DRUGEIST HALTED ’ IN COSTELLO DATA Brief Testimony of 0’Connor Marks Day as State Rests Rebuttal. By the Associated Press. , Mass, August 11—John J. O'Connor, manager of a Selem drug store, opened what was expected to be | the last day of testimony today in the | trial of Jessie B. Costello, alleged hus- band-slayer. | O'Connor appeared as a rebuttal | witnesses for the State and said that two sales of the poison which killed | Wwilliam J. Costello had been made in his store during the last five years. He was asked, “was Jessie B. Costello one of the purchasers?” but Judge Freder- ick W. Fosdick O’Connor to answer the question. witness then was dismissed Michael J. Murphy, employed in the city engineers’ department in Peabody, | next took the stand. He quoted Costello | as saying. the day before he died, that he was “feeling fine” and ‘“never felt better.” The Fyfe Statement Denied. John J. Costello, jr., a brother of the dead fire captain, denied several state- | ments made by Andrew J. Fyfe, sr.,| father of Jessie, when the latter was on the stand. 2 He denied he had told Fyfe that his brother looked poorly six weeks before his death. that he “dragged his feet and had no pep.” He said he never told Fyfe he had advised William to go to a specialist at that time. The brother also denied Fyfe's state- ment that he had told the defendant’s father that “they will have a hell of a | time finding poison in Bill with all that embalming fluid.” He reiterated his statement that Fyfe had said to him: “I'd like to find some one to take care of the kids. Jessie is unfit for it.” He also said Fyfe had declared: “Bill is too good for Jessie.” The witness denied he had ever told Edward O'Brine that Bill “looked tough™a short time before his death. | ‘The State then rested its rebuttal.| ‘The defense attorney asked for a recess. | It was decided not to recall Mrs. Cos- tello. Capsule Box Is Shown. | An attempt by the State to impeach | the veracity of Jessie Costello yesterday ran afoul of a little capsule box. | The widow had testified that medi- | cine in capsules was prescribed by one | of three physicians who attended her mother prior to her death a year ago. The State. in an effort to disprove this, summoned the three physicians | Mrs. Costello had named. Dr. Harris| 8. Pomeroy, who figured prominently in the investigation into Costello’s death, was the first to take the stand. He testified he never had prescribed cap- sules or medicine to be administered in capsules to Mrs. Andrew J. Fyfe. the widow's mother. Then Attorney Fran- cis E. Rafter of the defense took up the questioning. Slowly, dramatically, Rafter advanced | on the gray-haired physician as he pulled from his pocket a little square x. The box, Rafter explained, had contained capsules prescribed for Mrs. Fyfe by Dr. Pomeroy. “If the prescription is right and the | name is right, it must be true. But I don’t remember it.” said the phy-! sician. Rafter said he would produce a druggist to testify to the accuracy of the inscription on the box. Morning Session Lively. Dr. William Frederick Boos of Har- vard Universiy, State medico-legal ex- pert. had testified that a mixture of | oxalic acid and potassium cyanide | would be a “very poor cleanser for a | copper boiler.” He said that if the| mixture was allowed to dry on a boler, the cyanide would form a dust that would be “very dangerous, especially with children around.” Willilam G. Clark of the defense, a former district attorney. said: “Your | experience has been limited to non- fatal cases, hasn't it, doctor?” A wave of red ran up the d()rlor< face and met the white of his hair. He | leaned over the rail and in clipped | words, said: “In my qualifications. I listed 50 fltal investigations, Mr. Clark.” The sally was halted by the dlstnctl attorney, who leaped to his feet to| object. | Dr. J. Stewart Rooney, associate of Dr. Boos at Harvard, preceded the lat- ter to the stand. He said he did not De/ic:bus refused to permit| § | test | We Meet 4gain” LABOR SECRETARY DPAFTS DR. HEALY G. U. Educator Named Public Representative on Regional Job Board. 27th Professor With several hundred workers due for separation or retirement under the newly effected merger of the Bureaus of Immigration and Naturalization Sec- | retary of Labor Perkins has “drafted” | Dr. Thomas H. Healy, assistant dean of the Geergetown University School of Foreign Service, to serve as public | representative on one of the regional | boards set up under the merger to | examine qualifications of all employes | now on the rolls of the two bureaus. | The idea of having a public repre- | sentative on these examining boards is |{a new experiment which Secretary Perkins is trying out, the boards being under instruction to reach their de- cisions solely on the basis of merit and efficiency. Dr. Healy is the twenty-seventh pro- fessor added to the roster of the new administration, his selection having been due to the fact that in past years he has specialized in immigration and naturalization questions, on which he has lectured before the international collegiate group at The Hague and also at_Georgetown University.

Dr. Boos later said that the would not react in the presence of the embalming fluid. g Charles H. McNeil, assistant engineer fcr the city of Peabody, testified he| heard Costello, the day before he was | found dead, say that he ‘“never felt better in his life.” If the widow was downcast, there was no sign of it yesterday.
