KIEHIi'S TRIAL CONTI SUED Flton I,AST WEEK. • XESmCOJfY'OF DB. B. H. BAND, Cross Examined. —The image of the crystals was thrown up on a collodian plate, by Mr. Gihon, the pKbtbgraphqr, • in my presence, ns they ■ ere * n -t—g~ t —g~ xKiiveshOWnthisttfternoon-Over an ounce of arsenic has been given, and the patient rescued—an ounce is 480 ■ grains. . The recovery from ■ the- large doses is very uncertain ; I do not think one man in fifty could take three grains of arsenic and recover. There are ‘‘ many cases when large doses havebeen given and the patient recovered under appropriate treatment. The two anti dotes for arsenic most generally used, are hydrate cesqui oxide of iron and magnc.-ia, not together, blit separately. To these are added bland drin.s, milk and water, eggs, flour and water, gum and water. After symptoms have to be treated according to the case. It was in the middle of the day, between twelve and one o’clock. I received the box from Mr.’ Smith and Mr. Ma glaughliu ; X was at. my college office ; I opened the box the next day, in ray laboratory, wht re all my chemicals are kept; X.got two men out of the dissec ting room to cut the matter up for me as it was very offensive, and I didn’t care to put my hands in it myself. I emptied it out of the bottles into clean, white dishes ; I got the two men to cut it up the same day X opened it; the different parts were kept separate ; the liver and stomach were divided into , four parts—the bladder and heart ex amined as a whole ; I treated the whole of them with dilute pure muri atic acid, cold, one in ten, and put them ■in a warm place, to digest ; they thus, remained until Mr. .‘'hearer’s second visit; I think three or four days after wards ; it was standing in the same place in the laboratory; it was under lock and key, no one having access to • the laboratory but Ayself; it was locked with a chain bolt and a lock, so no one could get in but myself; I was stand ing by the side of the two men during the whole time they were . ongagi d in the operation; that putting in muriatic acid was to break down the organic matter, taking away the structure from if. I got the muriatic acid from Mr. Jacoby, an apothecary and chemist, and tested it ; I have never found ar senic in any commercial muriatic acid, it is so stated in the books, but I have never seen it; next we add chlorate of potash and more muriatic acid, little by little, to burn up the organic mat ter ; I tested" every thing I used in the whole course of the analysis ; I tested chlorate of potash by boiling down on a strip of copper; ! am ! in error in that; I think the chlorate of potash had been tested on ap evious occasion; tested by Marsh’s test, and put away as chemically pure ; it was not tested since 1866 ; I kept th:s operation up until the liquid became clear, and of a light-yellow coior ; I think it was kept up more than one day ; I judge by the effect and. not the time ; I used chlorate of potash from time to time in small quantities, until I was satisfied the effect was produced. The liquid se cured was over a quart in bulk, may have been more ; I'heated it gently until the smell of chlorine no longer appeared ; into one portion of the four I passed a slow stream of sulphurous acid gas, but did not repeat the opera tion with the other three ; I generated the sulphurous acid gas by the action of sulphuric acid on copper turnings ; the acid was some I had in my laboratory ; it was chemically pure, and that I had used on several occasions in. Marshs’ apparatus, and found it to contain no arsenic; I had tested the sulphuric acid, the last course of lectures, the winter before ; I don’t think I used more than half an ounce cf sulphuric acid to produce the sulphurous acid gas ; in Marshs’ test X used all there modification, and always do; In exper imental lectures wo hold the lamp un der the tube half a minute to a minute, and then if we get no arsenical deposit, we proceed to use acid in Marshs’ test, sulphurated hydrogen was passed in a very slow stream through the material now deprived of its organic matter the purpose being to precipitate the ar senic in the form of sulphide ; the snl sulphuerated hydrogen was continued from day to day. until the precipitation was complete,which was ascertained by* there being no further precipitate in pas sing the current of gas through the liq uid; the precipitatewascollectedona fil ter, thoroughly washed with distilled water; the whole operation took nearly* month. ' I began in the latter part of May, andcompleted it about the same day In June, but cannot Say the exact number of days the sulphurated hydro gen was passing through the liquid ; I should think it was about a week, and it was passing