10 ‘MRS, WHARTON'S DEFENCE, "TWENTY-SECOND DAY'S PROCEEDINGS, Analytical Professors Annihilating the Prosecuting Testimony. A Seathing Attack on the Analyses, Br. Warren on Professor Aiken’s Antecedents. General Ketchum Said to Have Died of Pur- purie Fever, a Well-Known Dis- ease in Baltimore. THE TESTS ALL ERRONEOUS. Avywaponis, Md., Dec. 30, 1871. ‘The dying nours of the old year bring tranquil Wisions to Mrs. Wharton, and the promise of living put at least the year tocome. Her attorney-in-cluef, J. Nevitt Steele, has shown extraordinary delibera- on and preparation of the case for the defence, and his array of witnesses 1s formidable and gathered from all parts of the counfrs. The Jestimony of Proiessor McCullough, of Wash- Mgton and Lee University, demonstrates the qweakness of the conclusions of Dr. Aiken and abe chemist Toney, as also their process of annalyzation of General Ketchum’s stomach. He eharacterizes Alken’s triple test as of no account, ‘and Toney’s subsequent examination as childish. Be will be followed by several chemists, who will endorse his evidence and attest that Dr. Aiken fs not so skilled as he _ professed. on Monday it is thought that Dr. Edward War rep, of Baltimore, will take the stand as the pioneer of a series of able physicians who will testify that Ketchum died not of poison, and particularly not by antimony or tartar emetic, but pfanatural disease. This disease 1s well known mong medical authorities, and is described ‘wm all leading medical treatises as malignant purpuric fever, or, to speak more after the fashion ef the faculty, of epidemic cerebre-spinal minin- gitis—sometimes called im the vulgar ‘the cold plague.” Ths disease has been epidemic in Balti- more for a year past, and cases are cited by Dn Warren, similar m all respects to Ketchum’s Fymptoms, and the resnits of Ketchum's 1l- mess, and happening in the city mince the time of this alleged poisonin; Br. Warren was Medical Inspector-in-Chnef of G ral Lee’s army during the war, formerly professor in the University of Maryland and graduate of the medical colleges of baltimore, Philadeiphia and Pans, He is thick set, of a curly-headed, red and lack complexion, and is a popular and reliable family practitioner of Baltimore. He will be sus- tained in the main poluts of his evidence by Dra, Morris, Byrd, Baltwzeil and others. AN INTERVIEW WITH DR. WARREN. ‘The following are some passages of a conversa- @op held with Dr. Warren on Saturday :— “Pid not Dr. Donaldson testify that Ketchum ould not have died of malignant purpuric Iever {’ “Yes. He said that this fever always showed Premonitory symptoms, and was accompanied in- wariably by post-moriem elisions. Precisely the wontrary is tne fact. One of the distinguishing evidences of this disease 1s the absence of elisions, and It does not make itself apparent in advance, Canner says that it often impresses its victims with ‘he idea that they have been wilfully poisoned.’’ “Mas poisoning by antimony any paralie! results with purpuric fever *” “None. Tartar emetic produces fainting and moscuiar relaxation. Tue patient vomits upon ms pillow. The evidence shows that Ketchum was able to sit up in bed with a basin between his Knees; that he walked avout the room, aua even went cown into the yard, and that he threw ais arms about and showed counteractile power with is muscles. No man dosed with tartar emetic coud @o these things. I have heard all the medi- val tesumony for tne prosecution, except mm the case of one witness, and his 1 have read tn the oficial copy. 1 am satisfied by experi- Bnce and by all the authorities of tue schools that Ketcham could neither have been pulsoned on Sat ny, nor Sunday nor Monday nor on Tuesday." “What effect on a man with this fever would the So of yellow jessamine or gelsemium we? «lt would for a short time brighten him up, give Bim relief and hope, and then he would suffer a suddenly, just as General Ketchum did.” “Do you Wink that when Dr, Williams adminis- dered this jessamine that did anything to aggravate the patient's case, supposing him to have the ma- iagnant purpuric fever?” “No, 1 guess It did no harm; gelsemium is a favor- Me arug with Dr. Williams; 1 don't like it, although he bas made a hobby of it; 1t is a poweriul drug on bhe nervons system, apd ought to be used with cau- hon; Williams is a good physician; | make no point Against his treatment. But here is something which seems to me unprotessional, not to say cruel. Gene era Ketchum was taken sick at