TTTF ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. ANALYSES 111 WEST HEIN Defending the color test as an ai> loritative method of determining pproximately the amount of mor phine and meconic acid in the hu man body, reiterating his former estimony that undoubtedly much of le morphine which originally was in he body of Joshua B. Crawford must ,ave disappeared in the four years ntervening between death and the ost-mortem examination, and ex- ressing the expert opinion that the ged farmer did not die of pneumonia, Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary' of the State Board of Health, gave the most important testimony at the concluding session of the famous Crawford will contest hearh g Friday. The hearing was brought to a sud den close Friday by the announce ment of Auditor James L. Anderson rhat he was “going to conclude the ase to-day.” Attorney James then announced that he would, under these conditions, Just place two witnesses on the stand. They were Dr. Harris and Dr. John Funke, professor of pathology and bacteriology at the Atlanta Medical College. Defense Evidence Attacked. They were placed on the stand in rebuttal of the testimony of the de fense, and the questions propounded of Dr. Harris by Attorney James were met with constant objections from the defense’s counsel. The defense scored on Dr. Harris’ testimony when he admitted that a morphine injection might be revealed in the stomach by analysis. He ad mitted that meconic acid, trace.#of which were found in his analysis, was not poison, but said it indicated the presence of opium. ‘‘It would not be reasonable to say whether morphine would remain for a short or a long period,” said Dr. Har ris. “There have been instances where great quantities of opium have been administered to a man and ab solutely no trace of it could be found in an examination a day or two after death. In other cases, it has been known to remain for a long time. “The color test is regarded as an authoritative one, and Dr. Everhardt and myself made every standard test In our analysis to discover the traces of opium and morphine. Not Cross-Examined. The defense did not cross-examine Dr. Harris. Dr. John Funke, professor of pa thology and bacteriology at the At lanta Medical College, followed Dr. Harris on the stand. He said that he had analyzed thousands of lungs and stomachs during his career. He expressed the opinion that a body would throw off much morphine dur ing four years in the grave. 'He also expressed the opinion that it would be impossible to tell four years after death whether a person died of pneumonia. It was highly probable that opium poisoning would be absorbed by the body to such an extent that it would be impossible to find any traces of it. he said. Auditor Anderson then set January 12 as the date for the arguments in the hearing. Mrs. Crawford, accused widow, was an interested spectator to the last minute.
