Q. And that is a* definite as you
can fix it?—A. Yes, sir.
Q. Did you know the women be

Q. Can you describe them?—A. No.
"Come down."
City Detective S. L. Rosser took the
stand.
Q. Since April 26, have you been
engaged In this case?—A. Yes.
Q Did you visit Mrs. Arthur White
subsequent to that date?—A. Yes.
Q At what time?—A. Monday, April
28.
Q. Did she say anything about see
ing a negro at the pencil^ factory Sat
urday?—A. No.
Q. What was the first time she
mentioned to you seeing a negro at
the factory?—A. May 6.
"I want to record an objection to
that, your honor,” said Rosser.
Rosser took the witness.
She Made Statement.
Q. Did you ask her?—A. No; but
she made a statement.
Dorsey took the witness on redi
rect.
Q. Did you take anything to Dr.
Claude Smith?—A. Yes; some chips.
Q Are these the chips?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you make a search of the
areaway around the elevator?—A.
Yes.
Q. Did you find anything like this
(showing the bludgeon alleged to have
been found by the Pinkertons)?—A.
No.
Q. Would you have found it?—A.
Yes.
Attorney Rosser took the witness
again.
Q. Don’t you*know this roller has
been in that factory two years?—A. It
may have been, but it was not on
the first floor when we made our
search.
St*te Win* Ruling.
Q. You made a good search?—A
Yes.
Q. Do you know these are the same
chips?—A. Yes, I am sure of that.
The witness was excused.
Dorsey addressed the court:
"I don’t know whether we tendered
that bloody shirt or not. If we did
not, I want to tender it now. I also
w ant to enter these chips."
Attorney Rosser:
"They haven’t been identified.”
"They were identified by Detective
Starnes and Chief Beavers,” said Dor
sey.
Judge Roan ruled that he would let
them go to the Jury.
Dorsey:
State’s Cast Nearly Finished.
"Now. 1 want the cash book and
the bank book of the National Pencil
Company.”
Arnold said they would be fur
nished.
Dorsey:
"I want it understood as soon as
Dr. Harris is able to complete his tes
timony tTH* State Is ready to rest iis
case.”
“Mr. Dorsey,” said Arnold, "will you
tell Mr. Dalton not to leave. Wc may
want to recall him.”
Judge Roan declared a recess until
Dr. Harris could reach the court. Hi
said it would be about 10 o’clock.
Dalton Recalled for Moment.
Dorsey recalled the witness.
Q. Were you ever in the pencil fac

