After leading up to the admis- | sion made by Weiss as to improper relations with his brother's wife, At- torney McDonough asked Sergeant McCue if it was true that Weiss ad at first denied it and later ad- mitted it. The sergeant replied af- irmatively and Attorney McDon- 1 startled the court room with his next question. McCue Denies Hitting Weiss “He admitted it after h punch in the jaw from you, Le?" he shot at the sergeant “Oh no,” the sergeant replied. “Do you mean to say that you did not lay a hand on him except to lead him back to his cell?” the attorney pursued. “I don't believe I led him to the cell,” ths sergeant replied. “Did yon at any time have a po- | ticeman's night stick in your hand?" | the attorney asked. No. sir, I Mven't had a night | stick in my hand in a long time,” | the sergeant said. | “Did anyone have a stick in| nd?" the attorney asked. | “Yes, a cane, I had it,” the ser- | geant answered. “Did you call him a G- liar?” the attorney asked. “Yes sir,” the sergeant replied, Sergeant J. €. Stadler testified to his part in the questioning of Weiss. He acted as interpreter, as did Ser- geant Ellinger, when Weiss express- ed & wish to reply in German. The witness said, in reply to Mr. Woods, that he was present from 6 p. m. Wednesday night until 4:15 a. m., Thursday, and nobody struck or threatened Weiss, nor were any promises of any kind made to him. “Did you hear anyone SWear aliweig paving peen performed after McDonough | Weiss?"

He did not see sone strike Weiss, nor did he hear anyone threaten him. Chemist Found Cyanide Milton W.

He assist- ed in the autopsy which was made shortly after Stehr's death, and also a sted in the auto] on Stein. Questioned by Prosccuting Attorney Woods as to certain details of poi- soning symptoms, Dr. Bruce said he could not give an opinion, as he was not an expert witness. Dr. Vincent F. Mendillo testified that he and Dr. Bruce were at the hospital while Stein was dying Wed- nesday noon. They noticed that c anosis was present in the head, neck and shoulders and in gn effort to relieve the condition they extracted 200 centimeters of blood from the arms. Temporary relief resulted but Stein died without regaining consciousness. Tells of Samuel's Threat Samuel Stein testified that he knew.

William Buechner, police depart- ment clerk, testified that he was a notary public and took Samuel Weiss' confession at police head- quarters early yesterday morning. Questioned by Attorney McDonough as to whether or not Weiss was nervous, the witness replied that on the contrary he observed him to be cool and collected. Sergeant T.

Suspected Alcohol - Poisoning Dr. Waterman Lyon, medical ex-} aminer, testified that he went to 215 Curtis street on being called by the police. John Weiss had been dead 20 short time later he learned of the death of John Stehr at the hospi- tal and performed an autopsy on the body. He removed the stomach and turned it over to Mr. Daven- port for analysis.

At the time of the deaths of Weiss and Stehr, there wkre no chemical indications of poisoning by cyanide, Dr. Lyon said, but the examination of Weiss’ stomach disclosed the presence of cyanide, the autopsy on the body of disinterment at Fairview cemetery. « Dr. Moses Kupelian testified that potassium cyanide and sodium cya- nide were poisonous. Blueness as noted under Stein's skin, while a symptom of cyanide poisoning was not exclusively a symptom of cyanide poisoning, Dr. Kupelian said in reply to Attorney McDonough. Discuss Cut in Weiss' Mouth Attorney McDonough called Ser- geant Feeney to the stand and ask- ed him whether he had seen a lacer- ation inside Samuel Weiss' mouth before court today. The sergeant re- plied that his attention had been called to a laceration or condition in the man’s mouth. Asked concern- ing Dr. Kupelian's statement as to the laceration, the sergeant was pinned down to a ‘“yes or no” an- sweg but by permission of the court was allowed to elaborate, he heard Weiss declare that Sergeant McCte had punched him in the jaw when he would not admit his guilt, but he also heard Dr. Kupelian say that the laceration could have been caused by the pressure of teeth against the jaw as in the grinding movement of the upper and lower sets, and that if a punch had been delivered with sufficient force to lacerate the inside of the cheek, there would also be a mark on the outside, City Items Night school, $6; day school, $15 a month.