interruptedly, not con tinuously ; I generated the gas by the action of sulphuric acid upon sul phide of iron ; the gas teats itself, and throws down arsenic in solution, and if there ha'd been any arsenic in the materials, it wou have remained behind in the bot tle. From the whole stomach there might have been over a quart of liqui< obtained ; the first and second glasses were pour d together, were put in e same filter and washed, then trea e with cold dilute solution of ammonia, the object being to dissolve out the su phide of arsenic and leave behind the sulphur on the filter. The commercial varieties of all the reagents used in this teat are liable to contamination from arsenic ; it is not Impossible to get sul phuric acid and zinc chemically pure ; Bethlehem zinc is pure, and I have had no difficulty in getting pure sulphuric acid; .if there had been any cadmium in the liquid it would have gone down lead, bismuth, antimony, mercu ry, platinum, and others would have been precipitated; tin would have been thrown down ; cadmium is the only substance that would have gone into solution when the precipitate was washed ; the absence of the metals just indicated, had been prevlou-dy deter mined by the preliminary test: Rc-inch’s test- arsenic Is not the only substance supplement TO _ THE AMERICAN VOLUNTEER in solution that would give a deposit on copper. Antimony, mercury, plati num bismuth, gold, palladium, would also give a precipitate uponcopper, of these only a third are volatile by heat antimony, arsenic &nd mercury; of those volatized by heat, arsenic is the only one that gives the'eight-sided crys 'fttlSTmßrcni'#sublimesinglobulcs;.an- timony could not have been sublimed at the temperature used by me, and yet the copp* was free from stain ; I used the temperature of an ordinary small spirit lamp ; the stomach whs very of fensive when I opened it; I put it at once into vessels, treating it with pure muriatic acid, covering it with glass plates ; after filtering the matter thus digested, I found upon the filter, after it was dry, a number of small, shot-like 1 crystalline par tic l cs of a yellow col or ; these must have been sulphide of arsenic, because the only two other met als which give a yellow'.deposit under such test,are cadmium tin and uranium; uranium is very rare ; sulphide of cad mium is soluble in hydro chloric acid ; it could not therefore have been that. The question lies then between tin and arsenic, which is decided by the action of hydro chloric acid and chlorate of po tassia which rendered soluble theyellow globules, which would not have been the case had they been tin. Reinch s was the only test I made for arsenic i n the bos ; Mr. Shearer called to see whether he would be allowed to have another Chemist present when this anal ysis was made; I said that I had no per sonal objection, that I should object to having a stranger associated with me in the investigation, because after the ex perience in the Farmers case, there was dangerthatan interested person might, by apparentaccident, destroy an im portant portion of the material under operation. 1 mentioned the names of gentlemen with whom I would be wili ng to he associated, Prof. Rodgers, Prof. Bridges, Prof. Reese ; I also sta ted that I would require the consent of the District Attorney before X could for mally give mine; my recollection is Mr. Shearer returned the next day I but two, and stated that he was sat isfied to let the matter remain in ray hands ; to the best of my recollection I had no correspondence with the Dist. 1 Attorney on the subject; when I made 1 the examination I was in uttter igno- I ranee what I was going to get; I had a telegraph from Mr. Mpglaughlin “will you undertake an analysis in a case of supposed poisoning;’’ the mat!or ban- I dedto 'rae was very offensive ; it made me quite sick; I’d stick at it as long as | I could, and then go to the door to get fresh air; X never left the room ; I I.ad a case in which no trace of arsenic was found in the stomach, but never had a casein which none was found in the body ; there was no solid substance in ' the stomach. lie-examined in Chief, —I have the remains of the box with me; there was writing on the lid of the box, it was to the purport that the dose was .a tea spoonful three times a day. In the first placelim.de no analytical determi nation of the quantity of arsenic in the liver ; the liver is an organ weighing fourorfive pounds, and the quantity of arsenic in it rarely exceeds a few grains. In destroying this immense mass of organic matter- r .the arsenic would be likely to be entirely lost, or objection made to the large quantity of extraneous material intro duced. "We can therefore only estimate roughly the quantity found in any case. This rough estimate was made on the following basis: If I take a piece of copper foil i square inch in surface, find introduce it into a suspected solution, and find that it is coated, and that after introducing three more such pieces, the last fails to receive a satisfactory coat ;n head. According to Marsh’s test it 'is laiddown that 50,000 -partr-of—argrate-wifl-piyo a distinct | coating. By the fact of a greater rela- tive amount of arsenic in the liver,corn paired with stomach. I thought the arsenic-had been administered'some hours or days before death. - Tuesday Morning. Court convened at 9 o’clock. ■ Mary Doner, recalled.