An Editor With Worm*.

Certain Crawfordsvillians are croaking over tbe election of Judge James F. Harney, setting forth a plea of incompetency on the part of Mr. Harney. Our haughty brethren of tho county seat may as well accept the inevitable. This is Montgomery county. We have had an election and "we are in it." Judge Harney has been a maker as well as a reader of law. He will take care of the legal matters of this county for six years, including the refractory at the "bar" at the ceuuty seat, iu a dignified and thoroughly competent way. As we have before stated Ladoga "is in it." Amoug the elect besides the circuit Judge we have a Congressman. Ladoga is a "hamlet" but she gets there with both feet in politics and in business as well.—Ladoga Leader.

THE EVIDENCE IN

And the Argument Is Being: Made—The Pettit Case Drawing: to a Close.

A RESUME OF THE TESTIMOMT THIS WUK.

Last Thursday at noon tbe evidence in the celebrated case ot State of Indiana vs. W. F. Pettit, on trial for tbe willful murder of bis wife, was all in and tbe argument began, But four speeches were made: Haywood opened for the state, followed by Col. DeHart for tbe defense, he in turn by Anderson, for tbe State, and Kumler closes for the defense, The trial lias been along and tedious one, at the present writing having occupied five weeks. The fight on both sides has been vigorous, every inch of ground being hotly contested, and should tbe defense succeed in iu clearing tbeir client they will have won a great victory and vice versa. It is thought the case will be given to tbe jury to-night:

Anna Mebarry, daughter of G. N. Meharry. —Lives 1)4 mile from Shawnee Mound ehurch. Was at the parsonage on Monday afternoon about two o'clock. While tbe party were sit— tingcin the parlor Pettit came to tbe door and ealled Mrs. Whitehead. They talked in the front hall in subdued tones, Pettit leaning with bis elbow on the window case and Mr. Whitebead 2 or 3 feet away with her arms folded. Pettit's arm slipped and the glass was broken. Witness sat in full view of them.

Mrs. I. G. Kerr.—On Wednesday putcarbolic acid bags in the sick room, did not hear physicians say anything about typhoid fever, but somebody else did after the physician had left, always observed.Pettit as kind to

tieB

Mrs. Lizzie Willis, wife of Mead Willis, died Wednesday night last at her home west of the college of congestion of the stomach'at the age of 28 years. She leaves a husband and one child to mourn her loss. "Who will be tbedeputy sheriff," is worrying the republicans much more than it is tbe dem. ocracy. They may rest rest assured that whoever it may be will be a competent mas' as will likewise Mr. Bible prove.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williamson were made tbe recipients last night of a beautful antique oak center table, tbe gilt of members of tbe P. O. S. A, lodge of this city, of which order Mr. Williamson is a very prominent member.

There is put little doubt now that the Midland railroad will be extended into the coal fields of Clay county by next spring. The line will run from Waveland through Bellmore and Bridgeten in Parke couity with terminus at Brazil.

biB

wife did

not see Dr. Yeager emg iu the choir at the funeral. Rev. W. P. Clark.—The successor of Pettit, took possession of the parsonage Sept 23,1889. The cellar was then infested with rats, also tbe barn.

Dr. D. R. Black is 39 years old, a graduate of tbe physician and Surgeons college at Indianapolis. Has practiced since 1874 went to see Mrs. Pettit at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. Dr. Yeager was not there but was sent for and arrived at 3:80 made no examination patient before Dr. Yeager's arrival when Yeager came witness made an examination temperature was 103, pulse 125, tongue dry and coated, a gaseous distention of the bowels. During tbe digital examination the patient flinched when bowels were touched no rlgid!-