Mrs. Wharton’s house. In a friendly spirit she sent to him to attend Mhe patient. His patient dies, and trom tat day to ‘this Dr. Williams has put himself in the position of Bhe prosecutor of Mrs. Wharton. He seems to re- gard this trial as less than the fate of a woman—a Whaow and mother; rater as his own indication. J would not, for my right band, stand upon that Bround is a matter of life and death.” “Doctor, do the medical gentiemen of Baltimore 2ook with much trust upon the professionat charac- Ser of Dr. Alken?” “No, sir. At a recent meeting of the Baltimore Association of Physicians Dr. Unler offered a re- Polution condemning the medical and chemical Testimony in this case, but for reasons of protes- sional delicacy they were objected to. Dr. Alken 18 @p old resident of Baitmore, but born somewhere in New England. | beleve his position as Btate analytical Chemist and rofessor of Chemistry at the Maryiand University gives him g@onsideravie hypothetical importance, which, ac- wording to tue Jocal coluinns of tae Baltimore news- Ts, be appears to turn to advantage in praising Paracuar brands of Whiskey, nostrums and canned Ponaimenis. These are, perhaps, errors of dignity merely, but the whole medical profession of te wountry may be sald to have arrayed itseif against Bis testimony on the the Schoeppe case."” “Can you go over (he points of protest against his Process and conclusions m that case?’ A BLAST VOR PROFESSOR AIKEN, “Only in brief.

Mr. STEELE—Dr. Aiken, in his re; ort, in speaking of the copper test, says the result was an amor- phous white powder. Was this indicative of te presence of antimony? WiTNESS—This vest would have given, if antimony ni been present, a crystalline powder, @ needie-like —_substgnce, in the tube, the crystals would have been very minute, of course, and they would have covered the inside of the tube; Ihave tried it and have seen it myself, from some experiments which we lately made with lartar emetic in Philadelphia; the prismatic form ‘was very distinctly recognized; I tried that experi- ment on antimony which was coaung copper; the disunction between a crystalline and an amorphous form is @ positive and important distinction upon this subject; I would refer you to Miller’s Chemistry, pp. 589 and 607. (rhe Doctor here read from the work.) There are other works which state that the Oxide of antimony is a crystalline substance. Ber- zelius says if antimony is burned the oxide torms in needles; Dr. aiken eave two methods, which he used W test the purity of his acid; at first he stated he poured sulphide of ammonium in, and that this method dia not show him the presence of impurities; he afterwards stated in the cross-examinalion, if 1 am not mistaken, that he tested 11 with Marsh’s apparatus, and when asked with reference to what sulphide of ammonium would do when poured into an acid, he stated that a white precipitate would be thrown down; he remarked that concentrated sulphuric acid would decompose it and precipitate a sulphuret, but that diluted sulphuric acid would not do it; this is @ statement Which 1s altogether erroneous; Ido not think he tested his acid sufficiently to Temove impurities, besides it has been proven tothe jury that ne aid not so test them. ‘The Attorney General here interrupted the wit- ness and the Court told him he must not say woat had or nad not been proved. He then resumed : Dr. Aiken said ne did not Know when he had tested 1s acids; he certainly did not test them for Unis case, which should have been done under all circumstances; certainly hydrochlaric acid 18 lable to have impurities iit, and it 18 a very difficult thing to get pure hydrochloric acid; 1 have been trying experiments with reference to this case in Phuiladeipma, and when I tested the hydro- chiorie acid which I had bought as chemically pure from one of the best manutacturers. i found, to my very great surprise, that it gave a dark coat. ing on copper, which proved the presence of anti mony or arsenic. (‘fhe Doctor here handed a boitie vo the jury coutaining the results of bis test, and it Was examined by tie jury, the counsel and the Court. It contained @ number of pieces of copper, which had been turned very darg by a deposit on them.) I immediately sent to the best house that deals in pure chemicals and got another sample; on testing Unat 1 Jound that it contained arsenic or antimony; at last I succeedea 1 optaining a pure specimen; last winter I had a number or students in my laboratory to teach them