REDIUKCT.—Alter Monday morning he would not have treated her for strychnine poisoning. The convulsions ... on Tuesday could not havo been caused by strychnine or the putient could not have survived until Wednesday. Neurotic poisons may take effect sometime after administration and fresh convulsions do not indicate a fresh dose the dizziness and backaches two weeks before would have to be considered. Witness spent most of his time last night i.t the hotel listening to

tw«en 2 a. m. aud noou there was complete relaxation and 110 rigidity of tlio jaws this would modify witness' opinion chloroform will modify convulsions if urinary org ins were in working order would expeot to find less strychnine but don't know whether more or less than 2-3 grain congestion of the brain is found after death from tetanus the same as in strychnine poisoning, therefore now not pLce any importance on this point if witnestf had been called to Pettit's house on Sunday afternoon the second and third convulsions he would have treated the patient for strychnine poisoning not tetanus.

Col. DeHart telling stories. "In your opinion is the prosecutor suffering this morning from tetexi?" The prosecutor objected and the objection was sustained amid the laughter of the audience.

EEOSOSS.—A sick porsou might be poisoned witii Htrychuiuo. DU. HIACK remembered of meeting Dr. Y.-ager as the latter was going home hxim testifying iu this case. The alleged conversation between ttie witness and Ireager which Yeuger denied ocsuring as read was then read to the witness who testified that it really did ocjur that wiiy. The prosecution asked the privilege of asking the v. itue.-s an impeaching question. "Oule»ving Pettit's house on Weihiesd'iy did vou see near the residence of A. J. Kerr, the snid A. J. Kerr, Johu Kerr and J. L. Mered th, and did you notsuyto them that you had gone to see Mrs. Pettit in response to a telegram from Pettit asking him to come to a consultation with Yeager at 4 o'clock that afternoon!1" Witness did not remember of any such thina and wanted to explain but it is an impeaching question. He was allowed to do so. Tne defense offered A. 0. McCorkie's letter to Mrs. Shields as a jmrt of the cross examination of Mrs. Shields. The objections of the state were sustained and the defense filed exceptions.

DR. J. N. TAYLOR.

Of this city a graduate of Indiana Medical college, 1876. Never had a case of ssryohniue poisoning. Is President of the Iudiauti State Board of Health, Has had one case of idiopath10 tetauus, Mrs. Louis Fisher, iu 1880. First symptoms were constipation temperature 101, headache and slight soreness of jaw. Next day they were the same on^hird day about 4 o'clock she was in convulsions, head thrown back, arms thrown over the chest and jaws firmly looked and she was unable to swallow. About 7 there was complete relaxation, ether having beo^. given at 8 she died. Between the convulsions, the relaxation was only partial. Did not Bee the feet and toes of the patient has a theoretical knowledge' of chemistry, very little practioe. 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 oongestion after successive doses than a single dose. The question "Would it be safe fora medicalexpert to oouclude that deatli had resulted from strychnine in repeated doses because the finding of less than a grain of strychnine in the body the brain and the Inngs being in a normal condition?" was objected to by the state and the objectiou was sustained. The hypothetical questions were propounded and the witue^s aiswertd them all, to the satisfaction of the defense. The patient, the witness thought did not die of strychnine poisoning but probably tetanus. Not more than one dose of strychnine could have been taken. The symptoms an set forth in the hypothetical case are not characteristic of strychnine alone. The witness answered the hypothetical question in regajd to the embalming and analysis by saying that •strychnine was not necessarily the cause of death and it might have been tetanus. Malaria is a predisposing jcause of tetanus. The FI 'asms on Tuesday, in one of which tlie patient drew the knees up could not be attributed to strychnine fresh dose if strychnine had been taken iu a capsule and vomiting followed, the bitter taste would be recognised, 'x'he State did submit a 'hypothetical question to the witness for examination. Judge Davidson read to the witness the prosecution's hypothetical question and asked him he oould account for death in any other way than by strychnine. Witness said he oould.

DR. BLACK.

