there about one o'clock. John gave her a drink, and fixed her pillows, and.laid her hack In bed. I can't remember whether he fan ned her. I went ‘ there on Thursday evening, they were lighting the candles, he went up stairs to see how she was.— She didn’t see John,.and said, where is John ? Her mother said, What John 7 She said, our John. Her mother said, litre be is, and be came to her and said, here I am, Sarah ; did you want any thing? She said, John, you stay with me. He said, “I’ll stay with you, Sa rah, of course I will.” Mrs. Catharine ThuMma, sworn— l live in Southampton township.

I didn't hear what she said.— Mrs. Doner said, “Oh, SArah don’t mind the cost—that will all be made right.” I 'hlnk that is all I heard. I saw John bringing her water, and helping to give it tp her. I went back Thursday after noon, about one o’clock, and staid till about three o’clock. When I came there, Mrs. Doner and Mr. Kiehl were at her bedside; and whenever she wanted any thing she asked John for it. She ashed for water, lemonade and ice. I saw him giving them to her. He fixed her in bed. He said she was lying so poor she ought lobe fixed. He gave her ice and lem onade whenever she wanted it. Had a conversation with Anna Doner, In fanuary, at our bouse. She asked me whether I heard of the trouble Sarah had ; I told her not. She told me she had been there one nijjht—her mother had sent her up to stay with Sarab and after she went to bed. Sarah cried and prayed and went on so she put her head'under (lie pillows, so she wouldn’t hear her. She said she was going to go among her friends, for she could hardly stand it to hear Sarah going on that way; she said, that night she could hardly stand it. I asked her where John was when Sarah went on that way; she said bo was in bed; he had went to town and brought Mr. Billheimer out, the Luther an preacher in Shippehsburg. She said she was afraid ff Mrs, Kiehl didn’t gel better, she might get wrong in her mind. Henhy Waltrick— recalled— l have known John Kiehl ever since he has been married.

It was dusk when X lefl home, and I staid until half past twelve. John wasn’t in the roorn'when I went, but came up about five minutes after I was there. He appeared very kind to her while I was there. He was In the room a good while. He fetched her wa ter ; that was all I seen. , Dr., P. H. Long, sworn.— l reside in Meehanicsburg; am a practicing physi I clan. Have been practicing medicine for 24 years. TI wouldnt’ know of any poi son that would make the coffee black. Strychnia might make it bitter, but would not make It black. I don’t know of any poison that would make It black. ; The medicinal administration of arse nici as testified to by Dr. Zitzer, might have left the quantity found by Dr. Rand in the system. It could scarcely help leaving a certain amount in sys tem, it having been given in emall'do ses, the very mode we employ for its constitutional effects. We would ex pect it to permeate thesystem, through organ and tissue, until the object was attained for which it was given I understood Dr. Zitzer gave it with a view to its constitutional effects, for the relief or dispersion of a fallopian or ovarian enlargement. The treatment was proper; I think he could trust to the profes slon at large, to sustain him in that. It would be proper to omit the arsenic treatment at the end of twenty days, and commence a differ ent treatment, for two reasons: Firsts because of the known tendency, if con tinued uninterruptedly, to excite gas troenteric symptoms. Second— forthe accommodation of this particular case inasmuch as the menstrual period, was painful and to prescribe palliatives for the reasonihiscasewassuflferinglntense ly during that period, also to give an agent to promote the very function Itself which lu this case I understand to have been a preparation of iron. X heard the tes timony of Drs." Kevin, Stewart, Kelffer and Xiongsdorf. I think there was noth ing in the symptoms more than the symptoms of ordinary gastro enteritis, »g. gravated perhaps by the presence of ar senic in the system. I think there was .nothing In the post mortem appearances, us indicated by those who performed the operation, which could have been con strued into anything special or charac teristic of arsenical poisoning. Acute gastro enteritis, from any cause, mlgh^ have produced these symptoms and ap pearances. I think I would agree with Dr. Stewart in saying the food, the Im prudent eating, apart? from all other considerations, might produce gaslro en teritis; and I would bo strengthened tu that belief, when I remembered she was under arsenical treatment, strongly p ro . disposing her to gastrq enteric irritation and then, in addition, the fact that she over-exerted herself- The result of