"W’ „t is there in the post mortem exam) E ,u ol i that might not have been j the patient bad died from antimov y orifrom some other poison ?>■ A. “Tl> , 0 blood was dark and fluid, a peculiarity bf araliulcal poisoning, Authors differ a 9 to l their being Idiopathic oases of acute gastro en teritis, and not having had one In my practice, I doubt whether tliere am a,uy. There was acute n'Mro enteritis, and in my opinion, it must have heeu caused from - some irri taut or escorotio taken into the stomach. These patches of in flammation, having that yellow or gan - anti yet- iTolr n gan— ~ grenmis, were accoutited for Id c meas ure by the preservative effect of arsenic. Under ordinary circumstances, as from the effects of acute gqatro enteritis ut these highly inflamed points decomposi tion would have taken place equally to other portions of the body externally.— In poisoning by prussic acid, the blood would be dark and fluid. Lead is an ir ritant poison. If all the symptoms bad been tbe sapoe, and antimony would have been found, the post mortem exam ination would have been different. There would have beeu gangrene and decom position. There is no metal that will poison to the same effect as arsenic. Mr. Shearer then mentioned a number of symptoms and asked witness whether he had ever read of a case where half those symp'oms were absent. Ans.—l never read of a ease of arsenical poison ing In which one half those symptoms were absent.. Db. Alexander Stewaet, re-called —I was one of the attending physicians of Mrs. Kiehl, in her last illness. The hypothetical case was then put to. the witness, to which be answered ; I think It was a well developed case of acute in flammation of the stomach and bowels ; and from the,amounted arsenic discov ered in the system, I am well assured that a sufficient quantity of arsenic must have been received into her system to devel op the disease. The arsenic, in my opin ion, caused her'death. As regards li e organic lesions as developed by the post mortem examination, I am not well con vinced that such would.be peculiar to ar senic, but from tbe history of the case as then detailed, and tbe fact that chemical analysis detected tbe amount of arsenic there specified I have no doubt but that her death was caused by arsenical poison ing. Cross Examined.—The inflammation of the, stomach might have been produced by indigestible food, in a stomach of im paired tone, and marked by the same In dications; with the exceptions of intense burning beat and great difficulty of breath ing. I would not say, from the symp toms alone, that it was a case of arsenical poisoning; nor would I, from the post mortem examination alone. I would hot pronounce it a case of poisoning, from tbe symptoms and post mortem alone. I would do so, if convinced that the quan tity of arsenic found was not as great as represented by Dr. Band. My opinion would remain unchangedifcertain symp toms enumerated were absent. In that case there was repeated vomiting and whilst we know that arsen ic is very insoluble in water, the very large quantity of water drank tliere, as indicated by the repeated vomiting, must necessarily have dissolved consider able arsenic. Again, In that case there was a considerable quantity pi mucous ejected, with which, iu my judgment, arseuio, if there, would become incorpo rated. I came to my conclusion from these considerations. I never bad a case of arsenical poisoning in my, own prac tice, unless this was one. I speak from tbe symptoms as 1 learned . them from the books. I have consulted the books recently on those symptoms. I don’t think I ever read of a case in the books in which ail the symptoms given by Mr. Shearer were absent. I have read very few cases of arsenical poisoning. I think it is probable I never read of a case iu which one half of those symptoms were absent. I never made a post mortem ip a case of Suspected arsenical poisoning. X never read of one having been made without tbe stomach being opened. Tbe stomach is the primary seat of the dis ease in arsenical poisoning. Where the arsenic has beeu promptly elected from the stomach, no evidence of its presence wouid.be discovered, elsewhere than in the stomach. Ha-examined in chief.—We judge of diseases by tbe symptoms present, and not those absent. . I would say in my ex perience as a physician we rarely find two cases, in any decision, in which the indications are exactly the same. Cross Examined.—l always treats dree from the symptoms as they present themselves to me, without regard to tbe disease. The absence of a thing might be a symptom. Sometimes I do take Into consideration absence of symptoms. I can’t exactly Cohcieve of a case in which I would take tbe absence of any thing as a symptom in that esse. If ail symptoms of poisoning were absent I would not pronounce it a case of poisoning. • If tbe prominent symptoms were present, I would then designate tbe disease. Every symptom read Is not.a prominent symp tom. , lie-examined in chief.