THE CO KITS DELICTI.

JUDGE SNYDE8RULES THAT IT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.

Tiio Wholo Morning Consumed In The Examination of Dr. Yoager, Who .Proves a Strom* Witness:'

Col. Do Hurt obj utjd tiia other day to iiiiy proof be introduced of any oirunisou noes implicating Pottit ia tho murder of his wife u'jtilafter the corpus dolioti hud boon proved—that is the fact that 11 crime had beeu committed iu this oaso, th it Airs, l'jttit was dead and that her death was felonious or criminal. Tuc court held that this must be proved before the St.ite could proojed to introduce evidence showing I'attit was the guilty party. This morning after Dr. Yeager's examinitiou was completed as to the main transaction the State proceeded to interrogate liim as to the conversation with 1'ettit after death. Col. DeHart made his objection again that the oorpus dolioti had not yet been proved. .T udge Snyder decided that the corpus dolioti had been proved suflioiently to permit the State to go on and show who committed the crime.

VESTHUDAY AFTERNOON. Our report closed yesterday at 4 o'clock. Following is the testimony tskeu from that hour to the adjournment of court at 5 o'clock:

Ml. J. W. VEAGER.

Gnoss—CON-TINTED —The stomach pump is lirst thing for a physician to use if he thinks poison is in the system or some other remedy to empty the stomach vomiting is one of the best remedies to get poisou out of the system witness never tried tins. Never told defendant or patient that there was stnchi.'ino poison did not remember having told patient that if she had run a nail ill her loot he would have known wliut -to doctor her for. (Here DeHart produced a letter whion the dootor ideutitied as his. it was tlieu admitted in evidence, It stated that Mrs. 1'ettit had been mil' ng from a congestive chill on Suuiluy. It testified that Mrs. Pettit died of extreme malarial poisoning. The doctor then said it had been written ubout a month after Mr.-. Pettit's death. Dell irt then lend Yeager report of the deulli to the board of health. It certified patient had died of maiathtl poisoiiintr. llness met Dr. llluck o'clock

the eourulti.tion to move the bowels iu case t'ae caioinel did not. The order to administer tiio oil was given to the defendant. Witness gave Dr. ljluok a history of tile case and he agreed that it -.wis malarial poisoning also mentioned the l'tra of of strychnine poisoning. The witness diit not tell him that he believed it. was a case of strychine pois oniug bjcause he was not certain, and lij held defendant ia esteem it was a case not only of Christian love, but of love of man for mail. Then there had been rv.mo:s und talk, ami as he ha been told in the defendant of the malarial laviusion—(Uol.

Did not tell Dr. Black that Mrs. Pettit had l-K-'en doct )red all along for strychnine poisoning, for the re:iaons aforesaid. Tho luties asked for tho truth iu their lett.-r asking for his Kt- it.Tin-nt. Here DeHart read tho :t! i'- Inch the statement was made that it was written iu "behalf ol justice and humanity," and asked witnsbd what he meant Dv that why he conce jled I he truth. "I have ulready given my reasons," said tho witness. "Did you beliovo your statements made in the letter and" relort?" The witness then explained himself, sayiug he ucted accordiug to his best judgment iu tho interests of the community. Ho wished to hush gossip and kuow his actions would subject him to criticism, but believed he was right then and telieved so still. He may have beeu wrong in one sense, but God being his witness he was right in another aud would always believe so.

