HAY WOOD STILL TALKS.

HE RIDICULES THE EXPERTS OP 'J HE DEFENSE.

Aid Tells the Story of the Alleged Crime In A Thrilling Manner.

YES 1'liliOAl' AFTERNOON! Mr. Haywood continuing said' (ha' she utteuded church Saturday night ((uito VTQII. This is not hist ry enough for Dr. Taylor but 1 think it is for tinmen of gocd mipo'i srnso. Of course 8ho hail a tired lock that night after hoi hard sy' work for Pettit. Sho talked wiili Uias. Hickumn, a young miiu ol trutli pud oiudor, and askod liiui to go Home. .She told liirn she never felt hot tor iu her 1 -'. All witnesses ngn tliis esc:.pi. MIH. oellouburi/.atd 1 don't kuow or care who she ia sh-j oau't stauu bjl'oro all other*. Airs. Pottit gct eick at the stom-joh lht.1 uight, it is truo. but this is nothing unusual, and shits ui) as usual ucxt morning. The was well enoug for Pottit to go to Noivlowii .- spunk. Duukivy li ido her in tlw afternoon aud she talks spiritedly him al'ier this Peiti' gives her home tea it does not taite li^iit it is bitter iu 2U minutes ah takes au uneasy fueliugjshe boliuvcs she is poit0:ie.i she trcmb!* and go.a iuto temliio eonvulsijut. Laura K. Meharry describes those convulsions aud they were strychniuo eonvulsioninne very pai ticular.if wo may be lieve Dr. Peters who described stryeh uiuo convulsions as ideutical with them. (The testimony cf Mis. Meharry on Mrs. Pottit's convulsions and Peter's testimony on strychnine convnlsious were reud to show the similarity.) The vt iting produced by the hot mustard wafer saved her life anil finally 1'eager c.iine and finds his patient in the after stages of stryohnino poisoning. Drs. Peters, I'ouut, liistiue, Uowau aud O'Ferrel all agree that her symptoms wore those of strychnine poisoning. (The symptoms wero then road from "Taylor on Poisons" showing the distietiou between the paroyxms of strychnine aud those of tetanus.) It eertaiuly looks like Airs. Pettit had stryohnine on Sunday,, utd .there is not a reasonable doubt of it.' 'ill witnesses, agree as to her symptoms aud they do not agree with th0B0 of tetanus, 'l'ho defense has not been fair as to their theories. They have nothing tangible, but have siezed little lloatuig pieces hero and there which only sank with thein. They started to say Yeager's medicine killed Airs. Pottit but failed to even attempt to prove it. Our experts proved that were perfectly proper aud right. Drives from this they took up the shadowy theory of urenie poisoning, but they s&uk with this also not attempting to prove it either. Then was, marshaled up idiopathic totauus. This is rare but they said they would provo case after. Did they do itt Gillum, of Kockville, lmd a case 20 years ago in Virgi'uia, in the torrid zone. Then comes the famous Dr. liifHe who had an even dozen oasea. The only man who escaped from Itillle was on the stand thi morning. Ho testified that his tetanus was biliousness and also that the other oases of Ki tile's tetanus were spotted fever and so pronounced by Eiflle at the time. Dr. Taylor and Dr. Gott had a oase they say. Thoy gave the symptoms and if it was a caso of tetanus then Mrs. Pettit did not have it. Toylor could not member what ho pronounced the ease a the time or what he reported it. His case was really spinal meningetis and co was Dr. liillis' oaso. Tuen the defense tikes up tranmatio tetauns to tho same ctfuct. The defense asked the doctors if suoh things were not within the raugo of possibilities. They set up a defense of reasonable doubt and that is all. Thoy will argue that there is a reasonable doubt that Mrs. Pettit died of tetanus instead of strychnine. But her symptoms were not those of tetauus. The unek of her neok was not sore for netting, her jaws wero not fixed, and convulsions came on suddenly. There can bo no possible doubt even that she had stryohnine on Sunday. The bro mido of potash and digatnlis which l'eagor left caused her to improvo and she was getting well on Monday. The sinking t-poll oil Monday wus merely due to exhaustion and not one siugle symptom of a convulsion appeared. Then it was that she asked for ohurooal and