—The books lay down os prominent symptoms of arseni cal poisoning; First, intense burning sen sation in stomach, then nausea,then vom iting and purging, severe and protracted pain In stomach and bowels; an exten sion of the burning sensation up to the, mouth and down into the abdomen ; a sense of constriction around the throat; extreme difficulty of swallowing, and extreme thirst, and intolerance of alt warm drinks—these are what I would call the frequent symptoms in a case of arsenical poisoning, as I have learned them in the books. Those Mr. Shearer has mentioned may be occasional ones; the presence of those symptoms would only confirm me in my opinion. It is the mixture of bile and blood that gives the vomit Us green and brown appear ance. Cross Examined.— Some of these lead ing symptoms may sometimes be ab sent. The symptoms I have given are not constant symptoms. These are laid down ns symptoms in ail tho hooka I have read. I have never seen Worm ley’s works. Db. Thomas Stuart, sworn.— l re side in Carlisle; am a physician ; have been practicing medicine for twenty one years, in Butler county and Beavfcr county. (Hypothetical case rend.) Acute inflammation of the stomach and bowels was the cause of death.— Keeping out of view the chemical an alysis, ',t m ay have been caused by one prominent thing, and by two seconda ry causes. In the state of the stomach 'the time of eating the pie, the sausage h r .id the cream cake—the running around, and “afterwards taking the powder, wore enough to excite the in flammation, without any other cause. But in connection with the Uncling of ’arsenic by the chemical analysis, the amount of arsenic so found, was also sufficient to create the inflammation.— The inflammation, caused by oueornll of these, was the cause of death. The inflammation may have been caused by even all of them; but the arsenic stands prominent.. I attribute death to the arsenic principally. Oi'oss Examined. —Either was suffi cient to cause death. ’ I l\ad-ono case of arsenical poiaonijig. The symptoms detailed in this case were not all there. In that case tliere was vomiting, thirst,, pain in atomfieh and bowels, and some ; sVi^^om©-jp^BtWiom-^h{i ; pain and burning is nofso intense in inflammation from indigestion, as from, poisoning. There mitrht be burning in the throat in inflammation from indi gestion, but it is not so intense. Db. W. \V. Nevin, recalled.— l was one of the attending physicians upon Mrs. Kiehl. Have heard the hypo thetical case read. I think the patient died from gastro enteritis, induced by arsenical poison. The symptoms 1 no ticed, while attending the patient, in conneetioffVith post mortem examina tion and.che|nical analysis, would con firm thp opinion I have already ex pressed, tirat she died from acute gastro enteritis, induced by arsenic. The ab sence of symptoms read-by defense, Wouldn’t change my opinion as to cause of death. I never had a case of arsen ■ ical poisoning, unless the present one is such. I have read of a casein Which symptoms, given by Mr. Shearer, were all absent. I can’t tell what case it was. From the symptoms alone I would not pronounce it a case of arsenical poison ing, nor would I from the post mortem examination alone. From the post mortem 1 and symptoms together, ! would not pronounce it a case of arsen ical poisoning. Db. W. H. Cook, affirmed.—i reside in Carlisle; am a practicing physician. Have heard hypothetical case read;— From the history of the case, as de tailed in the hypothesis, taken in con nection with the finding of arsenic in the organs submitted for chemical an alysis, I would say arsenic was the prominent cause of death. Cross Examined. —There is nothing detailed in the hypothetical case that would give all the evidences of death. Gastro enteritis might produce death.— I have not seen any cause to think there is anything mentioned that would have produced gastro enteritis, except the arsenic. Gastro enteritis produced by idiopathic causes, generally tends to recovery. . I would not consider a stomach that could take in such food in the morning, liable to gastro enteritis from that cause. Appetite must be present. I have had slight cases of gastro inlerills. It does not follow, that because it was gastritis, it was poison. There are not many violent cases of gastro enteritis brought about by indi gestion. It might occur that a person would contract gastro i.nteritis by drink ing cold water when overheated. I don’t think the food she ate would have induced gastro enteritis. My suspicions would be aroused by such symptoms; if called to attend a case. Mbs. Anna Hoffman, reoallcd.— On Sunday Mrs. Kiehl left our place, between five and six o’clock. She said she Was well, and she thought she wouldn’t take any more medicine.