When questioned he stated that he omitted the name of Mrs. Pettit in hw report to the health board by accident delayed sending report in booause he only made report every three months Pettit was always kind aud affectionate to his wife duriny her sickness, also anxious patient bent forward to got at chloroform during convulsions saved none of the discharges, urine or vomit, uer did ho give instructions to that effect, although suspecting poison all tho timo novor put anyone to watch to or prevent Pettit repeating doses of stryohniue was at the church on Thursday, knowing tlie body was being sent to New York, but did not psk for post mortem examination although he was suspicious. Did not suggest to Pettit tho propriety of poBt mortem because was not yet positive.

action except iu degree of time and degree of force. The mind iu idiopathic tetuarms is as clear as in strychnine tetnunns all poisons have characteristic features, that is, sufficient characteristic to make a diagnosis no oue symptom or pathological condition is peculiar to any oue poison strychnine can get into tho circulation by the mouth, the rectum, the cellar tissues, and also trough tho skiu's pores, especially a woman's. The smallest dose killing an adult known ou record is a grain it is partially solnable in water. When it is oace in tho wrjie cue leiier WUICL circulation it has no harmful power ex- yesterday afternoon. cept as local irritant it is purely a •'—-1 spinal poison. A post mortem examination will reveal a congestion of the brain aud frequently of the other organs. In case of strvchuiue poisoning the witness as a physician would firBt empty stomach and administer antidotes. Mcrphi.M" will produce convulsions as will digitalis atropin, aud aconite. These all Usto bitter. Mrs. Pettit took considerable cholorform. This drug produces convulsions.

The hour of five had then arrived and the court adjourned with Dr. Yeagor still on the stand. Ho has proved the tho best witness for the state this far produced. During tho cross examination this afternoon tho plan of the defense was plainly to get him to oontradiot himself, and for this purpose questions were repeated time and again. Much amusement was af-

Jrdod the audience but not much testimony bearing on the case was brought to light in the last hour and a half, and at times it bordered in tho faroe. Another thing the defense attempted to establish in the cross examination, was the possibility of Mrs. Pettit's death resulting from the acoumulated power of the digatalis or other medicine administered by Pettit. It was tediouB beyond measure for the lost two hours, exoept when tlie attorneys would indulge in quibbles or bantering conversation when the interest would run high.

THIS MORNING, -v DLL, J, W. YEAGKH

Was called again and the cross examination continued: Used handkerohief in shape of cup and held it with chloroform over nose and mouth. "WaB question 'Did you tell Pettit his wife had a congestive ohill,' asked at habeas corpus?" "Don't remember though

Sunday evening, possibly some on Monday evening patient hadsymptouij of convulsious on Tuesday afternoon if strychnine was given in crystals or into a full Btomacli Tuesday morning the action might havo been held in abeyance till the afternoon. Said nothing in habeas corpus proceedings of Mrs. Pettit's thirst aud gulping for water. (Here tho defense asked for the letter that Mrs. Shields wrote to A. C. McCorkle which he showed to Dr. Yeager and in response to which Dr. Yeager wrjte the letter which was introduced

Mr. Havwood

was excused to go to Anderson's* office

to find it. He returned in a quarter of

an hour unable to find the letter, defense then produced a copy it. Anderson and Haywood retired for oonsultation with Mrs. Shield,') Tho letter was then shown to the witness and then Stuurt read it.

Tho letter stated that her mother had received an anonymous letter evidently written at Odell and by a woman, but mailed ut Lafayette. This an nymous communication said that Hattie had died of strychnine poisoaiug and hintod strongly that a man of tho cloth liad given it aud that further information could bo gained by coming to Odell. One explanation was wanted. "Wo havo every confidence in Fred," was one senteuoe.

Witness answered letter at request of McCorkle. HE-DIRECT—Influence of above letter