— The day after that was in Sarah’s coffee,'.John Iviehl came on the porch, and said lie was go- ing to town to buy poison for the rats.— He said to Sarah "Shalllgo?” Shesaid “I don’t care.’ Then lie went to Ship penshurg; he didn’t say whether begot it or not, when he came home; nor we didn’t see anything ol it. I think be had a hoe when he came home ; my sis ter never had any children ; Mr. Kiehl owned the property he lived on ; I don’t know how many acres there are. Cross Examined.— This coffee matter was in April; I staid till the 9th of Ap ril, and this occurred about a week before I came home. I didn’t ask him, when he returned, whether he had bought arsenic; he asked Sarah whether he should go.— It was in the forenorn. Simon SnVder— sworn.— l live near, Mt. Rock ; on Sunday I went in the jail to see Mr. Kiehl. I went up to his ceil, and called him three times. He didn't give me no answer. Mr.. Henry Wait rick called him, he came to the cell door; then I talked to him I asked him what he thought of ; if be knew what be was in for; ho said he didn’t; I asked him again if .he didn't know what he was in for; lie said hedidn’t, unless they blamed him for poisoning his woman. I said then to him “ Did you got poison ?” He said he did; said he got poison in I Carlisle for the rats ; I said, “ No, John, | you didn't get poison for the rats, you got it for your wife, didn't you.” He didn’t give me no answer, and commenced to cry. I said then to him, “Didn’t you get it for your woman.” He said “Yes I” I said then "Prepare yourself for the day that comes.” I told Mr. Waltrlck to come and speak to him. On the road going home, X told Mr. Waltrick that Kiehl aaid he had got poison. This was the day Kiehl was arrested. >• Cross Examined.—Me and Sir. Walt rick went into the jail together. I told Mr. Sadler what I knew about this case; they took down in writing what I told them. Sir. Shearer called on me and ask. ed me what I knew about the case. I re fused to tell him. Sir. Wm. Doner sent me down to pump Klehl; Mr. Doner gave me the horse to come down. I didn’t get into the jail by lying. lam John Kiehl’s cousin; 1 am not his brother; I don’t think 1 told the Sheriff I was John kiehl’s brother or his step-brother; I told him when X went in, that he was my cousin; I didn’t tell the Deputy Sheriff I was Kiehl's brother or ids step" brother. I don’t think I told Sir. Wait rick I was Kiebl’s brother or step broth er. There was nobody close to the cell but me and Mr. Waltrick. I don’t think I saw any one standing in the jail bv the railing ; I didn’t tell Sir. Waltrick I wanted to get In to see John on a relig ious subject ; I didn’t tell Mr. Waltrick John was a liar and-thief; I didn’t tell himlhadbeen pretty bad once, but hod re formed now; I didn’t tell Levi Snyder in Plainfield, that the Sheriff and Mr. Wal trick were preserit when John told me this and I didn’t know what I would do if thoy would go back on me; I don’t think I told anybody that; I didn’t tell Sheriff, or under-Sherltt. or Sir. Waltrick, or Mr. Snyder, anything like that. I don’t know Sara'l Skelly; I don't think lam related to the Doners at all. I was living at Plainfield the time I came down tosee Kiehl ; me and Mr. Waltrick were to gether pretty near all day. I think when we came out we talked together; did n’t tell him John would cheat, and lie and steal; I don’t think I told Mr. Waltrick John was a bad character where he came from. I called John loud enough for me to hear him; the first time I told. Sir. Waltrick that John had bought poison, was on the read going home- I said to Jacob Fair that me and Sir. Waltrick went to the cell together. I know the nature of an oath, it means to tell the truth. I don't think I said so to Jacob Fair. I didn’t go to the jail lor the very pm pose of en trapping John Kieh). Wm. Doner want ed to go in and he couldn't—he said I was to go in. .He didn’t tell me why he couldn’t go in; he said ho couldn’t go in; he told me that outan his porch tbeSun day I came down ; he employed me to come down and go in; I went to Doner's on a visit on Saturday evening, and was there all night. I was back and forward at their house; I was not visiting any of his daughters, there were young women there. It was about one o’clock on Sun day bespoke to me about seeing Kiehl, and gave me a horse to come. I got here before Kiehl was brought there. Sir. Doner told me John was to be brought there that day; I do not know that Wm. Doner had been a bitter enemy of John Kiehl; I didn’t get anything for coming down ; he didn’t promise me anything ; ho never promised me anything. He didn’t tell me at what drug store he bought the poison, and I didn’t ask him. Ee-examined in chief .