— She had no good way of going to the doctor, and she thought she would be well enough without taking any more medicine. She said on Monday she was going to do her washing and go to town. Mbs. Barbara Waltrick, recalled. I was standing beside the bed ; Wm. Doner was standing there too. On Fri day morning just a few hours before she died, she asked me who was tending to her. Wm. Doner was standing at her head. She said who is this standing here. I told her it was her brother; she said he is to be married soon. I told her he was married. She said well then you marry him. I just told her I would. Then she said again, “well then you’ll marry him,” I just gave her the same reply. Mr. Kiehl was standing at her head. She said oh, John, chase out cat or Cass; I don’t know which. Db. W. W. Dale, affirmed.— l am a practicing physician; hpve been for thirty-three years. (Hypothetical case read.) Arsenical poison was the cause of death. Gross Examined. —I would pronounce it a case of arsenical poison from the symptoms alone. I would suspect it to he arsenical poison from the post mor tem alone. Then when you add the presence of the arsenic, it would only go to confirm my opinion. In- poison by antimony I would expect to find a greater immediate prostration, greater relaxation of the system, an increased amount of ail secretions—urine as well as all the others—which would cause the matter passing from the bowels to ' be more watery, while in tho case de tailed here, the urine was scanty. You might have burning in the throat, and excessive pain and burning in the stom ach, from any poison or acrid substance taken into the stomach, it would - not extend from the stomach up to the chin, nor be so intense in degree ; that with the constriction of tho throat would always lead me to look for arse nic in a case of gastro interiiis. I have had one case of arsenical poisoning, and I have had a great many cases of enter itis ’where arsenic had not been taken. I have seen several cases where anti mony had been taken in excess, but they were not fatal. In the cose of ar senical poisoning the patient recovered. My opinion of antimony is based on my experience. The symptoms in poison ing by antimony and by. arsenic are similar. Let a person die from infla tion of stomach and bowels, I vyojtld expect to find decomposition far ad vanced, nine days after death; and where the diseased part of the stomach and bowels bore the same test ns the well parts. I know there must have been some preservative agency there —some antiseptic, and should expect that antlseptic to be arsenic, I. have »een bodies In a better state of preserva tion than thin one longer time after death, where no arsenic bud been taken, in other Hensons of the year; and on tho other hand I have seen them where decompo>ltton wa« more rapid. If enteritis nud beeu .caused by ordinary causes, I would have expected a very offensive gas to escape from fhp hhdy* ♦Takonps a whole tho symtoraa described In .tho hypothetical citfonro peculiarly, absolutely and exclusively confined to arsenical poison alone. Taken as a whole, U\o salts of the alkalies yvlll not uroQuco tho same'symptoms as arsenical poisoning, without other symptoms to distinguish them. The alkalies would not prodaeo tho symptoms ns laid down In tho hypothetical case I have no experience In chloride of Barium, and don t know whet hernt would produce tho''© symptoms. lodine-would not produce tho whole of, these symptoms,-nor corrosive sublimate. There are not any vegetable substances that would pro duce the same symptoms. 1 can’t say whether oxalic n6ld wonld—l don’t know whether It would or not produce these symptoms, Oolchl oam would not produce these symptoms; I know nothing at all about poisonous mush rooms;* don’t Know whether It would produce this combination of symptoms I think white llelebore would produce these symptoms.

Brandt, affirmed, — I hivvo been prac ticing medicine 10 years. (Hypothetical onto rend to witness.)

Taking all tho symp toms into consideration, in connection with the fact that arsenic wife found In the stomach and liver, leads me to believe that death was caused by arsenic. .... Cross Jixamined.— l only arrive at this con clusion byjuclging all tho symptoms, In con nection with tho result of the chemical analysis. Du. A. J, Herman, sworn.— l am a practicing physician. I heard tho hypothetical case read. I would be Inclined to think that death was from niscnlc. I would think arsenic was tho cause of death. i Cross J&amined.—l would bo Inclined to think It was a case of arsenical poison without the re sults of chemical analysis, owing to tue burning sensation In tho throat and the vomiting. These red and inilamcd streaks from six t» oven inches long, in tho alimentary canal, I wouldn’t know by what they could bo caused, . else than by arsenic. I couldn’t account for them otherwise. lam speaking irom my own experience and from books. 1 don’t know tba* I have ever seen those red streaks In any other than arsenic cases. If she had taken tartar emetic It would have beeu thrown out too soon. It would not have reached * the alimentary canal In sufficient quantity. • Jis-ezamined in Chief*—l have had two fatal cases of arsenical poisoning Tue one was twenty-flve or six years ago, uud tl\o other not short of that.

