Widow Scores First as Legal Bat tle, Long Delayed by Frank Case, Is Renewed, An attack on the test made hy Dr. II. F. Harris, State Chem ist, upon the body of Joshua B. j Crawford was made by Dr. J. M. McCandlese, an analytical chem ist, in a statement of interroga- | lories submitted in the hearing | of the famous Crawfrd will con troversy, Mndav morning when the case was resumed before Auditor James L. Anderson, aft cr a long delay on account of ! the Frank trial. Dr. McCandless charged that | the test was incomplete because | a color test instead of a quanti- j tative analysis was made. Following Immediately after the * testimony of County Physician Dr J. W. Hurt that he had given Joshua B. Crawford morphine during his Iasi Illness and denying that there were any symptoms of opium poisoning the testimony of Dr. McCandless was regarded as strengthening material^ the defense which is being built uj by the atomeys of Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, who is accused of causing the death of her husband. Dr. McCandless said that the brown color revealed in the test made by Dr. Harris after the body of Craw ford had rested in the grace for four years, might have resulted from pois ons developing out of decomposition of the body. Not Unusual Amount. Even If the color was caused by the presence of meeonlc add, a product of opium, the amount stated to have | been found by Dr. Harris—one- fiftieth of a grain—was in accordance | with the amount contained In the cough syrup and hypodermic adminis tered under the direction of Dr. Hurt to the wealthy farmer, according to Dr. McCandless. The only reliable test was the quantitative one, the inter-, rogatories declared. Joshua B. Fra wford left am estate valued at more than $250,ooo. About, a year before his death he married Mrs. Belle Savage, of St Augustine, Fla., and formerly of Pittsburg, Pa. His will favored his widow with prac tically all of his estate.