—Old Mr. Kiehl’s first woman was a cousin of my mother’s. Henry Waltrick, sicora-Mr. Kiehl is a full cousin of mine ; Simon Snyder and I went into the jail on the Sabbath Kiehl was arrested. Snyder had started out to Sir. Wm. Doners’ before Kiehl was brought in ; I called him back ; we went down to jail; I hitched my horse at Noaker’s tavern. Mr. Smith, the turn key, left us Into the jail; we went up stairs and were directed to the cell by some persons in the hall. Mr. Snyder came to the cell first; he called Mr. Kiehl by his first name, John, three times. Mr. Kiehl did not come to the door. He stepped to the aide, and I stepped up and called him once, and he came to the door. I asked him if father bad seen him ; lie said not- I told him he was In Carlisle and wished to see him. Then I stepped back and Mr. Snyder stepped up and talked to him. While lie was talking to him, MHHkelly, ofNewburg, was there, and I got into conversation with him. Skelly asked mo to go into ills cell; dur ing tills time Snyder was talking to kiehl; as I was passingKiehl's cell, Hny- der told me he accused Mr. Kiehl of buy- ing poison [ he said Kiehl first denied It, but afterwards acknowledged he had bought .poison for mice or rats, Kiehl wa&. then standing just inside his cell, with bis mouth to the door. Snyder was standing on the steps, leading into the ceU, with > his face turned half around. Their faces were is or 20 inches apart* tsnyder,bad;:l0 _ apeak:n7,lityelou,der itbau commonly, for me to hear,'on account 1 of the confusion in the hall; Snyder was standing with hisside towards Kiehl, and his face turned .towards me; the back of his head was turned towards Kiehl. Cross Examined was a good deal of confusion in the hall; there were live or six talking and laughing. There was great confusion owing to Klehl’s just coming. When I came out of-Skelly’s cell I came back ; Snyder told me, in Kiehl’s presence, that he told him, "Ho, you didn’t buy poison for mice or-rats, but for your wife ;” Xdo not remember that he gave me Kiehl’s answer. Then he stepped back from the cell and told me I should talk to Kiehl if I wished to. I told him I didn’t wish to ; I. hated to speak to the man under the oiroum- stances. Frederick Jlentzer, sworn—l live in Frankford township, about four miles Irom where Kiehl’s father lives. I have known John Kiehl since before he was married I bad some transaction with the Sheriff.; I came to town and went lown there, about the middle of June ; ihere was some other folks went into the jail, and I went along ; walked around the jail and looked into cells until I came around to where John Kiehl was. I shook bauds with him, and asked him how he was; he then said he was well. I then said, is it possible that ! find you here ? He said it was. I then said, "John, is it true that you bought poison and gave it to your wife?” He said he did buy poi son, but didn’t give it to her; he bougbl it for rats. That ended the conversation, I am not related to Kiehl or the Doner family, and have always been on friend-; ly terras with Mr. Kiehl and bis family. Cross Examined— l know the Sheriff’s father; he was in the Sheriff’s office that day; but he was not upstairs- I talked, to him. I remember what I said and did that day; X think I was in a condition to remember; the Sheriff’s father and I had a drink, and I think the Sheriff drank along. I was sober enough to do the busi ness I had to dti. This was some time in the forenoon ; can’t tell what time. I came to town pretty early ; I couldn’t tell bow many drinks I took before I ! went to'the jail; I didn’t keep any ac count. I don’t remember where I stop ped that day. Ido pass a tavern without taking a drink. Re-examined in chief-— I- have a clear and distinct recollection of the conversa tion with Kiehi; I had bailed Leeds, and the Sheriff served the notice on me. X went to see him about it. Mbs. Ann Doner ,sworn— l am mother of Mrs. Kiehi; I went to her house on Wednesday, during her last sickness. I took a wooden box like that from the cupboard. I opened it to see whether it would fall open, and I