The case on. the part of the defence wn.* opened to the Jury by James H Graham, Jr. Ksq., who spoke„ln substance as follows: Gentlejien of the Jury ; It is a beneficent provision t, bat after darkness comes the day— after the storm comes the cnlin. A storm oi halo and malice has been heating down on John Klohl’R bend for long, weary months, and culminated in seven days of, (he bitterest per secution over mau endured. But the storm has 'spent Us fury—now comes the calm, and soon the clear sunshine of truth will dispel the clouds, and the defendant will stand forth an innocent man. as he is. A marked feature or ihe case Is. that all the witnesses lor the Com* momvoalth. with a few honorable exceptions, are either Donors or their relatives. The lead ing spirit is John Doner, who had not been within his daughter’s house for eight ycais . The Commonwealth hud attempted to estab lish two facta, llrst: that Sarah Klehl died ol poison, and second: that It was administered by John Kiehl. * Their theory was that ho did It -because of his lust for Kate Myers ;• but she and John-wore cousins, and only Intimate as cous ins are, It was remarkable that all the Instan ces of Intimacy proved,bad been seen in broad daylight and generally In public. John Kiehl hud luito Myers living at ms house, but wo will prove'that Mrs. Kiehl Insisted, time and again, that Kate should come and do her work, as she was the only one who could do It well.— Then lohn refused logo for a physician; but »o will prove that she had been for mouths under the care ol a.physlclnn, and he told her, when she had these spa.ls. Just to take her medicine and not to go fora pbyslclah, and she, herself, repeatedly declined to have him go for a physician. If Kiehl did tell people his wife would die suddenly—we will prove that, the doctor told her she was suffering from no Incurable d'soase. and would die middenly. We will show by the highest medical'testimoy that the chemical analysis was unsatisfaciory. and that Dr. Hand cannot have definitely deter mined that he found any certain quantity of arsenic. As to the box—leaving out of view the suspicious fact that it had been in posse.s tion of John D®ner for eight days—we will be able to clear It up to the entire satisfaction of Hie jury. And even if Dr. Rand did flndadefi nlte quantity of arsenic In the body, we will bo able to show that Mrs. Klehl’s attending physician had been treating her with arsenical preparations for three or four months, and had given herns mnny as thirty grains of arsenic Dn. W. W. Nevin, RecfiUed.—l didn’t hearany such expresslo’n by Mrs. Kiehl, as that testified by Mary Noaker, ‘ No. Jchn you made iuot<*ke one on Saturday evening.” o Cross Examined.^ l remember the fact of her taking a powder, but don’t roriiombar she said John made her take It. ' I can’t recollect the conversation with Mr. Sadler, and Mr. Ma glanghlln and Mr. Shearer Henry Waltrick, Reca l led.~ What brought mo here first, Kiehl was taken to Jail by B. K Goodyear, on Sunday morning , I couldn’t tell the exact time. Wo came to town between two and three o’clock—was absent from the Jail half an hour ; came back to jail; wont Into tno office ; Just Q 8 I came in ray fatner introduced Snyder to me; I understood him to say this was Mr. Kiehl’s brother, Snyder nodded assent; 1 don’t remember what conversation passed between us. After sitting there a while we walked around-tho Jail, Mr. wnyder following mo: we were talking about Mr. Klehl; says i to Mr. Snvder, you should know more about Mr. Kiehl than I do, you being his brother, and I not being acquainted with nlm very long.— He said he was not exactly his brother but nis step-brother. I said that was nearly the same thing. We kept on talking, and Mr. Snyder said he had been In his time a very wild young man, very rough, but he had reformed and was doing better, and that be ddslred to talk to Mr. Ktohi In regard to the salvation of his soul. Hi* also said he knew Mr. Ktobl to bb a very bud man—that bo would steal, lie and cheat—and had a very bud character from where he cam© irom. Alter standing there some time, we con cluded wo had bettor start home, om we had a good distance to drive. Mr. Snyder getting on his horse, and my father and I got Into the buggy. On the way home ho said Klehl boro a had character in the section in which ho had lived, and he would He. and steal, and cheat.— He tlrst teld me this before wo wont Into the Jail, and second on the way homo, Ho first told mo iu jail about John having raid he bought pulson. Cross Examined— I didn’t first charge Klehl with stealing. I said ho bad gotten a bridle awnv before lor father knew It; they have of fered to pay me for the bridle since this trial began. John Klehl had spoken to me about the bridle some time before ho got It; but did not say anything to mo at the time. Sheriff J,K. Foreman, sworn.—Mr. Snyder said he was Kiehl’s brother, when he came In to my office. He rectified it In a minute, by saying he was his step-brother. Ho asked whether John Kiehl had come then, I said not He said be heard he was arrested, and. he was very anxious to see him. I told him ho had not come yet. and If ho had come it wasn’t very likely he.could get io see him ; that It wasn’t proper any person should see him, and partic ularly on Sunday. Said he had not seen him for some ti me ; he said be was his brother, and ho would like very much to see him. i told him then If he would wait till ho would come he could get to see him. I believe that was all tbe conversation! had with him. Fred Mentz or was under the influence of whisky when'ho was in the Jail. My father and he look a drink together afterwards, B, K.

