sickness, and the proceedings were sus
pended while she was assisted to a settee
Wear a window, just. inside the bar.-
She bad hardly reached the seat when
she fainted and became pale as a
death. Her daughters Amelia and
Maggie immediately went to, her
side, and„ thinking her dead, com
menced sobbing and crying loudly,
creating intense excitement. The large
crowd of spectators outside the bar man-
Mated their feeling of anxiety and ex
citability, by rising to their feet and
eagerly leaning forward to view the
scene, while those inside attempted ,re
storation by bathing the head of the
sufferer. She was finally , resuscitated"
sufficiently to move along by the aid of
of her daughters,- and was thus - 'taken
into another room of the building. An
nie also left the stand, and - followed her
sliders:end mother out of the room.
The Court remained quiet for a few
minutes, when Mr. Mitchell, counsel for
the _defense, moved an adjournment,
tendered necessary by this episode.
Judge McGtiftin,•however, thought the
attack merely a temporary one, and
1 called:upon Dr. A. M. Lyman and Gen.
Purviance from among the spectators to
examine and report upon the condition
of the prisoner and, as to the probability
of her ' recovering sufficiently for the
trial to probeed during the afternoon.
These gentlemen retired, and in a short
time sent back word that she was some,
what revived-and would be able to be
present in about twenty Minutes.
, Mrs. Shugart was brought in at the ex
pirption of thiAtime, and stimulants pro
cured to be ue log in case of a second at
tack. Before proceeding with the trial,
Judge McGuffin ordered a large reeking
chair to be seliured, 'which was done and
the prisoner placedin ' it clahe to a
.window.. i f ' '

Mr. McCandless,-( : for the Common
wealthj-=New, •11* the\Court 'pleese. we
propose to prove here that the witness
testified before - the inquest that her 1
father was . well. and that she didn't
know why ho had not eaten more of the
dinner: liow she has said that her
father emnplained of being unwell when
she took him his dinner—that he gave
that as a reason for not being hungry,
and that he told her to "go home and .I'ff
be Mere sem i ' This, if your Honor
please!, Is a 'flat contradiction _ and we
are hurprised in our witness. We there- .
, fore claim as alight, according to law, to
examine ODD propose in doing so to
ask ber w hether she did not state theee
things ?as we have quoted, in her teal-,
mony infer° the inquest. - , .• J
Mr. Thoitipson, tor the defence—We
object to this. It la a crcws-eximinatlon,
and the Commonwealth have no right-Mr
crodseexamite their own witnesses. I
ask that the proposition be put in writ
iD
he Court decided that he CODIIOII
- had the right to put such a ques

tive way.. This was merely refreshing
the recollection as to what had been said,

INTERN - 13w WITS THE PRISONER.
Sunday evening we called at the jail
and were permitted to have a conversa
tion with the prisoner. She had been re
moved from her close cell into the main
room of the building, and being unable
to sit up was provided with a comfortable
cot, through the kindness of Sheriff
Storey. She appeared very pale and ex
hansted, but expressed herself as being
somewhat better than on Saturday,. and
expected to be strong enough to attend
Court on Sionday, as she was anxious for
the trial to proceed. We were informed
by the officers of khe jail that. when she
returned from, the Court on Saturday
she remained tinconscious for sometime.
In response to our inquiries she said she
could remember nothing from the time
of leaving the court room on Saturday
'until she awaked to consciousness and
found herself lying in the bed several
hours afterwards. Saturday morning
she ate scarcely anything for breakfast,
and, feeling quite sick, took some medi
cine, in the hope of being revived-suffi
ciently ,to get through the dayj Which,
however failed to have the desired effect.
1 r345_,
•She co versed quite frealy, and during
the con *nation at times became very
much mated. She firmly asserted
her inn nee, and said if she died she
did not ear ,but that heaven would be
her home. Inconversation further she
it
saidshe new nothing of the crime of
which s e was charged. The poison had
been bo ght for the ,purpose stated by
Annie, and What bedtime of it afterwards
she did not know. She had lived agree
ably With her hiisband twenty-five years;
had raised a large familyiand always en
,deavored.to do, right with them. She
did not know who arrested her, or why,
she was arrested; until Some time after
she had been in „fall, when the nature of
the charge against her was made known.
She attributes the whole affair to a fam
ily 111-feelijag in regatd tO the settl ement
t
of ,her hnsband's estate, about which
some of her relatives became angry and
instituted the proceedings against her.
Aktimes she said she fdels depressed and
discouraged, but has been sustained by_
iihr faith in the ultimate success of the
right.
She seemed quite pleased to see visit
ors. •She talks English with a German
accent, quite observable ' but not disa
greeable. i.. She came from Germany
when she was. about nine years of age,
land has since, for the most part, been re
!ding
_in Butler. She is evidently
:ions to have her case.fiecided by the :
w, and in all her conversation seems to
ticipate an acquittal.

iTrom The Pittsbargn Medical Ncws. j
It b Plain.
When we consider that every disease
snakes its arst attack upon the blood, and
that every different disorder Imparts its
own peeuliar stainp to the urine, it is
plain that we need only know what that
peculiar stamp is, to be able to prontiunce
upon the nature, extent and character of
the disorder with undeviating certainty.
We have been in the active piaetice of
this system, at No. 132 Grant street,
Pittsburgh, for over twenty years, during
which time we have treated more than
..sixty Ihoustkd eases, thus including every
character and variety of diseases, and can ,
say with Professor Braithwaite,"that we
1
can arrive t) a more accurate nowledge
liai — pi - killag a - generality of diseases from
examining Wurine than from anyother
system;" , also with Dr. Front, "that
whatever May be the disease, the urine
seldom' fails in furnishing a clue to the
principles upon which it is to be treated." .
"We are well aware, however, that some
practitioners are opposed to this system
of diagnosis.
This arises entirely from their incom
plete investigation of the subject. From
these we court an examination of its
merits, and promise to render full satis
faction in the discrimination of every
case; and prove to every intelligent phy
sician who will make application, that-
our course is a scientific one. -
This we have already donein hundreds
of Instances, not only with the Students
of Medicine at the College, when lee
turlifibut with the learned Professors
of cal Colleges, and cleverly educa
ted- hysiclans froM nearly all parts of
the Union, who have been members of
our class at the University, or witnessed
our experiments at the office.
One physician says: "it is the most
complete system known."
Another says: "I would rather depend
p44 :1:
u yew diagnosis by the urine, than
u most physicians with the patient at
ha ~ ; ,
.An e ther says: "To argue that such In=
vests dons are idle; are as absurd as un
fortn ately they are frequent. But there
-Is, ho ever, one consolation in this mat
ter, , hioh is, that those who are most
readk to urge this view, and to decry its
ntlit v, are such as are least acquainted
with , ts details." -
_ Salim it to say, that our daily practice
and experience have proven these facts,
and we advise all those laboring under
'chronic affections particularly, to. avail
, themselves of its advantages.
Those living at a distance by sending
, a vial of urine for examination, ow have
the necessary medicines sent then.