shut it and put It in my jiooket. I gave it to ray husband,' John Doner. I never put anything, nor saw anything put in it. Cross Examined— l went there between ] eleven and twelve o’clock; I got the box Thursday morning ; It was standing in the kitchen cupboard. The cupboard has a door; it was not locked. X thought it was an empty box, but there was a little bit of white or yellowish powder around the edges like. I didn’t try to get any of the powder off. I shut the box and pul if in my pocket, I can’t tell whether there were any other medicines standing, any vials or dishes. I.don’t remember whether there were any other boxes there or not. I don’t mind of any label on the box; I can't tell, don’t mind that there was’any writing on the box. I don’t re member that there was anything on the box; I had it in my hand, but I didn’t examine that particular. I opened and' looked in it. I just looked in the cup board to see whether the box was there. I don’t remember what was in the cup board; I heard them talking there was suspicion ; they talked about the box, and I went there to hunt it; it was not my business to examine the cupboard. I ! didn’t look any where else for boxes. I knew it was the box Mrs. Kiehi had at ’ our house. My daughter knowed it; I 1 knowed it was the box; I saw what was in the box when she had it at our house; it wasn’t altogether while, it was whitish. The box was full when she opened and showed it to me. She came to our house on Sunday evening, and left on Monday after dinner, and went home. When I came to her house, there was little black pills, and powders left. I gave her pow ders; they were in papers. I don't re member the color of the papers. I can’t justtellwhetnersne vomited after taking the powders I gave her; I can’t tell whether she throwed up directly after she had the medicine, but she throwed up after that. She throwed up violently —sometimes shortly after taking medi cine, and sometimes not. My brother in-law, David Waltrlck, took mo there. John Kiehi was at home when I went there. He went to town once I knew of; I can’t remember what he wept to town for. I don’t remember whether be was at home; I had enough to do with myself and my daughter. I gave the box to John Doner bn Thursday morning. I seen the box afterwards at home in the cupboard at our house; I don’t remember how long it was there ; I don’t believe in witoheu. There was never acalf killed atour house because it was bewitched. I pushed John away from his wife—she fainted. John.Doneh, sworn—l got a box like that on Thursday after we went up to Klehl’s. She gave it to mo iu Kiehi’s house. When she handed it to mo I opened it; there was something in it around the edge. I put the box in the cupboard at our house. On the 21st May I gave the box to Mr. Sadler; I wrapped a newspaper around Hand gave it to Mr. Badler at IClehl’s. I never put anything In it, orsaw anything put in it. Mary and Ann, Emanuel, Satn’l and my wife and myself were all that were at our house. Cross Examined,— l have been .on bad terms with John Kiehi since bis marriage. He didn’t offer to put my borseaway the day I came to his house. I didn't swear at him and say I’d knock him down, If ’ he touched ray horse; I didn’t make any ; threats against him. I didn’t tell any , body that John Kiehi must bo convicted . 1 whether innocent or guilty; I didn’t any at David Waltrlok's that if lohu Klohi wasn’t convicted, it would lose me ray farm. I put this box in the cupboard when I went homo; it was on May Utli. I took, it out on Monday of week after; I think it was on Monday 22d..X showed the box to nobody. 'Da vid Waltriok never saw the box at my, bouse, cupboard was not locked.— hooks and papers, und notions in TheTmpTienfd" " I Bever-thought about. the box until they told me I should fetcli lt ; X can’t mind whether there was any thing written or printed on the box. ’ Mary Doner, Jic-callcd— l saw the box father brought, in the cupboard. I never saw it before. I opened it and looked in it, but never put anything in it. and never saw anybody put anything in it; I asked what Box it was, and they said it was the box Sarah had her medi- cine in. Ann Doner, Recalled—l saw the box father brought from Shippeusburg.in the cupboard at home; I opened it, I didn’t put anything in it, or never saw anybody else put anything in it. She and I were in Carlisle when she got that medicine. That was two weeks before she died. Dr. Bixier gave her the medi cine. X dont remember whether she got the bos from, Dr. Bixier. I was with her at Dr. Bixier’s office. I don’t re member whether there was any direct ions on the box, I do not remember whether there was any writing or print ing on the bos. The powders from Dr. Bixier were in a