Mr, Snyder, moved Into my farm in 1807. left it Ist April 1809. John Klelil moved on in April IWIH and left April IS7O. Her John Klehl moved to mv farm on first of A-rll—X missed corn la March - before that. Klehl and Snyder wore on good terms, but the family were not. From September to April I heard the Snyder boys frequently saying: ‘•There cornea the thlor,” “there comes the liar.” I hoard Simon Snyder using that language. Snyders took the corn and charged it on Kielil. Myself, my son Alfred and John Klehl detected Snyders stealing corn. My son is reading law with Newsham & Miller. I never delected •*imon Snyder stealing corn. John Field's character as a good, worthy well-behaved clti zen was os good us any man's In the county. ‘ Cross examined.—l have lived twelve or thirteen miles from him for the hist eighteen or nine teen months. I have seen him twice since, and once In ihejnll. I have heard tumors In the neighborhood In which ,ho HvoJ This was after his arrest, noyer I efore. • It was three or fourdays alter the arrest. Dr, David Cornm an, mom.—l was doing busi ness in Carllsleaa a drugyst; commenced three years ago, and left Carlisle, £ho Intel nn in>ui!icdoncy In the trl cuspidal valve. I changed that and gave her a preparation of one grain of nrsenlc. ono-half grata white ferrntilno. and the extract of beef gall this was In pills. After she used It a couple of days, the fenatr Inotu the pills seem ed to disagree with her, and I stopped oil’, and prescribed a mixture, citrate of iron. Alter the third time of menstruation came around— she cninu hack again, and I directed her one ouneo of Fowler’s solution, a preparation of arsenic- containing four grains to the ounce.— and some of the sumo bitters. She was to taka solution six" drops three times a day, until four or five days before her time of chancing, and then she should increase the dose unlit the symptoms of changing should com© on; then she should stop, and 11 itshould bo as painful as before, she should u*>o the narcotics 1 gave her along. Ami after tnese periods were over, she should commence again ; and after me medicine was all either come back or lot mo know ; and If these spollsshould come on her she should send down. The third tlmoshe re turned was about the middle of March, Du ring that time the powders got all, and Mr. K.. camo down for more ; ho camo about a week afterwards. She wrote to mo, but ho came, for fear X might not got the letter. This Is the let ter ; March 23d, 1871, Dr. J must let you know how I am. 1 thlnkl ain’t any better than I was.