in extremities, but some slight rigidity of the muscles around the bowels patient was unconscious and could not be aroused by speaking loudly or shaking witness and Yeager had a consultation in the yard. Yeager said at his first visit patient was nervous and in somewhat of a chill, stomach irritated and patient was vomiting at second visit her learned that she bad been troubled with malaria prescribed medicine and on his next visit thought she was getting well. At the next visit which was Tuesday she was worse. The diagnosis was that it was malarial poisoning. Dr. Yeager suggested ana also witness, that she had typhoid symptoms it is a fact she had typhoid symptoms. Nux vomica is commonly called found in the pills given the patient Dr. Yeager said he had notgiven quinine in sufficient quanities as patient did not like to take it The cause of the stupor was the result ot malarial poisoning, not anesthetics because it lasted too long for that at that consulation calomel and oil were prescribed the calomel, was to be givea immediately (4 o'clock) and the next dose in three hours the oil was to be given 4 hours after the last dose of calomel gave Pettit instructions to put whiskey in oil and have it warmed whiskey and oil need stirring to make tbem mix Dr. Yeager never mentioned strychnine poisoning at consultation neither did he mention convulsions he did, however, tell of paroxysms. Pettit went to the yard with both the doctors and asked about the condition of his wife witness replied that the case was hopeless arrangements were made for witness to come back next morning received a telegram from Pettit that morning it was about 10 o'clock and witness immediately drove to Shawnee Mrs, Pettit bad been dead a half hour when he arrived.

Cress.—While waiting for Yeager that night did not go to sleep. On the habeas corpus witness testified that there was no rigidity of arms or legs and it is true, Don't know positively that the patient was not under the effect of anesthetics. Might have been administered while witness was there but hardly probable. Don't know that nux vomica was given the patient Testified before the first grand jury Nov. 12,1889. If witness testified then that he received a telegram at 12 and arrived at 2 he was mistaken.

Mrs. Rorum saw Mrs. Pettit the evening of her return at David Meharry's

Bhe

said she

was tired and has a pain in her back. Dr. O'Ferrall, patlentjmust have died of strychnine poisoning and of tbree doses. In one of his 2 cases of strychnine poisoning tbe extremities were cold, in the other he did not notice.

Cross.—If a" patient's life can bo prolonged two hours be is on a fair road to recovery. It is hard to tell how long a dose of strychnine will remain in the body. One of the pntlents cried out so that he could be heard 200 feet.

Dr. Henry Jameson, of Indianapolis, is a physician and surgeon of general practice, 43 years old and Is a graduate of Beltevue, !N. Y. Has taken special courses in chemistry and now occupies the chair of Clinics In the Indiana Medical College. Had two cases of strychnine poisening, one in 1876 and one 1879 has analyzed five bodies for strychnine and found it in two cases. Has embalmed bodies for disecting room the embalming fluid would not remove evidence of congestion of the brain if three doses of strychnine were given evidences would surely be in the brain in one of the witness' cases found congest on in brain and spinal chord did not see the brain in the other case if the poisoning Is very acute and patient dies from exhaustion inside of an

4

hour there may be no strychnine found in brain the fact that a patient hat had convulsions for three or four days and dies, and strychnine is found in tbe other organs but not in the brain or spinal chord might excite a suspicion of strychnine poisoninp, but nothing more.

Dr. W. T. Gott, of this city, has practiced 13 years graduating from tbe Cincinnati Medical Institute. Has had a case of idiopathic tetanus just out of town in '83 was consulting with Dr. Taylor: has fed dogs strychnine for experiment In the case of tetonns the patient was in violent convulsions, the museles ail contracted. There was oposthotlnous the convulsions lasted a minute or two and medicine could not be administered between them. There was complete relaxation between them except in tbe muscles of tbe jaw. Patient only lived three hours after witness arrived. Should think that strychnine ought to bare been found in Mrs. Pettit's brain and lunps, and also that they should be congested if she died of the poison. •mas.— Witness thought be could tell a caee of strychnine poisoning when be saw it. Witness can tell a case of traumatic tetanus by the symptoms, hut it is impossible to tell a case of strychnine poison by the symptom-. This is a fact Tbe causes of traumatic and ideopathic tetanus are symptoms. Can't always tell the cause of idiopatic tetanus. Am is unwilling to express an opinion on strychnine poisoning on symptoms alone although they are striking. The uneasy felling followed quickly by convulsions sometimes occur tetanus.