analytical chemistry; I gave them samples to tind out what they were coin- posed of, and they invariably reported antimony. ‘The Attorney General objected vo this as not being evidence. The witness then resumed :— I saw it myself; we went on for some time; I could not believe that there Was antimony in that acid until a persoual examinauon proved it to me; the acid I speak of was hyarochloric acid; hyarochio- Tic acid irequently contained autimony and arsenic, and they are verpadificult to separate Irom it; this happens because the chlorides are volatile sub- stances and in the distillation are carried over; if arsenic Was 10 the tube when sublimated tt woula be 1n the form of octahedric crystals. In reference to the experiment tried by Dr. Aiken, by evaporat- ing @ solution of the sediment im the tumbler and @ solution of tartar emeuc on a piece of glass, the witess said:—l both the solutions used by him had been anumony in the form of tartar emetic the crystals woulu have been of the same form, with sight modivcauons 1G both cases, or they could not have been tartar emetic; that 18 tmpossible; if tie crystals were not of the same form one of them could not have been tartar emetic; by form I mean crystalline stracture; as to the anaiysis of the sediment in tue tumbier, made by Dr. Aiken, it does not prove that it con- tamed tartar emetic or antimony either; | heard Dr. Alken’s testimony as to his estimating the amount of tartar emetic in the stomacn; it was quite a new mode of ascertaining quantity, bui a mode to waich I would not resort, pecause i ig 80 fall of inaccuracies that it is quite an impossibility to get anything at all out of it; 1 also heard the testimony of Mr. Toney and his statement of the mode pursued in obtaining spots; I saw the spots he got; 1 have made an esti. mate of the amount of metal in each; suca an ex- riment cannot be made accurately; | followed tm as closely as possible, and obtained an approxi- mation; I have produced hydrogen by the use of pure zinc, with sulphuric act water; aiter | had Satisfied myself by testing the purity of that hydro- gen in the manner described several times here I added a solution of tartar emetic containing the fil- ueth part of a gram; I produced about one hun- dred and twenty spots, I kept the porcelain iids upon Which lacted as long as any were produced. (the Doctor here showed the lids with the spots on them, of which there were sey- eral similar to the one produced by Pro- fesor Toney, only more than double tne size, wo the jury. and said, if my eye is correct, 1 believe them to contain twice, if not four times, as much antimony as the spots which Professor foney exhibited); now, if I get 120 spots from one-filtieth of @ grain, the average quantity of one spot 18 one-six thousandth of one grain; therefore one of the spots of Mr. Toney would contain from one twelve thousandth to one twenty- four thousandth of a grain of antimony; and would represent that part of @ grain of tariar emetic; it ts quite impossivie to manipulate with such mimute quantiues;{ do not believe you can dissolve one of those spots in sulphide of am- monium and get an orange red-coio! have tried the experiment with twenty of my ‘spots. (The Doctor bere showed a lid to the jury). You can judge for yourselves whether you see any orange color; it was @ yellowish cylor which | obtained, which 1s undoubtedly principally sulphur; the ob- ject in Marsh's test is to get enough of the suv- stance to subject to other tests; if the quantity is too small it does not afford any evidence at ail as to what 1s the nature of the biack spot. Mr. Steele baving asked the witness a tion about the application of ammonium to one or Foe oa two o1 the spow as detailed by Professor Toney, wit- ness said tke quantity of the spot is entirely insufficient to make any reliable tests at ail, elther the sulphide of ammonium testor tne nitric acid test; | heard what he said as to ins experiment with the blowplpe; if any antimony had been present, even if not enough to give him the metal, it would have coated the charcoal with a white encrustation; looking upon such amass with the microscope 1s not a method chemists use; they would cut out the portion fused and mash it fine in an agate mortar, and wash off the fine particles, and the metal re- mains in the bottom, if there is any; Professor Toney spoke ol his having let the gas go through nitrate of silver after the suspected solution nad been putin the generalizing flask, and said