I am keeper of jail iu this borough ami
have had Dover under my custody since his

turned and delivered me a letter in an en
velope ; don't know whether it is the same
lis the one shown me. Sometime before
Cluistuias had conversation with Tom Doy
cr ; wish to stand iirm to Doyer. If it is
my solemn duty to tell all that passed he
Iwien us will do so. On Thursday aflerhis
arrcsl, I went to leave the cell, he called
me back ; he asked mo to come back nnd
see him, and asked me to got him some
ri-i.d.ng matter. Furnished him some that
I thought would be acceptable. When I
went back he saitl he liked the Poult, and
had read it through; he talked of Christ
inas ami Thanksgiving, lie said its ipiite
a change, and sa.d, "Ike, minder will out,"
(placing his hand on his bum, he said that
the " innocent shan't sillier." Some days
after, bo said to me. talking of thu ap
proaching holidays, that it would be a very
dicary Christmas to him. If he livetl to

at home, he saitl that far, and liroku oil'
suddenly; hi-saitl to Hie, are you Mthpte
naetl, 'no, Tom, lam not, keep your own

Clue he asked me what the general impics

what I believed to be the tiulli, anil said
"Tom, the piejudiccs of the people are
against you.'' He asked me w hat I thought,
I told 1 1 1 li i 1 thought he was the victim of
ciicuuistaiices ; begot up anil came over to
where 1 was sitting, and said, " if ever I

will out. They might magnify it ; 1 motion
cil for him to go lothesloieaiiil hum it ; he
took it up in his hand and went to the
stove. That is all, to the best of my knowl
edge. Tl icu I took the letter up for Dr.
Aid; I unlocked the door and said Tom
hcie is a letter Dr. Aid gave me for you.
He said are there any new developments?
Didn't w ish to reveal what 1 knew and said
Tom, I think not. Ho saitl to me I wish I

experts from Philadelphia, who were anx

witnesses weie thwu examined for the de

Professor V. Maui y, sworn : I n aide at

the surgeons of Philadelphia hospital, and
lecturer iu Jell'ersim College; am iu active
practice, anil bine been since 1802; have
coii-tautly used Chlorofoim during tho last
!t years, piefcri ing it lo any other anas
llictie. In 1MI17 I had a record of over 800
eases, in which I had administered it, ami
have eoiitintii d its use since that time ; gen
erally give it on a folded napkin, hold eloso
lo Ihe nose or mouth, all restrictions about
the bony being n moved. Quantity admin
ivlertd is varied from J drachm up iiccoid

leiidi m y is invariably to resist il, especial
ly if Ihe pnlietit has any fear regarding it.
1 experimi nled on sleeping persons; in 0
eases all awoke. Chloi oftn m vapor is very
heavy, much more so than atmospheric air,
ami when poured on the Hour Ihe vapor will
go out under the cracks of the door, hav.
lug no tendency to raise as high as a per
son's head. If an immense quantity was
used, it might rise to (he ceiling. I have
n icd pouring it on the 1 1 nor j never tried
louring it over a lied. I think a quanti
ty pound on Ihe bed of sleeping person!
would cause insensibility. It is inioss
ible to ileti et the elfcels of chloroform by
a physical examination. Cross-ex. Main

Chloroform was poured upon the bed clothes,