Q. Did you go to the factory with
her?—A. Yes.
Q. Where was Frank?—A. In his

basement.
Q. Did he know you were there?—
A. Yes.
Q Did Conley know you were there?
A. Yes.
Q. Who else?—A. The night watch
man at one time.
Court then had a recess until Dr.
H. F. Harris, who was excused from
the witness stand Wednesday on ac
count of illness, could arrive in court.
The recess lasted for more than an
hour. Dr. Harris, when he arrived
upon the stand, was questioned upon
cross-examination by Attorney Reu
ben Arnold.
Q. Unfavorable circumstances some
times retard digestion, don't they?—
A. Well, that is a very grave matter,
and there is so little data on the sub
ject it is hard to answer.
About External Circumstances.
Q. You would not say then that
external circumstances, some undue
mental excitement, might delay di
gestion?—A. I really don’t know.
There was an old Roman proverb
that a person should take a w'alk aft- I
er eating. Others say sleeping after
a meal aids digestion.
Q. Then there is no set rule for di
gestion? Everybody is a rule unto
themselves?—A. Not altogether. The
average normal stomach Is about the
same in digestion.
Q. There is no indication on the
outside of the body that would indi
cate how far digestion has gone?—A
None whatever.
Q. Don’t the pulse or temperature
show indigestion?—A. No. Very many
people have indigestion several years
and don’t know it. They don’t even
feel it themselves.
Q. How long does the stomach take
to free Itself when it is full?—A. That
ha«* been investigated rather thor
oughly. but it varies. I would say
about 7 1-2 hours.
Q. How long does it take some sub
stance that the stomach does not di
gest to pass out?—A. That is hard
to say. They probably pass through
in a foreign body.
Q. How long would it take?—A.
That depends The stomach doesn't
like to free itself of meat until it is
emulsified. Then It goes out verj
freely.
About Digestion of Cabbage.
Q. That is Just the point. Does
the stomach emulsify' cabbage or
corn?—A. Oh, yes; there is always a
constant churning motion.
Q. How about corn?—A. It might
pass through without emulsifying.
Q. Peas?—A. Yes.
Q. You would not attempt to enu
merate what vegetables would pass
through the stomach to the intestines'’
A. No, I would not.
Q. Is it not a fact that the first
knowledge of digestion comes from
that Canadian case?—A. Yes.
Q. Is it not a fact that the only
experiments before that time were
♦
made on rabbits and other animals
for vegetables, and animals for meat?
A. ^ es.
Q. Is there any animal that eats
everything that man does?—A. Yes,
the swine.
Q. Any other?—A. I rather think
the ca» does.
Q. Well, isn’t the wildcat a carniv
orous animal strictly?—A. I don’t
know. I never associated with one.
Q. You will admit that the experi
ments along this line are very limited
with the exception of that Canadian
case?—A. Yes.
Processes Not All Understood.
Q. It is practically in its infancy?—
A. Well, 1 would not say that. We
are fairly familiar with the various
juices and the process of digestion.
But there is still much to learn.
Q. Just what part does the mouth
and saliva play in connection with
the stomach and the gastric juices,
and the lower bowels? Is not this
something that is not definitely
known?—A. Yes, that is true.
Q. Don’t you practice vivisection on
these animals?—A. Yes.
Q. And you have never done it on
humans, and you don’t know how the
processes take place in the human
like you do in the animals?—A. Ex
cept with .the stomach.
Q. What is the hardest vegetables
to digest? I mean, leaving your ex
periments and speaking from the
viewpoint of science.—A. I don’t know
that science has ever determined that.
Q. Isn’t cabbage regarded as one of
the hardest vegetables to digest?—A.
I probably have heard that. It may
be that after cabbage has gone
through the stomach, trouble may be
caused in the small intestines that
may be what has given the geenral
idea that cabbage is hard to digest.
Q. Didn’t you say when you first
testified that you couldn’t tell any
thing about the bread in the stom
ach?—A. I don’t think I made that
statement.
Mr. Arnold read his testimony
previously given.
Dr. Harris: "If I said that, I did
not mean it in that sense. I meant
that you could tell nothing about It
by observing with the naked eye.”
Q. You said it was impossible to
state absolutely how long that cab
bage had been in Mary Phagan’s
stomach?—A. I meant I could not
state within a minute.
Q. Could you tell within two min
utes?—A. No, not within 3. or 4, or 5.
Probably not within 10 minutes. Buf
I could tell that it was somewhere
between 30 and 45 minutes.
Q. Doesn’t it all depend on how
much digestion is delayed?—A. To an
extent.
Q. All you are attempting to say,
then, is that the process of digestion
had only gone on a certain length of
time?—A. Yes.
Q. Didn’t you say that certain cir
cumstances retard digestion?—A.
Yes. but I didn’t say that anything
could retard the flow of the digestive
juices. No one has ever shown that
anything could retard the process of
digestion.

Investigator, Mr Lind is commissioned
to act as a peacemaker between the
leaders of the various revolutionary
factions, but it is doubtful if Huerta
will allow an alien to act in such a
capacity.
Huerta Has New Slogan.
"Mexican affairs for Mexicans,” was
the laconic remark made by President
Huerta to-day to his followers In Con
gress who called at the national pal
ace.
Previous to the statement Issued to
day by the Mexican Minister, the
United States Embassy had received
the following note from Secretary of
State Bryan:
You may say to the Mexican
Foreign Minister that Governor
Lind comes to Mexico on a mis
sion of peace, and that President
WMson feels that his presence
there will* contribute tow’ard a
settlement of existing difficulties.
The Mexican Government should
await the President's communi
cation and not give weight to
misrepresentations published in
sensational newspapers
Not only in this city but through
out the entire republic increased an
tagonism toward Americans is being
shown Huerta and his advisers be
lieve that if war should be declared
it would have the result in making a
unit of all the revolutionary bands so
that a solid front could be presented
against any foreign foe.
Within the past seven months the
Government has placed orders for
100,000 rifles and a commensurate
supply of ammunition, as well as
mountain and field guns.
Steel, Not Grape-Juice
To Back U. S. Policy.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—The first
show of hostility to Special Envoy
Lind, the President’s personal repre
sentative, now speeding 1 on his way to
Mexico, came from Mexico City to
day from unofficial sources, and con
firmed some of the early suspicions
of Washington officials.
It was expected that General Huer
ta would make some move to block
the movement toward mediation with
the Constitutionalists, which has been
devised by President Wilson.
If the de facto government, how
ever, should deliberately aim to poi
son Mexican public opinion against
the good offices of the United States
even before the arrival of Mr. Lind,
President Wilson will realize that he
has been dealing too Justly with Gen
eral Huerta and that a more drastic
policy is required.
If the Federalists decline to take
Mr. Lind’s mission seriously, the
President will find his well-inten
tioned plan of restoring peace in
Mexico blocked in advance.
General Huerta probably will find
that, if he thus Insults the White
House, there will be steel in American
foreign policy, as w r ell as "grape
Juice."
The White House is cognizant of
the fact that it can, with the exercise
of a little diplomatic pressure, oust
General Huerta from the Presidency
in a short time. It is this club which
the United States may wield before
intervention becomes a possibility. If
Mr. Lind is to go to Mexico City with
the entire capital hostile to him be
fore his arrival, owing to Huerta’s
influence, officials believe the United
States will not be slow* to adopt re
taliatory measures.-
Secretary of State Bryan received
to-day a telegram from Mr. Lind
stating that he arrived at G&lveqton