W ter audit was for nausea and not fir waat the defense tries to make it ap pour. Monday night she reskd well aid Tuesday morning she took some oreakfast sho partook of the tea, toast ana broth. Ethan Meliurry says she took rnuoh of the broth. Soon alter this she toak convulsions. If she got tho poison in the broth I admit it would bo bitter. We did not know at tho opouof tho case that sho had anything

0 and it did saern mysterious. But then came Mrs. Lettie Hawthorn and says that just as the breakfast was taken away Pettit gave a oapsule. Mrs.- Wal1 ,oe and Mrs. Julian were brought hero to ditp ove this, aud seemed for some mysterious reason willing to do so, but uld not, as wo placed them elsewhere at the time. Mrs. Hawthorn wus disinterested and told the God's truth aud did not p. rjure herself. Fifteen minuf.es a'ter tho capsule wus given the oonvulsions came again. Mrs. .Lettie Hawthorne described Tuesday's convulsions and they were identical with those of Sunday except that her kuocs draw up. She wus probably mistaken in lis, bu even if not it does not disprove strychnine poisouing. Mrs. Bessie Wallace and

Mrs. Julian also describe the eon\U sions as similar to tlioso of Sunday. Ttteso oonvulsions came on very suddenly as thos'i of Sundi.y did, ami this disproves tetanus.

perhaps by ohloroform but to all practi-

1 purposes they were identical with t' ofo of Sunday. Of coarse the twitoliings followed for hours, but it was ir.ne.vi.'Ubness necessarily following the rmiking and tearing of the nvstem by the convulsions. At 4 p. ui 'the ootivuUious come on again aud they were stryehuine. Convulsions again as numerous wiliiesf-osgiven the svniptonis as Sich. Be continued to 11 p. m., b: constantly decreasing. From this time wo find no convulsions uutil just IHSI'OIO she died. Dr. 'J ay lor not the man who ttstilicd but a better man, a man who wrote a bo-ik, ssys it could not have been from Tuesday's dose. On Wednotd.iy shortly )ofore tho convulsion 1 tlit gives a dose of oil. Previous to this Mrs. Pottit was conscious, even

Bissio Wallace Koknowledgos this. Sho wai conscious when she took tho oil as sh responded by taking several swal1 .ws as directed. Mis. Kate Bradley s-iys iu half an hour the convulsions came ouagaiu, and sho and Mrs. FiauciB ties, ribo tho symptoms and thoy are identical with those of Snuciay and Tuesday. Mrs. Sophia Wilson also oe«rs witness to the same oflect. Fif teen miautiu after death tho body wus TO stiff Lhut the underolothes had to .be cut ol)'. Numerous witnesses testily that tho face was ghastly and the bodv rigid at dentil. The eyes were oloso'd with difficulty and the teeth were sot. Dr. Black said there was a gaseous dis tension of tho stomach, but it is not so. lie didn't know what ho was talking about as all tho organs are shown to lo healthy. What killed Hattio Pettit? I he court then oalled Mr. Haywood dowu an ho had already gone on past the hour. Aud announced that the coui would convene in the morning at 8:i)0 instead of 9. He also renewed his instructions to the jury warning them against Miking with eaoh other on the •subject or even forming an opinion on the caso until the arguments had closed uid the court's instructions given.