over, exertion In that case 'would be equal ( 0 putting the match to the powder, l or j should think that all the elements of inflammatory action were now present to produce that effect by Its combining agency. I would be surprised if inflam mation didn’t set in rapidly. Arsenlo-ia' prescribed in the form of Fowler’s solu tion, more frequently than in any other. Cross Examined- The operation of Fowl ler’s, solution on the human system de pend J upon the dose. Operates as a tonic in one sense, as an alleviator in another and by virtue of its tonic effects, as a' deobstruant, for removing obstacles. does ttiat-by bol ng-absorbod atfd taken ' into the circulation, carried throughout every part of the system. It would find,its. way to the liver, kidneys bladder, glandular system generally and every tissue and organ through! out. It gels to the brain sometimes. The dose, for an adult, Is from six to ten drops, three times a day. if there are gastro enteric symptoms the physician should notice it, and his patient should be posted. The evidence of injurious effect would be general oedema or smelling; chronic diarrhoea and occasional vomiting. , When these symptoms occur, the patient should omit the medicine for a while until that subsides. It depends upon circumstances how soon the symptoms might exhibit themselves—They might not in three months—it depends upon the patient. Dr. Geo. Fulmer, sworn :—l live in Mechanicsburg—have been practising medicine, since 1853. I know of no poison.that would’taste bitter. I know of no poison that would make coffee black. Strychnia would be bitter, but would not cause her to throw up. If it is true that arsenic will aceumu-" late in the system, then the quantity lound by Dr. Rand, might be the result of medical treatment. I think Dr. Zifzer’s arsenical treatment was right, if the patient had a large ovarian tumor, as he represents. It would de pend on the timeshe quit usingarsenic, and the time she died, whether any of it could be found after death. There might have been a month between. \1 she had taken arsenic in medical doses, up to the time of death, they might have found some after death. When given in small doses, it has a tendency to diffuse itself, through tlje system more than when given in large doses. The arsenical treatment she was under was sufficient to produce irritation of the stomach, and that irritation might have been excited, by some other cause, into acute inflammation. She might have taken cold, or eaten some indigestible food, and that might have produced it. Cross Examined —l think bi-chro mate, of potash and Iqgwood in. a cup of coffee, would make a per son vomit, if in sufficient quanity. If five grains of arsenic were taken, there would be such intense vomiting that not much could be found after death. It would bo more rapidly eliminate!/ from the system, in the shape of Fow ler’s solution. Some authors say It sometimes accumulates. I believe Taylor and Worraley say it will not accumulate, in the system. Dr. Wood -ays it does accumulate, in his old edition. . I don’t know any author of recent date, who lays it down that it does accumulate. It is doubt ful whether a grain of arsen ic could be found in thestomach, when ten days had elapsed before- death, in which none ol Fowler’s solution had been taken. Liquid arsenic is carried off into ■ the circulation immediately.— Fowler’s solution would be gradually el. im’nated frorn the system. It would cause sweilingoflheeye lids and other cellular tissues. I think thegreaiest part of the arsenic would he eliminated from the system, its administration covering the period of a month. In administra- 'ion of arsenic. I see the patient fre quently. I have given Fowler’s solu tion to patient lo take home, where I felt assured patient was prudent. The effect of arsenic is different with differ ent persons. An overdose would have a violent irritating effect—showing itself by vomiting, pain in stomach,— heat, intense thirst. He Ex. in Chief. —The burning in the stomach and throat is not confined to irritant poisons, but might result from ordinary gastro enteritis. Inflamation from causes I have detailed, might run to mortfiication and result in death. In the post mortem for ordinary enteritis, I would expect to find redness of mem brane, decomposition having commenc ed at that time,discolored spots upon the body ; softening of the mucous mem brane. The discolored spots would be' gangrene. Cross Examined.— lf I find the diges tive organs generally better that would be an indication that the arsenic was not Injurious lo the stomach. Dr. J. J, Zitzer, recalled —l was ask ed if Idon’t beep a separate boob, where ail were put down, whether they we'e paid or not. I said not. From then., j get It put in the ledger.