box. Sam’l Doner, recalled —I seen the box father brought, in the-cupboard; I took nothing out, and put nothing in; nor did I see anybody put anything in. I rather tiiink there was something wrote on, the' top of the box; I think there was written on "every three hours, a half teaspoon- Em anuex. E. Doner, sworn— l am the brother of Mrs. Kiehl. I saw the box father brought from Kiehl's. I did not put anything in It, nor see anybody else put anything in it. , \V. F- Sadler, Esq., sworn—Mr. Do ner called at ray office, some days after his daughter was buried, told me there was a suspected case of poisoning. He brought the box to Kiehl’s house, I took it to Philadelphia and handed it to Dr. Rand. There was writing on the top of the lid—} teaspoon fol three times a day, written in ink- I did not put anything in it or see any thin" putin it. It was in a drawer in my office desk ; at the rear end of the diawer under some papers, It was not .disturbed when I went to get.it. Cross Examined.— l.had it a consider able length of time. I got it about 22d May. I kept it until not very long before August court. We went to Kiehl’s to see if there was evidence to justify us in sending the remains to Philadel phia, to have them analyzed.- I didn’t tell Mr. Shearer I was going. I was determined when* we left there not to prosecute the suit. I may have said to Mr. Kiehl that I found nothing against his son. I was not in any room but front room of house. This was just after the post mortem examination, and before the chemical analysis, and be fore we heard of Kiehl’s declaration of having bought poison. 0. E. Maglaugultn*, Esq., sworn.— I received a box, similar to that one, from Mr. Sadler. There was some writing upon the lid. My impression is it was ‘‘'one-half teaspoonful, three times a day.” Upon receiving the box from Mr. Sadler, I put it in my paper case, and locked it up. It was there until I gave it back to him. I may have taken it and shown it to Mr. Horn, a druggist in town, but didn’t leave it in his possession. I gavejt to Mr. Sadler just before he went to Phil adelphia, after the August court, I think. On the day Mr. Sadler and I were at Mr. Kiehl’s, in company with Mr.s Deeds, who was keeping house for Kiehl, I went up stairs, and examined the bureau,—yve found there several boxes, and a chest which was pointed out to me as Mr. Kiehl’s chest. The chest had a small compartment, with a little lid to raise. In that were some shaving utensils, some other little ar ticles, and a yellow paper tied around with a string, which; upon opening, I found to contain a considerable quanti ty of a brownish colored powder. I took possession of the paper, brought it home with me,- locked it up in my pa per case; it remained there until last Saturday, when I delivered* it to Mr. Horn, a druggist in Carlisle, to be an alyzed ; I hunted in the bureau and chest; the paper was nearly the size of the sand box. Jonathan Hoffman, swpYn. I live I in Southampton township; I saw her on Sunday afternoon before she took sick; she seemed to be in as good health I as I had seen her for some time. The next time I saw her she was on her bed, on Thursday afternoon. She ap- I peered to be very sick. On Friday morning when I was going away, Kiehl called me around the corner of the j house; he asked mo whether I heard whether any of them was going to push this report that was out. I let on I I didn’t know anything about it. On Saturday, after the funeral, he asked I me to stay and take some supper with him. I staid for him, and when I left to go home, he walked with me out as far as the barn. He asked me whether I heard that the Doners were going to push this talk that was out. Then I let on as If I didn’t know anything about it. He said that him and some of the rest had talked of pushing it themselves, and agreed to say no more about it, and ho was satisfied. I said there was a talk up, which he said there was. I told him if I was inhisplaco,and wasn’t guilty, I would push it myself right away. Ho made no reply to that. He said ho hoped there would be some friends so good as to toil him about it. Kiehl owned his place; there was near thirty acres. X understood ho was to get $-1,000 for it. Cross Examined .—l do not know that ICiehl was a good deal indebted. I told him X hadn’t heard anything about it. I had heard some little talk about it, Db. J. B. Bixleb, swam.