Knows Mrs. Mnry Meharry remem ber visiting a sick child of Nat Hamilton's. May have told Mrs. Meharry there that Mrs. Pettit died of poison but don't remember it.

CROSS—If witness said it, he meant malarial poison. DR. J. N. TAYLOR.

DIRECT CONTINUED—If a dose of strychnine was given Tuesday morning would not expeot its symptoms to last until 2 a. m. on Wednesday.

CROSS—If the were weak and erot a dose on Tuesday would not expect her to live until Wednesday noon. Did say she might jiave lived from Sunday to Wednesday with of a grain in her body.

Regard this as only possible not probable if she had rested quietly from Sunday night until Tuesday morning when a capsule was given followed by three hours of tetanic convulsions would say that it indicated strychnine poisoning but not necessarily the convulsions following the cup of ten on Sunday indicated stryohnine poisoning if the vomiting on Saturday night were a mere fit of indigestion. If a post mprtem examination revealed strychnine might possibly believe the patient died from strychnine presuming she had died in the convulsions on Sunday. Anderson then put a long hypothetical question detailing Mrs. Pettit's health before 'Sunday which waa pictured as almost perfect and nsked the witness if she had died after Sunday's convulsions and a post mortem revealed strychnine if the witness would have any doubt as to the cause of her death. "Well, I should think that stryohnine had something to do with it" (laughter,) If she were suffering from a low grade of fever on Suuday and died in convulsions and a post mortem revealed strychnine would you doubt the cause of death?" "Yes, I would want to know the nature of the fever." "Well suppose it is common everyday fever that never kills." "I never met tliat kind of fever in mv p-actice." "Do your patients di?"

Another hy pothetical question covering the sicknest and a supposed post mortem revealing strychnine wits put and the witness sal3 in his probable opinion strychnine poisoning was the cause. "Probable opinion—how many opinions have y.iu?" asked Anderson. Could not swear that Mrs. Fisher died of idiopathic tetanus. She was a member of the Episcopal church and they keep a record of the cause ol their members death. Did not report to them that she diei of malarial poisoning complicated with spinal menengetis. Dr. W. T. Gott assisted witness iu the case After the Pettit case came up. consulted with Mrs. Bennett Ingals to refresh his mem. ry on the case of Mrs. Fisher. Had copy of the states' hypothetical question after he had been subpoinoed oy the defense. .Refused to answer the question to the states' attorney in the corridor some weeks ago as he wished to reserve tbe opinions for the jury. Graduated from an alapetluc school and praotice homeopathy. Has read up to testify went to Kumlers house to ask him to stay ut his boardhouse, the landlady of whioh is Kum lers aunt. Went at other times also. Some of the hypothetical questions of the defense were read to witness and he did not state what his answer would be. Did give his opinions on some of the points involved.

REDIRECT.—The hypothetical questions of the defense were read three weeks before the trial began. The previous good health of Mrs. Pettit is a very important fact in determing the nature of her sickness. If she had been ill for two weeks before it would raise doubts of Btrychnine poisoning.

RECROSS.—The State's hypothetical question has been altered since it was read to witness.

A. O. RESER

Is court reporter of Tippecanoe and reported the habeas corpus proceedings. Emma Hawthorn was a witness. "Did she say the first time she visited Mrs. Pettit sho was suffering greatly, with face flushed?" The witness had no recollection of it but it

TO

in his offici­

al otes taken at that time. The state objected as t„e witness had no memory of the question. They were overruled and the notes were allowed to stand. Mis. John Kerr said there she was too frightened to know what was going on during the convulsions. Geo. W. Switzer said there that he scarcely slept the night of Mrs. Pettit's death, and probably not at all.

CROSS—-Dr. Black said in the habeas corpus, that Pettit had told him nothing of the administration of the tea and its being followed by the convulsions. Ihe defense in turn objected to the witness reading from his official notes and were in turn overruled. The attorneys for the defense then announced that they wiBhed an intermission for consultation and it was granted. Returning after the recess Davidson said "The defen dantrests his case."

In rebuttel the state called

ROBT. a. MCQUEEN.

