The questions were all hypo thetical and Dr. Westmoreland’s opin ion was that In such cases no un natural violence was done. Further replies along this line were in favor of Frank.

Doesn't the medical world agree that It takes a certain length of time to digest certain food?—A. Tee That If 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 live hours, doctor.— A II 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 tile length of time be fore vou will find free hydrochloric acid?—A. There Is no way of telling. Q. 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?—\. That would depend upon the mastication. ... Q If we found 32 degrees of hydro chloric acid in the stomach, how long would you say It had been there.— A I could not say. Q Have you any personal feeling toward Dr. Harris?—A. I have none, one way or the other. o You were on the State Board of Health with Dr. Harris?—A. Yes, 1 put him there. Q, Is he still there?—A. Yes. O. Were you president of the Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons \vhen he was given a chair there-;—A. Yes. Q. What did he do?—A. He was the pathologist. Arnold took the witness. U. Will you tell the jury the cause of your difficulty with Harris?—A. I preferred charges of scientific dlshon esty against him. He was not re moved bv the board so I resigned. Says They Had No Row. Q. Whatever row or fuss you had has had noth'ng 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 gull- ty. They did not see fit to remove him, po I resigned as president of the board _ . . - Q. Which, from the standpoint or common sense, would be the most re 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. Dorsey took the witness. Q. Blood when Tresh is easy to wipe ©fT if you have water, isn’t it?—A. Blood is a very penetrating stain. Q. How many doctors are there on the State Board of Health?—A. Twelve with the secretary. Dr Westmoreland whs then ex cused and Dr. John C. Olmstead was called. Attorney Arnold questioned hfm. Q. How long have you been prac ticing and where did you graduate?— A. 1 have been practicing 28 years and graduated at the University of Virginia and the University of New York. « a „ . , Q. Where did you practice?—A. In a new York hospital and then in At lanta. _ a 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 appe Ing on the back of the head have been in flicted after death?—A. Yes if it was before the blood congealed Can’t Tell Time of Death. Q. Could such a blow as I have de scribed. black and swollen, have been inflicted 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 ha'! ever heard. Tells Time of Digestion. Dorsey took the witness. Q. The medical world recognizes that you can determine the degr- ** and time it takes for the digestion of wheat bread, doesn’t it?—A. Yes. aft er accurate experiments with is 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 cabbage, doesn5t it? •—A. The table I saw put cabbage at ^four and one-half hours. Q. "What kind of change would you irpect on cabbage an bread within birty minjitea?—A, It would depend on the character and quality of the food. Solicitor Dorsey held up the two phials containing the cabbage taken from the stomach of Mary Phagan and that cooked by her mother and taken from the stomach of a normal person after one hour Q. What sort of comparison would you make as to how long these samples had been In the stomach?— A. The experiment is a little delicate. Stomachs vary too much. Q. What element would you have to have to properly express it?—A. I would have to know what amount was taken out and what amount was left in the stomach. Dorsey Interpolates. Dorsey: “Just a moment—let interpolate this How does it make any difference what amount was taken out? Just tell me from the cir cumstances I have enumerated If you would not say this specimen, the me I say had been in the stomach only 60 minutes, would have been in tho stomach a shorter length of time?—A. Yes. The one with the larger pieces under those circumstances would have been in there a shorter length of time. Q. You say you are a doctor >f medicine and a general practitioner. Are you an expert?—A. I will say this. I am not an analytical chemist, but I am familiar with it and in general practice get the benefit of wide experience. Arnold took the witness. Q. After death, could any physician, even an expert, tell how long things had been in the stomach?—A. it would be the very wildest guess. Dr. Ilmstead was then excused, and Joel Hunter, an expert accountant, was called. Arnold questioned him. Q What is your business?—A. Public accountant. Q. How long?—Fifteen years. Q What position do you hold?—A. I am chairman of the State Board of Examiners. Q Did you examine those reports, the n-nanclal sheets?—A. Yes. Q. Did you see Mr. Schlff?—A. Yes, he gave me the data. Long Time to Make Report. Q. What did you do?—A. In order to find what length of time it would take to make out one of those sheets I made all the calculations. Q. Did you find any mistake?—A. Yes. Q. What was It?—A. A trifling error in a decimal point. Q. Did you find any other errors? —A. No. Q I will get you to tell how long it took to make out this report?— A.. I first made the examinetlon with the data, and then without the data. I figured 150 minutes as ♦he quickest possible time. To do any checking at all, It would take from three to th^ee and a half hours. The expert witness then went in to an extensive explanation of the different item* on the financial sheet Attorney Hooper took him on cross- examination. Q. If you were making up the re port as un original proposition, would the same data have been furnished to you?—A. I could not say. Q Well, much of this work with which you were unfamiliar and had to trace down, he had at his fingers’ tips, did he not?—A. I have only figured a reasonable minimum time. I can not say what Mr. Frank had Is such that it is notetaoinshrd at his fingers’ tips. The state ment is such that it is not subject to sub-proving. You can’t prove it as you go along If that could be done, It could be made out quicker. Q You have estimated, in other words, how long It would take him? —A. No. I made It out to show how- quick I thought it could possibly be made out. Q If a man made It out in an after noon, he would not have time to see a baseball game, w-ould he?—A. I would hardly think t»o. Court then adjourned until 9 o’clock Tuesday morning. Deputy Hunting Scalp Of Juror Ventriloquist. Big 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 wife calling to him from the street, the hall door and finally from the door leading into another room. It was through this Inst door that Deavors broke and encountered the head of a bed with the full weight of his 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. 30,000 at Templar Conclave in Denver DENVER.