that he got a dark color In the evening, and in the morning there was a brown precipitate; nothing else has been Gone with that, therelore that experiment amounts to nothing; even disregarding the orgauic matter in the precipitate obtained by him from the acid solution, no analytical chemist would form an opinion as to quantity of antimopy in such a precipitate; it is laid down in aii the books on analytical chemistry, and even gencrai chemistry, which speak of it, that Unis antimoutal precipitate must first be freed or purified from the iree suipaur which it al- Ways Contains. Mr. Toney remarked that this pre- cipitate did not contain any free suiphur, because he washed the sulphuretted hydrogen. Now, he ex- posed his sulphuretted hydrogen precipitate from Wednesday might to Friday morning, and every chemist knows that you cannot expose a solution of sulpharetted hydrogen for even an hour without sulphur falling down. Of course, the longer tne saturated solution is exposed the more sulphur will tall down, until it 18 at last compietely ae- composed and does not contain any sulphuretted hydrogen at all; I heard his testimony about the weighing of the twenty-five bundredths of a mill- grain; | believe that in the mode described by him at could not have been accurately and reilably done; this analysis 18 absolutely unreliable in that re- spect; the analyses or tests used by Professor Toney do not establish anything at all, except that he nad a trace of a metal there, and it did not prove what that metal was, and it was noi in sufficient quantity for any purpose whatever. To Mr. Hagner—The generally accepted opinion is that im powoning cases iL 1s always necessary to pro’ >ce the metal in sufficient quantity to be ope- Tate’ on afterwards. To Mr. Steele—I have seen some of the experi- ments tried which Dr. McCullough detailed yester- ay, and assisted in mak! some of them; I heard his description of the results; they were the results which were obtained by operating with yellow jea samine and chioral, as he described. Mr. Steele nere read from ‘Taylor on Poisons,” page J54, the objections to Marsh’s vest. WitNess—That is my opinion of that test, Mr. Steele then read from page 356 that ‘It would be better to abandon the evidence altogether where no other test but Marsh’s was used.’? WiTNrss—There must always be a sufficient quan- tty of metal to contirm the matter by using the most characteristic tesis, If Marsh’s test had veen used then Heinch's test shonid be, and vice versa. ‘The witness was here handed over tor cross-exam- ination, which was still going on at three o'clock, When the Court adjourned until Monday morning at ten o'clock, when his cros#examination will be completed.

Patrick Murphy, of No, 181 North Seventh street, the young man who was beaten during a row in Jobn Magner’s saloon, on North sixth street, near Fourth, on Christmas night, diea yesterday morn- mg of his injuries, Murphy was twenty-five years old and leaves a widow. Un Christmas night, abour eight o'clock, he went into Magner’s saloon to get a drink, Richard Marphy and bis brother, William uriey, Jonn Casey and others entered the saloon soon after, Casey, mM appears, was invited into the saloon by Magner, but declined, saying he had no money. Never mind that; come in,” replied Magner, and Casey entered without further protest, The party drank untill they all got under the influence of liquor Magner, Mushed with drink, insulted Casey for not treating. A war of words ensued, which soon came to blows, and during te row Murphy was knocked down and stamped upon while interfering to make peace. In his ante-mortem deposition Murphy said that Magner knocked bim down, but he could not tell who jumped upon him. At the inquest last evening, before Coroner Whitehill, the following testimony was eiicited:— THE TESTIMONY, Robert Walsh, sworn, deposed—I did not know the deceased; at avout seven o'clock on the evening of the 25th | went into John Magner’s liquor store, North Sixth sireet, near Fourth; | was sober at the tume aad knew wnat l was doing; | saw Magnus while there, and we had several drinks with Wil- lam Hurley and others velore we went out; the ouly persons that | knew were Casey, White and Hurley; there were singing aud merriment there; | got drunk and forget what happened; when I came to my remembrance I found myself in bed; saw no disturbance in the liquor store; Hurley aud | reside in the same house, ‘This witness could not sign his name to his depo- sition.