Jacou Zitzer, Address: Shtpponsb’g,Dumb.Co., Vn , Mr Klohl was there frequently before I cot. this letter. About the same day of next any I received another loiter which X can’t ilud. Bn©' .requested hae to send hef ono kind of medi cine. I sent a prescription tip ito bo Ailed in Shlppensburg, as tho drops could not bo seatby roair, Tho prescription was citrate of iron. I hunted for the loiter,Aut couldn’t And it, She told mo she was sick, pain In her side, palpi* tutlou.vomltlng and stek feeling, burnlnglu her bowels. Photoll so bad sbo couldn’t sleep. In a day or two after. Mr. Klebl catno to my office early In tho morning, and told mo about her being so very restless, sick through tho night. 1 gave him then a few narcotic powders. After about a week Mr. Klohl camo back again lor medicine. I gave him medicine thou again. I gavohlm bitters—put a lltllo. magnesia among 1U I directed her lo take those drops again— six drops three times a day—l mean Fowler’s holu lon. That went on until tho middle of April, he came back with Mrs. Klehl and then I proscribed for her—gave her the bitters, colum ba and magnesia and a vlnl ot Fowler’s solution which would lust her until 1 came back from California. It was between two and three ounces—a little bit of Hoffman’s anodyne In It. I told her whenever it came near the changing lime she should increase It by ono drop dally, up to ton or twelve drops, ana if sho fell an un pleasant sensation in her stomach she was te stop it altogether. I told Klohl tho condition of his wife, that she had two causes that would result In deatn if not arrested—the palpitation of the heart, and tbd ovarian tumor.. I told him I would do nil ray .duty. Klehl was at my .oAice often. Ho walaeu in tho morning; came gen* rally before I got up. waited until I opened the door, and after he got. his medicine then wont up In tho cars. In one eye ho got tears, and dlrecllv In the other too. He promised to pay , nio well if I would attend this wife. I treated frmq 15^to^a) '-Igotrn'l©tter-fromherdurlugA’pril<~-HenoraUy.. commenced taking arsenic after tho symptoms of changing was over, and continued until tho symptoms came on. She couldn't change, that was the tn-üblo. I thought tho arsenic would open the fallopian tube, and would contract tho ■Abreß of the heart. I have used arsenic very frequently. This Is a letter from her : • April, 12,1871. Doctor:—l must let you know how I am. getting. I thought ‘those drops you sent mo last, helped me some, but uow about two days that my heart beats more again, and hurts mo eo. I don’t know why U don’t get better. Barau E. XCieiil. Mrs. Kiehl said she followed my direc tions. As she generally got very sick, and used a preparation of arsenic, I thought it would save her and I gave her a powder of belladonna, and opium, and hydrate of chloral. 1 intended that to be used when she had her menstrual pe riods. • I didn’t want her to send around here and there, and told him and her just to use the medicine. I gave her ar senical pills.once, and was obliged tostop them because they disagreed with her.— Mr. Line, his wife and couple of children were the first I had to tend to on arsenic In this county—then a family that lived near mountain, and Jaa Dunlap’s family Lines was acute arsenical poisoning, got by apple butter drops. Mr. Line’s was the first I attended. I got them well; the rest too.jexcept one. Mrs. Lino was sick,after she recovered from the acute attack fora month—thje rest got over It quicker—l thought that was the reason she had to suffer more than bur children* The first stage will produce pain. They, ail had a rash on their face, with vomiting and cramp in stomach, with distention of whole body, face contracted, mouth full of contents of stomach. The sycaptoms I could observe in that case were Vom iting, cramp, contraction of features and jerking, thumping of the heart—moan ing continuously—so they couldn’t give no distinct answer. 'They got over it. I had other cases from the same cause; from the glazing from apple butter jars. The. last case was the Dunlap case, in which I was called to consult with ur* Geo. B* Grove. Several of the family were attack ed. I found arsenic in the system in Lyne case* That mau was attacked ; his mime was Jacob Mouufz. He was affec ted by an affliction of the sciatic nerve —that passes through the hip down the leg. It terminated into a very troub lesome case. Everything we tried failed -the suffering became so severe he could not rest on two or three grains of mor phia. After we had pretty much the ma teria medica exhausted, we concluded to go into an arsenical treatment —gave one pill dally, increasing by ono until he had a grain a day. , He got well and is going about. There was about one grain o£ ar* senie In the first twenty-four powders I gave Mrs. Klehl. Then one grain in 24 pills; then we were obliged to stop. Eight or ten of them were taken.. Then left the ferratine out and made twenty four .more pills, containing one grain, one twentieth of a grain to a pill. I next gave her one ounce of Fowler’s solution, which con tains four grains to an ounce, used six drops three times a day—that was some time in March. About middle of April X gave her 2 or two and a half ounces more of Fowler’s With 2 drachms of Hoffman's Anodyne. That Would be about ten. grains of arsenic in two and a half oun ces, to be used six drops three times, a day,until about four or fiye days near the time her periods were to set in, when B he might increase.it by one drop a day,, not to exceed ten or twelve drops, until she felt inconvenient in her stomach.