Of Montmorenci, was a member cf the grand jury that found an indictment against Pettit. Black was beforo the jury and the testimony he had niado before a previous grand jury was road to him aud was made part if hit* ovidence there by his consent.

CROSS—Is 5(3 years old, John Fidler was then called but did not show up, and Kumler called out "Bring on your idler and we'll mnko him dance." Ho did not oome liosvever when called and searched for, so

EMMA HAWTUORNK

Was called. "How was Mrs, Pettit dressed iu her lifetime?" Objected to and objection sustained. Tne State took exceptio is and the witnuts was excused. Jesso Hawthorne was called but was not to be found so i1

MBS. LIZZIE MEUARRY

Was called. Dr. Black arrived at Pettit's on Wednesday afternoon about o'clock. He was not there previously that afternoon. Kuinler moved to strike this out as the witness did not arrive until two o'clock. '-It was one said the witness with a smile. Witness mot B1 ick in the yard. He wont South on Suuday staying about 15 minutes.

CROSS—Got to Pettit's at one or half past and so could not have talked with Black at 11:30 in the door yard there.

MRS. SOPHIA MEREDITH.

Got to Pettit's jus! before the death and did not leave until night. Black came about 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. He staid 5 minutes. That was the lirst time he was there after death.

CROSS—Witness was in the house at 12 o'clock. If Black was there at 12 o'clock witness did not see him but knows he was not there.

MRS. MARY a. MEHARRY.

Was ot Pettit's on the afternoon of the death, and met Black going away from there about o'clock. Was ut Nat Hamilton's last winter and met Black there. "Did he then state that Mrs. Pettit died of strychnine poisoning? Objected

fo

and sustained while

the witness cried: "He didn't state that it was strychnine poison," and DeHart heJd up both hanus in mock horor.

G. w. O'DELL

Talked with Yeager about Mrs. Pettit's sickness during it. Did he say anything about her exhibiting symptoms of strychnine poisoning. Objected to and objections sustained.

MISS SUE KERR

Was at David Meharry's on the morning of Feb. li, 1889, and saw Pettit in a buggy going past the house. "Did Mrs. Whitehead go out to the buggy?" Objected to aid objections overruled. Mrs. Whitehead come back to the house got her wraps and went to Lafayette with Pettit. (Struck out because the court remembered this had been put in on the main examination.) Was at Pettit's just before Mrs. Pettit left on her visit. The State then attempted to prove that Pettit had at that time asdeed Mrs. Pettit to go to South Bend, and she demurred but finally consented at' Pettit's request and statement that iie would not Oe at home for the next three weeks. The court would not allow it to go iu as evidence, however, and adjourned.

THURSDAY MORNING. The crowd this morning was small and all those looked tired but expectant. Pettit himself looked particularly weary and as though he wished it were a week hence.

A. J. KERR.

Lives in Sugar Grove about three miles from the parsonage met Dr. Black about 2 o'clock Wedi esda^ going to see Mrs. Pottit, About 5 o'clock saw Dr. Black coming from Pettit's house. "Did you then have a conversation with Dr. Black in which he said he had just from Pettit's that Mrs. Pettit died about noon and that he had gone there iu reponse to a telegram he had received from Pettit about noon asking for a consultation at 4 o'clock p. m.?" "Yes."

CROSS—Don't know whether he meant 4 p. m. or 4 a. m. MRS. ALICE CARTER came to the parsonage at 12:45 after .\£rs. Pettit's death staid till 4 or 5 o'clock: saw Dr. Black come a little beforo 4 o'clock and saw him leave.

CROSS.—Dr. Block might have been there before 12:45.

J. G. KERR

Saw Dr. Black on Wednesday at A. J. Kerrs about 5 o'clock going from Pettit's and heard the same conversation that A. J. Kerr testified to. "Did you see Mrs. Pettit and Dine about dusk on tbe road between the parsonage and the hall the night ol the festival?" The defense objfHJted and it was sustained.

CROSS.—Don't know that Dr. Black said 4 p. m. J. L. MEREDITH

Saw Dr. Black at A. J. Kerr's at 5 o'clock on tne day Mrs. Pettit died. The witness testified that he heard the sams conversation that J. G. Kerr and A. J. Kerr testified.