onpsules aud oue full to show size of doses bo was giving his wife. Did not show any other full oapsules. Size of doso of digitalis was four or live drops a 20 or 30 drop doso repeated a number of times may prove poisouous a half ouuoe, 240 drops, might prove fiitul. The 4 drop doses were about eight iu number. Effoct of digitnh', iu poisouous doses produces violeut vomiting, pulse beoomes very slow, loss of will. (Defense objected to this lino of examination but overruled.) Poisonous symptoms of morphia, feeble action of heart, insensibility, coma, contraction of pupils of eye, and death might occur in convulsions or from exhaustion a poisouous dose is 1 gr.iu, iu certain oases usually lakes more gave not. more than grain. Morphine aud atropia are antidotes therefore felt safe in giviug both. Morphine to be given 8 nours apart symptoms atropia are rapid pulse, dry throat, dilution of pupils, loss of hearing, irregular muscular contractions, that is of one arm or limb, iniud uuconscious, sickness apt to bo prolonged one or more ibys. Ouo half or 1 of grains is dangerous, one grain or more is fatal witness prescribed 1-G0 to 180 of a graiu at intervals of 3 hours symptoms of chloroform poisoning, are loss of consciousness, ooma and dililoult respiration, heart failure, convulsions,perhaps tetanic. Death iu this oase would be caused by failure of heart by inhalation a dose of ouuoe would be fatal, perhaps less. Iu tetania convulsions a slight application of ohloroform would not produce a poisonous effeot. Symptoms of aoonite poisoning are numbness of lips, throat, tongue aud fingers,sharp paius in joints, different respiration, first a slowness of heart notion, then more rapid, loss of sight, hearing and speech, death usually resulting from fainting. In any poison a purging of the bowels may occur stryohniue has no particular effeot ou bowels. Ten drops of acouito is a poisonous doses prescribed not more tnau two drops at lutervils of hilf an hour.

Hydrate of chloral, poisonous symptoms are failure of heart, may posiibly result fatally in couvulsions, mixed tonio and clonic no ptomineut stiffuess or rigidity no effectou lowei jaw produce sleep i-ometimes ton grains produces death but it may take 200 or 300 grains prescribed eight doses of ten grains at intervals of half an hour. First prescribed this Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock the sleep produced would be profound Pettit always told witness to como as often as possible aud stay as long as possible. The fac'. that her bowels would not move was not a serious matter Death would have ensued Tuesday morniug if chloroform had not beeu administered then. Symptoms of hysterical convulsions are very freak v, lau«hinSi crying, aud death never result. She was in a stupor all (lie time Dr. I'.taok was present. (Juestiou as to whether he had studied up ou strychnine poisoning since the dentli of Mrs. Pettit was ruled out. Witness illustrated lioldiug hankeivhief over his nose, so that respiratory organs (mouth and nose) were cjmpletely covered. He thus instructed defendant to administer chloroform. Violent exercise of muscles of stomach would produce soreness. Defendant was at witness' office in September after ho had written to Mrs. Shields at Now York aud asked for a statement as to cause of his wife's death to use in case of suit for damages a?ainbt parties who had been liking about li in. Tho defense objected to this question, but the court overruled it making his corpus delicti decision. Wituess said Pettit could get the statement he sent to Mrs. Shields nt New York when at his ollioe, defendant stated thatpeoplo were attempting to down him as a doctor and himself as a minister. Pet'it also said Dr. Barkis had gone to Dr. Black to toll him that he Barkis) did agree with witness in the caso, but Pettit said this was in confidence and asked him not to tell it. Barkis kept medicine in his house to prescribe for slight illness at home. Dr. Black had made a statement but ut the buttom of it had added, "I did not see tho first symptoms of stryohniue poison." Witness said Dr. Black was right because ho was uot there during tho convulsions. Pet1'ettit telegraphed from tho Kast for wituess to meet him at West Poiut and ho did so at this meeting Pettit asked if people were still persecuting him Pettit then for tho first time told witness that his wife's body had been ombalmed also that the stomach had been

tor to Mrs. Shields. His motive was quiet tho anxiety of Mrs. Shields and protect his friend Pettit. "Where does lie sit? point him out." This the witness did pointing straight at the defendant. "If W. F. Pettit had been a total stranger, if Pettit had not been your

"I would expect to find some at the base of the brain in the mo lulla oblougator," said witness. "You would/" said Pettil. Gave Pettit uso of his horse and buggy to get ready to leave. The letter was introduced as evidence aud read. It was on tho letter head of the Grund Prelate of the Knights Templar of Indiana and read as follows:

Both lotters were addressed to Dr. J. William Yeagor, Olou Hall. Defendant never mentioned embalming before his return fromNowYork.Soid nothing on Tuesday to Pettit about his wife being out of danger sho was not out of danger then si.id nothing about blood poisoning at all. On Sunday evening or Monday stopped to speak to Unolo Wullaco anil heard a glass brokon in front hall Pettit was recovering himself as though lie had fallen against it Mrs. Whitehead was near him and they were ulone. Told Pettit there was a long chain of circumstantial ovidouco agaiuBt him, ho agreeded with this. Told Pettit about Mrs. Whitehead toll— iug witness that he had trouble with liis wife. Pottit said "Pshaw, did she sav that?" Saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead together on the lounge, she stunding beside him they spoke low Mrs. Whitehead thou came to witness. (Wrhat she said to him was ruled out by the oourt.) Tho prosecution then turned the wituoss over to the defense. It being nearly noon and as the defense announced they want Dr. Yeager at least an hour or two au adjournment was tuken until 10 o'olook Monday.

NOTES.

The witnesses were allowed to go home until Monday, The faot that Col. DoHart has had his hair out does uot seem to have shorn him of his strength, as Samson of old.

Pretty Miss Cumberson attracts almost as much attention as she sits at work at tho Prosecutor's table as Pettit himself. .Tolly Tom Kelsey is the life of the jury after court hours. Ho is said to be a natural comedian aud keeps the boys in a constant roar of laughter.

Prosocutor Haywood says that it will not now be necessary to produco tho ohemioal experts to prove tho corpus delicti but they will be brought to the staud anyhow. —Henry Vinton, who made a sketch of the jury yesterday morniug was once working the same thing in his father's oourt at ifayetto and was excluded bv llis Honor and forbidden to return.

Tho nttorueys from Lafayette connected with lie case retui tied homo this afternoon, while tho jurymen passed the time iu conversing' tb their families under tho eagle eye of Charley Davis.

A group of ladies yesterday were having a great time pointing out Pettit yes-dj-y and finally one of them pointed out Kuinler as that worthy at which another responded, "well he looks like a villain, now don't he'"

Ihe Lifnyette Journal published this morning what purported to the pictures of Judge Srivder and tho jury. Ihe only feature to !o recognized iu the whole thirteen was the mustache and upper lip of Georgo Small.

Col. DeHart was in great glee last evening aud confidentially imparted to the Jorux.vi that tho dofsuso has not established the pluribus unum or the sine qua non neither have they proved that osmosis is caused by imbibation.

There is a perfect harmonv in the jury room aud bailiff' Charles Davis says that in all his experience he never saw a more congenial crowd. The evenings are passed in telling tales aud other harmless amusements.

Tho jury will not be allowed to sopaate, reports to tho contrary, notwithstanding. The jury will be allowed to attend church in a body under the care of a bailitr, providing the minister iu charge will agree to make no mention of the case. It is probable that a long drive will bo taken in the afternoon,aud in fact everything will be done to make the day of rest a most pleasant ono for them ull.

Whenever ono of the jurors makes any reference to tho ease the twelve resolve themselves into a mimic court at once. Tho Judge will rule whether or not the evidence is admissible after tho strenuous objections are made by one who assumes the role of Col. DeHart. The evidence taken has really no beariug ou the case and is usually pointed at the attorneys, the whole proceedings being in tho nature of objections aud arbitrary rulings.

After the adjournment, Mrs. Housor, a well known lady ®f this city,approached the attorneys for the defense and stated that she felt it her duty to inform them that several years ago during her residenoe iu the malarial districts of northern Indiana, she had had an attack of acute malarial poisoning. During this sho exhibited all the symptoms which Dr. Yeager had described Mrs. Pettit exhibiting during her convulsions—rigidity of the body, clinching of the hands, turning down of tho toes, relaxatiou complete after couvulaiouB, and in fact all tho symptoms Mrs. Pettit showed. The attorneys seemed greutly interested and will probably plaoe her upon the witness stand.
