death was caused from strangula
tion it mlftht have bled more.
Solicitor Dorsey went into a detail
ed cross-examination as to the possi
bilities of assault upon the Phaaan
girl. The questions were all hypo
thetical and Dr. Westmoreland’s opin
ion was that in such cases no un
natural violence was done. Further
ri plies along this line were In favor
of Frank.
Q. Assuming that It takes cabbage
four hours to digest In the normal
stomach, could you look at It and
tell how long It had been there?—A.
No.
Q. Doesn't the medical world agree
that It takes a certain length of time
to digest certain food?—A. Yes. That
is the result of hundreds of experi
ments
Q. Does the medical world agree
that it takes four hous to digest
cabbage?- -A. Four or five.
Q Who gives five hours, doctor?
A It Is generally accepted to be be
tween four and five.
Q. Haven't they laid down the dif
ferent stages of digestion?—A. Not
absolutely
Says He Put Harris on Board.
Q. Hasn't this man Hemeter laid
down all the stages of digestion?—A.
No. He will tell you himself that his
rules are not infallible
Q What Is the length of time be
fore you will find free hydrochloric
acid?—A. There is no way of telling.
y Well, what is the generally ac
cepted theory?—A. About 30 minutes.
Q. In cabbage and wheat bread,
would you expect to find It sooner or
later?—A. That would depend upon
the mastication.
y If we found 32 degrees of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach, how long
would you pay It had been there?—
A. I could not say.
Q. Have you anv personal feeling
toward Dr. Harris?—A. I have none,
one way or the other.
Q. You were on the State Hoard
of Health with Dr. Harris?—A. Yes,
I put him there.
Q. Is he still there?—A. Yes.
y. Were you president of the Col
lege of Physicians and Surgeons when
he was given a chair there?—A. Yes.
y. What did he do?—A. He was the
pathologist.
Arnold took the witneas
y. Will yqu tell the Jury the cause
of your difficulty with Harris?—A. I
preferred charges of scientific dishon
esty against him. He was not re
moved by the board so I resigned.
Says They Had No Row.
Q. Whatever row or fuss you had
has had nothing whatever to do with
your testimony?—A. I never had any
row with him. I preferred charges
against him. The State Board of
Health tried him and found him guil
ty. They did not see fit to remove
him, so I resigned as president of
the board. , , , ,
Q. Which, from the standpoint of
common sense, would be the most r e-
liable, a visual and digital exam
ination for violence, or a microscopic
examination?—A. In post mortem ex
aminations It Is often the case that
abrasions are overlooked.
Dorsev took the witness,
y. Blood when fresh Is easy to wipe
off If you have water, isn't It?—A.
Blood is a very penetrating stain.
Q. How many doctors arc there
on the State Board of Health?—A.
Twelve with the secretary.
Dr Westmoreland was then ex
cused and Dr. John C. Olmstead was
called. Attorney Arnold questioned
h frri.
Q. How Ion* have you been prac
ticing and where did you graduate?—
A. I have been practicing 28 years
and graduated at the University of
Virginia and the University of New
York.
Q. Where did you practice?—A. In
a new York hospital and then in At
lanta.
Attorney Arnold propounded his
hypothetical question on the cut on
the back of the head and received
the answer that Dr. Harris’ opinion
was about as wild a guess as could
be made.
Q. Could such a wound as I have
described to you as appearing on
the back of the head have been in
ti icted after death?—A. Yes if It was
before the blood congealed.
Can't Tell Time of Death.
Q. Could such a blow us I have de
scribed. black and swollen, have been
indicted on the eye after death?—A.
It might.
Q. Look at this cabbage. After a
chemical analysis and the finding of
32 degrees of acidity, could you de
termine with any degree of certainty
how long It had been In the stomach
before death?
A. No, I don’t think there is any
authority, certainly not in English,
which assigns to the stomach any
quality of accurately determining the
time of death.
Q. Suppose cabbage isn’t chewed
like that (pointing to one of the sam
ples which had been well masticated),
might it not lodge in the stomach?—
A. Yes.
Q. How long might It stay in the
stomach without being further di
gested?—A. It might stay ten or
twelve hours
Q. To attempt to state within ten
or fifteen minutes when death occur
red by the condition of this cabbage—
would you consider that a wild guess?
—A. Too wild to be characterized.
Mr Arnold put the usual question
to obtain an opinion from the witness
as to whether Mary Phagan was as
saulted. The answer was that indica
tions were that no unnatural vio
lence was present.
Dr. Olmstead said that Dr Harris’
surmise that violence had been done
the girl immediately before death was
the most extraordinary surmise that
he had ever heard
Tells Time of Digestion.
Dorsey took the witness
Q. The medical w T orld recognizes
that you can determine the degree
and time it takes for the digestion of
wheat bread, doesn't it?—A. Yes. aft
er accurate experiments with :a
known as a test breakfast, from two
to two and one-half hours
Q. A table has been compiled show
ing how long it takes to digest va
rious articles, hasn’t it?—A Yes.
Q. The table states it takes four
hours to digest « abbage, doesnSt It?
—A. The table I saw put cabbage at
four and one-half hours.
Q. What kind of change would you
expect on cabbage an bread within
thirty mimites?—A. It would depend
on the character and quality of fh«*
food.
Deputy Hunting Scalp
Of Juror Ventriloquist.
Pig Bob Deavors, Deputy Sheriff
in charge of the Frank trial Jury,
marched to the courtroom Monday
morning with an aching head and a
grim determination to get even with
Juror A. H. Henslee, whose elusive
voice piloted him against a bedpost
late Sunday evening.
Henslee Is a ventriloquist of no
mean ability, and when the Jury has
been locked up Sunday his talent has
afforded the principal pastime. Yes
terday he worked on Deavors, the
deputy. He had Bob’s wlf P railing
lo him from the street, the hall door
and finally from the door leading into
another room. It was through this
last door that Deavors broke and
encountered the head of a bed with
the full weight of bis big frame.
An impromptu piano concert Sun
day afternoon by Juror F. E. Win-
burn, a stroll under guard late Sun
day evening and the feats of ventrilo
quism broke the monotony of what
would have been a listless day.

One hundred of these.
About-to-be vacationers will snap them up
quickly or we miss our guess. Of those of black
China silk some have Dutch necks, with short
sleeves; others high-neck and long-sleeve, little
black buttons trim them. Those of white habu-
xai silk, plain and satin striped (washable might
be called shirts, plain tailored styles, with low
turn-over and pointed collars.

There are one hundred of these, one as lovely
as another. There are those with double frills of
crepe de chine and those with embroidered
batiste down fronts, having a bit of color on the
low collars and the cuffs. The color is some
times a little narrow border, again it is a matter
of fancy stitching. Some are hand-embroidered.
Also, you will like the way the sleeves are set in.