Americans Shot in
Sacking of Durango.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—M. A
Leach, a business man of San Fran
cisco. told Secretary of State Bryan
to-day a thrilling story of the sack
ing of the city of Durango by Revo
lutionists on June 18. w’hich he wit
nessed.
The entire city was looted, he says,
and German, French and American
stores were burned, entailing a prop
erty loss of more than $5,000,000.
Scores of Mexicans were shot down
and dragged through the streets.
Roger Palmer, an Englishman, em
ployed by the Mexican National Rail-
wray, was killed because he failed to
open a safe.
Carlos Bombrandls, mining man,
and L. W. Elder, both Americans,
were wounded by a bomb used to
force the doors of the McDonald In
stitute, where many of the foreign
ers had assembled for protection.
H. W. Stepp, an American civil
engineer, was shot through the leg
because he failed to deliver 500 pesos
he did not have.
Leach says a number of w'omen
sought safety in the archbishop’s pal
ace but the bishop was taken pris
oner and held for ransom of half a
million pesos. Hundreds of women
and girls were outraged.

prevent the passage of tax bills. Th«
Idea was this:
If the Hixon- Searcy bill were
brought out from the committee and
consideration of it begun by the
House, it would precipitate a "wet"
and “dry" fight pure and simple. De
bate would naturally wax fast and
furious, and the members w’ho oppose
tax reform measures figured that the
discussion of the bill would occupy
the time of the House until adjourn
ment, or at least create such a spirit
of unrest and antagonism that the
ranks of the tax reformers would he
broken.
Then, when Speaker Burwell ruled
the Kidd resolution out of order Dn
the grounds that it asked a physical
impossibility of the Temperance Com
mittee, the strength of the combine
was directed against the presiding
officer of the House and his bills,
and the bills of others that he fa
vored, and the bills of the other
members who opposed the resolution.
Controls Half of House.
The combine at present controls
probably half the votes of the House,
and renders impossible the passage
of any measure that requires a two-
thirds vote, and makes exceedingly
difficult the passage of any measure
requiring even a bare majority. Wed
nesday afternoon the combine dis
played strength enough to defeat two
of Speaker Burwell’s bills, both con
stitutional amendments requiring a
two-thirds majority to carry. They
were administration bills, and the
word has been passed among the
members of the House that Governor
Slaton favored them and desired that
they be enacted. Both w'ere over
whelmingly defeated.
The first bill to feel the strength
of the combine was Burwrall’s meas
ure submitting to the qualified voters
of the State a proposition to amend
the constitution so that the school
levy of any one year should not ex
ceed 2 1-2 mills, in addition to the
regular school fund provided by the
Constitution.
Two of His Measures Beaten.
Though the Speaker himself took
the floor and explained the purposi
of the bill—that it was merely one of
a series of bills designed to place
the State on a sound business basis
—the bill was defeated by a vote of
106 to 67, lacking by 17 jyotes
the necessary twra-thlrds majority.
The other administration bill, a com
panion bill to the one defeated first,
submitted a proposition that the an
nual levy for pensions should not
exceed 1 1-2 mills. It was defeated,
the vote being 79 to 79. It lacked 44
votes of having a two-thirds ma
jority.
Unless the combine can be broken,
the result will be that little or no
legislation of importance will be en
acted during the balance of the ses
sion. It means that the Legislature,
having already attained the name by
doing less than any Legislature in
years, will go down In history as a
Legislature that did absolutely noth
ing of importance.