— John Kiehl came half a dozen times for medicine, when his wife wasn’t with him. Cross Examined. —Tbo first time Mrs. Kiebl came to see me, was latter part of January; sbe was by herself. Tbe second time, as near as I cun tell, was about tbe second week in February, with Mr. Klehl. I think I saw her again about one week afterwards. I think sbe came back In about a week. I think tbe first time I saw her was in tbe latter part of February or Ist of March. Tbe last time I saw her was In April—about the 18ih— John was down too; they were both to gether then If tbe medicine is not paid I put it down, if it is paid Ido not. I don’t keep a book to put down patients to whom I furnish medicine, to guard against law-suits; I have mentioned all the medicine I gave Mrs. Kiebl. They didn’t pay for the medicine they got on the 18tb of April—that I would mark down in tbe book. I would charge all they got from me. I say I have not got John Kiebl charged only with a powder on that day. I baye tbe book here, (Witness produced tbe book.) Tbe note in tbo book, “ polp,” expresses merely be nature of tbe disease. I have a book in which I record tbe name of party, the disease, and tbe medicine. I have nobody in my office now; Dr. Bixler is there some -times. He helped me in case I was too throng, and then be attends to outside pa tients; Xattend to my office myself. I told Mrs. Kiebl as some of the medicine began produce unpleasant effects, sbe should quit taking ft; until it did that she could safely take the dose I gave her. I could not fix tbe day on which sbe was there ; sbejwaa there twice in two weeks, once by herself, and once Mr. Klehl camo along with her. She was down about a month before she was down the last time. The two letters were only a day or two apart and be followed the’lettera tbe next day -1 didn’t give him medicine; I sent him a prescription by mail, after John was down. Ho was down after night, I think be took some bitters along that time. One time in March sbe was down by herself. I don’t remember whether he was with her In March. lam satisfied that on the date I have the charge in my booh, Kiehl ami his wife were both at my office together. I can’t say positively she was there twice from 18th to 24th of April. Kiehl paid me every time he had medicine from me. One bthor time she didn’t pay. This book began April 4th. I can’t say precisely the day they were there In February. I couldn’t find the second letter; I bavn’t seen it since I read it. I hunted for it, but unfortunate ly couldn’t find It. I returned from Cal ifornia lu Juno. I heard of Mrs. Kiebl’s death before I got home. I said I treated her with arsenic, am! wished I bad oaly been at home. I did give her pllla. I didn’t eay In presence of John PeU’er, J. -B* Blxlor, W. F, Horn, and -that 1 gave her ray dyspepsia pills. 1 have no regular formula for making dys pepsia pills or medicine. When she cdme In April, sho fetched the bitter vial along, and tb.o Fowler’s solution I gave her was all done but a few drops. She took sick after a weak near or later. On the 18th of April she complained of the same thing she did In the beginning* but little change for the better* 1 thought the organs of digestion were a little stronger. I thought the arsenic was do ing her good. In the cases I spoke of this morning, they were poisoned by eating apple butter, from the, glazing in the pots. The pot was half empty* They got sick Soon after supper* I saw them In the flrst This was after she was down to er’s the first time. She came home with medicine that time. She had x drops, but whether she bad powders I do not know- The drops were the saino color as she had been taken before. I do net know whether it was the same —I didn’t taste it; She took all tho drops in water. She. didn’t like tho • taste of the medicine,said it was awful ugly to. take; she didn’t like to take it —that medicine made her sick too. She thought tiie drops made her sick. I was there a night and two days. Sho was poorly at the time. Mary Doner didn’t come till after. Then I went home, and didn’t go back until after Mary Donor left. I am not certain whether I was there when Mary Doner was there. It might hove been a week before Mary Doner came that I was. I wanted her to go for one of her sis ters but sho said her mother couldn’t spare them. I was there a week or ton ■ days before her last illness. The drops made her sick at that time. They were strong and unpleasant to take— she took them in wafer; they were In a bottle about the size the one shown me. She said the' drops were very bit ter and unpleasant to take. Those were the drops she took in the cup.— There were two bottles and a box of powders in the cupboard; Both the bottles were of Dr. Zitzer’s medicine.— There was no other bottle of red-color ed drops—there were some' bottles of essence and tincture, but no other bot tles of medicine. Sho was Just taking medicine out of the one bottle and tho box. The bottle and box were stand ing near together. The other bottles were standing further back. She always had a particular place for her bottle.— The other bottles wete empty at that time. There was no other medicine there excepting Dr. Zitzer’s, and one bottje of that was empty. It was be cause it was so bitter and unpleasant she didn’t like to take it. Dr. Robt. E. Rodgers, sworn.~L reside in the city of Philadelphia.