FRir AY MON1NG.

y-r. Hay

wood began sp3aking this

morniutf befoiea comparatively small audience. Bogining with the post mort'. m, lie stated that Dr. Peters' hnd kui.d ml th3 organs sound which could not ve been, had the disease been tmluiiu. Notice tho extreme oaro which Dr. Pot era usod in the analysis. Nofa Ji is allowed to touch the parts except litmi-.elf. They say Dr. Peters made the analysis in secret, but what.i'ould vou lrnve thought of him if he ua:l iit. Prof. EL.ines, who has anal' z.-d at least 80 bodies, did tho same. Dr. l'e ers and Prof. Haines found of a gr*iu

01

st yohnine in tho liver, intes-

tn-.-s, spleen and stomaoh aloue. If there Has ote man who showed his aminer tl:ul ho was free from any taint if prejudice, that man was Prof Heincs. He suys that Btr.yohuiut is so nctimes not found in ail tho organs. Thi'. makes worthless the ttiteiuent of D.Jamesou that is always found in all parts of the body. There might have been stryohnine in the brain and Peter* nut iiud it because he only aualyz ounces of it, very small portion. Prof. Hiinoa siys that very small proportion goes to the brain and it is necessary to have a large portion of it to iiud any strychnine. Dr. ltistine desoribed his oase of traumatic tetauns and you have heard ideopathio tetanus described. Now you are familiar with the symptoms of stryohnine, more so than some of tho doctors, and you know that she did not have tetanus. Dr. Hillis' oase -if ideopathio tetanus was not a pure one beoauso the patient was bilious. Now uonoeding that Mrs. Pettit had convulsions from 8 a. m. Tuesday to Wednesday at 2 a. m., this does not dispiovo strychnine poisoning because tho oliloioforin. itnd morphine administered freely held the .oonvulsions'• in abeyanoe as it h&B been provett' by an oxpert they may bo. Tho defense have tried tj make a point that Mrs. Pettit had bnt a scant passage of urine and ignored the faot of the vomiting, but Dr. Yeager's testimony shows, that the passage of urine oocuired at three different times iu sufficient quantities. Tnerofore the Sunday dose oould not have remained in the body uutil _Wodnedday aooording to Professor Raines and other expert?. The patient was not strong physically, and sue ate but little. She had but little blood, and as congestion is caused by tho forcing ol the blcod to the brain. Now it is very reasonable to suppose that congestion of the' brain would not ocaur in this oase, especially as Mrs, Pettit died iu tie first stages of a convulsion. Dr. O'Ferral said that embalmiug fluid might kestroy tho evidences of congestion of the brain. Dr. Jameson said such a thing wis impossible because tho force rewuired to send the, fluid to every part of the braiu would ooagulate the blood. But can blood bo oo igulated unless it is exposed to the airlf It csnn .t and Dr. Jameson shows hinis 'U to be wroi on tho face of mutters. We ivo endeavored to act fairly in evary ospeot and if a.iy unfair means have been used by tho prosecution we don't ask a conviction. Our hypothetical question was admitted to oar expert witness aud told thom to study over it so they could give an intelligent amwer.

Now tho defenso is' composed of the shrowdest mouibers of the Tippeoanoe and Montgomery oouuty bars, and vhy was it they put Dr. Taylor on tho stand when ho had not read their hypothetical question through. Yet Dr. Taylor answered prompt aud what is his answer worth under su^li circumstan Oar experts answered all questions oa diroot .ind oross examination honestly an! squarely. Only oroe aftero tell ous day of severe oross examination did Dr. Peters bt'come oofnused and then only on so slight a mattor as the •uoessiou of colors. l'h« experts for the defense wero led on little by little ly their hypothetical questions and those hypothetical questions did not contain foots. Dr. Gott wus asked if euthanasia might be present. He answered that it might or might not be, and in response to the next question said he did not know what the arotd meant. Now th shows what Gott's evidence iB worth.

Dr. Jamison dodged, aud in a smoo way, bnt it was not straight forward or fair and Dr. Hodges answered every question of every kind equorely for tho defense. Tlioy all thought it oould not bo stryohnine, because the brain was not ngested, but thought there wero symptoms of totauus, yet they all testified that congestion of the brain wus a symptom of tetanus. The hypothetical questions of the defense winds up with me query, ''Can you reasonably asoribe death to something else than strychninti'" or '"would say that stryohnine was tho cause of death beyond a reas-