CROSS.—Don't remember whether it was 4 p. m. or a. m. that Black meant. HENRY S. WILSON

Lives in Newtown and knows Dr. J. S. Riffle. Witness had a brother named Alfred, who died in May 1872. Dr. Riffle attended Alfred during his last illness and witness was there also. Ha He was aoomatose condition when he died and had been for two or three days previous. (Tho defense objected to tne evidence of this witness at every stage.) Alfred was deranged in his mind lor several davs. Dr. Riffle attanded witness in 18G6 when witness had a breaking out aud also inflamni'dion of the stomach. Witness was hick only two days. Dr. Riffle first told witne-s Le had Texes fever and later told him it wasinflammation of the stomach iiad no contraction of the muscles. Dr. Riffle attended witness again in 1873 when the sickness lasted one day. Dr. said he was going to have typhod iever, but he did not have it. Had no contraction of the muscles never had a spasm in his life the symptoms of Alfred's sickness were a chill and brain trouble there were no spasms or muscular contraction there was no difficulty in giving him medicine.

CROSS.—Witness runs a slcating riuk every Saturday night. (Witness invited Kumler to c.uuo down aud skate.) Am a tooth carpenter, an insurance agent and have done some piiulit\r. "Frescoing.''" asked Kumler. "No, just house paint.iug." "Ever practice iawf" "No." Is somewhat of a carpenter aud lias been au nutionoer. lias no other business. Alfred suffered s.-vere pains in theb.iok. "In your opinion is inau deranged when he jumps from one subject to another?" "Yes." "Did you hem- the attorneys for the St.ito examine witnesses yesterday?" (Laughter.)

HENRY WILSON

Is a brother of Alfred Wilson. Dr. llillie said he had spiual meniugitis and spotted fever.

CROSS.—Alfred suffered in back of neck after a consultation the disease was pronounced brain fever tho sickness came on suddenly. $

JOHN IttiACK

In 1889 lived li from tho paisonage has lived in the neighborhood for 40 years. There is bridge over Shawnee creek half wnv between the parsouage and the hall where the festival was iu Feb., ISS'.I. Did you see W. F. Pettit and Mrs, Whitehead on £hat bridge the evening of Feb. 14 18S9, in a buggy alone goiug toward Wingate. Tho answer to this (jiie^ion was excluded.

The prosecution nere closjil aid an intermission of 2C miuutes followed. Judge ividsou offered a letter writby Dr. Black after the death of Mrs. Pettit telling of her symptoms. It was struck out,

The defense moved to strike out all Dr. Peters' testimony in regard to tho exhumation and analysis on the ground that Pettit had uo representative present. Overruled. The defonBe moved to strike outPrt f. Haines'testimony relating to tne analysis on the ground that it was made iu secret, without notice to the defendant and there is no evidence to show that tho parts were those of Mrs. Pettit. Overruled.