Denis Morand testified that he was atthe resi- dence of the deceased the night he was hurt; ] was there when he came in; he had his hand on his stomach and said to mis wile, “On!

Magner attempted to put bis hands on Patrick, when the latier repelled him, saying, “Ye have done enough to me.” When Mrs. Mur- phy accused Maguer of injuring her husband he de- mied tt. The inquisition was here adjourned until Tues- day evening next ana Magner was remanded. THE PATERSON MURDER. No new developments have transpired concern- ing the death of Ransom F. Burroughs in Paterson, the Coroner’s jury having adjourned over until Tuesday, to allow a chemical analysis to be made of the stomach, in order, if possible, to discover the trace of arsenic. The stomach is now in the hands ol Professor Doremus, in New York, for this pur- pose. . In the minds of the Paterson people there is no doubt whatever that ihe young girl Libbie Garra- brant, who acted as Burroughs’ mistress and house- keeper, was either the murderess or was accessory to the crime. If the chemical analysis of the stomach shows any arsenical «races the verdict of tne Coroner's jury can easily be foretold, and that is that Burroughs came to his death by poison, and that Libbie Garrabrant was accessory to and cogni- zant of the crime. A damaging feature in the evidence against Libbie Garrabrant is in the fact that the letter found m Bur- Troughs’ pocket was signed “Charles K. Burroughs.” Libbie denied at first any knowledge of this letter, but afterwards confessed that she bad written it, but at Burroughs’ dictation. Sut the de ceasea’s) name was “Ransom F, Bur- rougns,” and not “Charles,” although for some reason he usually went by the name of “Charley.” He could, however, sign his own name, and always signed it “R. F. Burroughs,” as can be proven by numerous papers now im posses- sion of diferent parties in Paterson. Conse- quently, had he _ dictated the signing of his name he would have said k, F. Burroughs, and not Charles kK. Burroughs, on so important a letter. So it is well thought that Lipbie Garrabrant wrote the note herself atter Burroughs’ death anu stuck it into his pocket, and that not only Burroughs dit not dictate i, but that he never knew the first thing about its existence. It 1s also im- portant to know that the note was merely stuck one end iuto Burroughs’ vest pocket. The end stuck out, mg | asi ithad been put there by somebody else. It was not muased nor crumpled, nor folded small enough to go down entirely in the pocket of Burroughs’ vest, It was reported hearoee morning that tne Gar- rabrant girl nad hung hersel/ in her ceil in the jail, but such Js not the fact. She is not only alive, but weil and cheerful, and does not appear to have the Jeast anxiety about the result of the Coroner's in- vestigation. She either has a most remarkavie herve, or is notin her right mind (althougi she ap- pears sane enough). it 18 thought the young man, Van Winkle Bogert, who assisted Garrabrant in the removai of the fur- niture, alter Burroughs’ death (to taramus), 1s more imp in the affair tan has yet tran- spired. His story is pretty straight, but he does not bear the best of coaracters, and, furthermore, his own evidence cc flict3_ with that of ovner witnesses who have nothing to conceal, He was yesterday released trom custody on $250 ball, lo appear as a Witness, if wanted by the Grand Jury, but was no sooner out than he was re-arresved on tne charge of receiving stolen goods—the furniture stolen from Burroughs?’ house. He gave $500 more ball to appear and answer this charge. it Is conceived that It is not unlikely Libbie Gar- raorant will confess the murder, if the evitience agalast her becomes much stronger, although there isnosign of anything of the kind yet, as she un- concernedly denies any knowledge whatever of the cause Of Burroughs’ death. It she is ty the only known object was to get possession of his fur- niture and household property, such a8 was found in _her possession. It may be perunent to state here that about ‘wo Years ago Libbie Garrabrant’s 8 was found dead—poisoned by arsenic—and the affair was then considered and adjudged a suicide, and has been 80 believed ever since, uatil the present case has given rise to some contrary expressions of belie And, what 18 ier po od stil, this woman's husban’ suddenly two or three years ume, also poisoned by arsenic considered a suicide.