Dr. J. N. Taylor, of this city, a graduate of Indiana Medical college, 1876. Never had a a case of strychnine poisoning. Is President of tbe Indiana State Board of Health. Has had one case of idiopathic tetanus, Mrs Louis Fisher, in 1880. First symptoms were constipation temperature 101, headache and slight Boreness of the jaw. Next day the Bame, on the third day about 41 o'clock she was in convulsions, head thrown back, arms thrown over the chest and jaws firmly locked and she was unable to swallow. About 8 there was relaxation, ether having been given at 8 she died. Between the convulsions, the relation was only partial. Did not see the feet and toes of the patient has a theoretical knowledge of chemistry, very little practice. Death resulting from strychnine taken on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, would find as a rule congestion of the brain would be more likely to find congestion after successive doses than a single dose. If a dose ot strychnine was given on Tuesday morning would not expect its symptoms to last until 2 a. m. on Wednesday.

Cross:—Could uot swear that Mrs. Fisher died of idiopathic tetanus. She was a member of the Episcopal church ant' they keep a record of the cause of their members death. Did not report to them that she died of malarial poiBoning complicated with spinal menengetiB. Dr. W. T. Gott assisted witness in the case.

Ethan Meharry.—Saw Mrs. Pettit at the church Saturday evening and she was complaining and said she bad not enjoyed ber visit to South Bend on account of her delicate condition. On Wednesday helped Pettit carry out three bushels of potatoes from the cellar that were decayed.

Aaron Wallace knew the Pettits well and they were always affectionate saw them once when they did not know the witness was present. They were eating most affectionately found a set of false teeth in the parsonage after the funeral. Pettit oame up and said, "La! how did those get there?"

G. A. Julian.—Has lived at Shawnee for 16 years. The defense here stopped to look for their memorandum of this witness and being unable to find it Stuart went back to the hotel for it and in his absence it was found. Witness frequently visited Pettit and 1b a member of the Shawnee church. Pettit was always attentive to his wife Pettit always had good "eats" when witnessisited bitn.

Mrs. Ethan Meharry.—Mrs. Pettit said she saw a bull on her way home from South Bend and could still see it in her mind's eye this waB on Sunday remembered the pretty little dog named Tiiy and he gave up tbe ghost. Know this because Mrs. Pettit said during her sickness, "I'm dying. Didn'tjl see I see Tiny die." Mrs. Whitehead proposed the consultation of doctors and Yeager said be understood the case himself. Mrs. Pettit asked on Monday that Mrs. Whitehead stay with her. Pettit was always kind and attentive Jo bis wife. There was no cross examination and the witness was excused.

Dr. S. D. Hillis, late of Darlington, has practiced for 12 years graduated from the Univerof Michigan, medical department. Has had a case of nux vomica poisoning. Has treated a number of diseases which were attended with convulsions. Has treated several cases of malarial poisoning these were attended by tetanic convulsions.

The Proposed Creamery.

The much talked ot and long abused buttery project

iB

at last approaching a crisis. At a

meeting of the Business Men's Association last Tuesday night to take some action in tbe matter it was thought advisable to proceed at once with the enterprise. A* committee composed of P. S. Kennedy, John M. Schultz and T. H. Ristine was appointed to draft articles of incorporation, prepare stock subscription books and solicit stock. It is proposed to mnke tbe capital stock $10,000, of which W. G. Clark and Charles Waterbury will subscribe $1,500. Mr. Kennedy was in Lafayette on Monday inspecting the new creamery there and is highly elated over its workings. Their factory is now turning out 150 pounds of butter daily, all of which is consumed in Lafayette. The plan andobjectof the creamery has often been stated in the Review-and it is uot necessary to repeat it. That'our new creamery is almost an assured fact there is no disputing. _i ...