— l reside in Carlisle; am practicing medicine. I know John Kiehl. I met his wife at Dr. Zitzer’s office, on Ist May last. I gaye her medicine; roehelle salts ; a white powder. I put it into a box she had with her. .There were directions on the box. I believe it was “take half a teaspoonful "three times a day.” I believe the directions'had been on the box before. X didn’t alter the amount of dose. The medicine was to be taken same way. I gave her a solution of 'citrate of iron. I anfeertain it was ro- ChellersaitsTgave-her. —— Cross Examined. —I was attending to Dr. Zitzer’s office at the time. He. was absent. She came into the office; there was a gentleman and another lady, with her. She enquired for Dr. Zitzer;. I told her he was not at home. I was at- tending in his place. I asked her to walk into the consulting office. I made an examination. She complained of weakness, had some palpitation of the heart, some headache. I don’t remem ber that she complained of any disease peculiar to ladies. She had some indi gestion. I don’t remember any other symptoms. I don’t remember that she asked for the same medicine Dr; Zitzer gave her. She came back after going to hotel, and said she had tasted the medicine, and it didn’t taste like that Dr. Zitzer gave her. Idp not remem- ber telling her I had put something in It to disguise the taste. I don’t re member of anything else occurring. The powder was white. Dr. Zit- zer and I have been doing busi- ness for nearly five years. I had ah office of my own, but was at Dr. Zitz er’s office nearly every day. She said she was getting along very well on what she bad taken, and I should give her as nearly like that;as I could. I made the powder fine before I, gave it to her. I took the medicine from the place we keep. our roehelle salts; ro- chelle salts dissolve in water. Ee-Examinedin Chief. —In Dr.Zitzer’s office, we kept our arsenic under look and key. We had a very small amount on hand—there was not much in a vial. We hadn’t as much as would fill a box of that size. I used a grain or so of arsenic during Dr. Zitzer’s absence. I believe he left for California on 24th of April; he returned in June sometime, I got the medicine I- gave Mrs. Kiehl from a drawer down beside the counter. The powder was put loose in the box. There was a little white powder in the box when she brought it to me to be filled. W. P. Horn, sworn. —I reside at 76, South street. I follow the drug busi- ; ness in Carlisle. I spent four years under Dr. Himes-two years of the time as an assistant, had full access to the laboratory, so X could enter and work. ■ whenever! desired. After graduating, I held the position of quantative j Analytical Chemist at the Iron Masters laboratory in Philadelphia. I, was there several months. I received, a r package which I have now in my I possession about 9 o’clock on Saturday 1 night last. The color of the package I was reddish brown. I isolated and I analyzed some reddish fragments of crystals, and satisfied; myself that they I were crystals of some chromate. I re- I served a portion of crystals to show to the I court if necessary. I have them with I me. I also brought with me a crystal of bi-chromate of potash, taken from 1 the store, which the jury can compare with the crystals obtained. The others I I consumed, in making my analysis The determination of my analysis was I that chromic acid was present in some form—either as bi-chromate or' chro- I male. I believe from the color, and a I test which I made, it tp be a bi-ohro- I mate. I did not test it for potash. It 1. has all the physical appearance of bi- I chromate of potash. ’ As a matter of I experience I can say nothing for their I medical properties. Bi-chromate of I potash is a violent poison. It' would b > I difficult to say what would be the taste I of bi-chromate of potash. The package has all the physical appearances, and , I chemical, as far as I have tested it, of lan ink powder. I found upon dissolv > I ing it thoroughly in water that it gave . me a deep blue-black color. These 1 1 three tubes contain the results of my [ analysis, in testing for chromic acid, by . the silver test, the lead test and the [ 1 Bareter test. Cross Examined. —I do‘not undertake to say that this is chromate of potash. Chromic acid is the poisonous part of the compound. There was an organic substance in it which, by its physical appearance, I judged to be extract of logwood. I couldn’t say whether the compound as it was handed me was poisonous. I put up ink powders, of bi-chromate of potash and extract log wood, and also a small portion of yellow prussiate of potash, I sold the ink powders I made to a one-armed peddler.

He seemed to dread go ing to jail a good deal. I told him there was nothing so terrible in going.to jail, if he was innocent; and if he had given his wife no poison, they would not be likely to find any at the anayisis. He then just made this remark: “My God ! suppose some one else gave her poison.” I told him that would be a little rough on him, if be couldn't make it appeal he did not give it to her.