Kumler said the defense had prepared some instructions for the jury and asked tnat the jury bo instruced betore the argument begun. The court refused to do this. Tho prosecution also announced that they had some instructions.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON. The seating has been completely rearranged again and the jury sat in the old position along the west wall. The crowd was larger than at any time siuce the opening of the trial, Shawnee Mound having a large representation. Mrs. Shields occupied a seat at tho prosecutors' table with Mrs. Haywood. The attorneys and Pettit came in lato the latter confident and smiling. Judge Snyder said he wished to know how many arguments were to be made on the case. The state said they would have two and the defense asked for three and the request was granted. Both sides asked that the time ke unlimited and the court consented bat urged that expediency be used and said if the privilege was abused he would interfere. By content of the defense the name of Juines Long, telegraph agent at WiLgate, which was in the original indicrment was entered. The jury then filtd gin and Haywood began his opening argument. He commended, the jury on tueir close attention through the trial and said ho ould prefer to close the case as it is, but owing to the importance of the case, could not do so. He said Pettit, if guility, was deserving of the highest punishment. He then read the statute covering the case, and asked the jury if they found him guilty to haug him, as the life sentence punishment was only for cases where the ciimal deserve some mercy. As God fearing, hones-1 men you mu3t hang Pettit if you find him guilty. Pettit is either yuilty of murder iu the first degree or innocent. Mrs. Pettit who now lays mouldering in tho ground made tliis defendant what he was, and to he her it is that he owes the high positions he occupied at her death. She aied July 17, '89 and you are here to ascertain if her death was felonious. If she died of strychnine—it was either accidental, suicide or murder. When the law says you must conviot only when all reasonable doubt is removed, it does not mean every doubt—only reasonable doubt. Did Haitie Pettit die of Btrychnine poison? She died of something terrible—this the evidence all shows. You all saw Goo. Ford, an honest, sensible business man. He was Hattie Pettit's cousin, and fast friend. He saw her in South Bend and says she was in good health. What is this testimony compared to that of this man Cupt. Jack, a stranger who said she lcoked bilious when he passed her? She liud some tooth extracted while she was gono and oame home with sore mouth, oh very sore, so sore that she sang for an hour for Friday ni^ht of her return. She slept that night in the house whioh was not good enough for Pettit iu 'her absence. They say it was not aired but it did not ike Pettit orAdine sick The next moiuing that "poor, sick invalid got up and cleaned house.

NOTES.

There was "complete relaxation" on the part of all when it was finally settled that the evidence was ull in.

Col. DeHart aocuses Haywood of haying engaged Miss McMaunis to whistle a refrain at Pettit's execution.

Col. Wilson will not speak in the case the state making only two speeches. The defense will represented iu argument by DeHart, Davidson and Kumler in tho order named.

From the sledgo hammer bl ws which ex-preacher Pottit's attorneys are de livonng at the State's evidence, it looks the fallen divine would live yet to wed tho widow Whitehead.—Frankfort News.

The defense in the celebrated Pettit murder case, now on trial at Crawfordsville, is such that it begins to seem as if there is good grounds for a reasonable doubt that he causod the death of his wife by administering strychnine p?is on tc her. It would not be all ustouishing if tne reverend gentleman is acquitted.—Richmond Item.

The testimony of Dr. Blaok on Saturday, was that lie and Dr, Yeager told Pettit when he was first called iu, on the night of Tuesday, that Mrs. Pettit could'

not possibly recover. The bearing of this is to show the absonco of any motive on Pottit's part to bo dosing her with strychnine immediately after, as claimed by tho State iu tho opouing statement.—Lafayetto Call.

Tho examination of Dr. Jameson seemes to show that tho lino of tho defense will be something like this An acoideutal dose of strychuiuo was taken on Sunday afternoon iu tho tea given by Pottit Mrs. Pettit said at tho tiino that it tasted bitter, but did not say the broth or tho oil tasted bittor. 'lVis accidental dose caused convulsions, during which she pullod out two teeth and the wounds thus made resulted in traumatic tetanus from which followed the convulsions of Tuesday and Wednesday aud tho death. Tho stryohnine found in the body was that taken accidentally on Sunday, tho slight movements of the bowels aud kiduoys having not been sullicient to oausoits elimination.

Prof. Kobort A, King Ordained, At 2 o'clook Wednesday aftornoou Prof. Robert A. King was examined by tho Crawfordsville Presbytery preparatory to being ordained. Ho was received by letter from tho Jersey City Presbytery. Tho services iu the evening opened with a prayer by Kov. Mr. Love, of Newtown, followed by a sermon by Rov. J. A. Sherrard, of ltookville. Rev. E. B. Thomson, as presiding officer, then announced that tho examination of the oandidato in the afternoon had boon satisfactory and propounded to him the constitutional questions. Tho ordinary prayer by Dr. Tuttle followed. During this the seven ministers present stood around the candidate with their hands on his head. At the close eaoli ono shook him by tho hand at the samo time saying "We give you the right hand of fellowship to take part of this ministry with us." Dr. Tuttlo then delivered the oharge to the newly ordained minister, Rev. T. D. Fyffo following with prayer. At the close Prof. King pronounced tho benediction.
