Tney “‘expert testimony’” as to nll other evidence. Late in the evening the jury returned to | <‘he_ courtroom and reported to Judge Coffey that they had agreed on a verdict in | favor of the will offered. | Attorney Heggerty of Knight & Heg- gerty immediately made a motion that the will,” notwithstanding the verdict of the jury, be denied probate on the ground that the evidence had rot proved it to be legally executea.

L Judge Campbell resumed the hearing of the evidence in the Figel case yesterday morning. Most of the session was de- voted to the testimony of expert witnesses, who again described the wounds on Hoff- man’s head and gave their opinions that ne could not have fired the shots himself. The witnesses for the d fense were ex- cused until next Thursduy. It is doubt- ful if the prosecution will finish its case this week. 5 Before his cross-examination began Dr. Morgan said he would like to change his answers to two of the questions asked him Saturday.

A TFATAL MISTAKE. | | Myrtle Richards Dies From the Effects of the Wrong Medicine, | } Myrtie C. Richards of 222 Buena Vista | street died yesterday morning from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid, taken in | mistake for another medicine. She had | been suffering from severe pains, and had | been given medicine to esse them. Sun- | day afternoon she played with otner | girls in the neighborhood, and at 6 o’clock | went howe on account of ber illness and took what she supposed'was the medicine | she had been taking, but got hold of a bottle of a solution of carbolic zcid in- | stead, The painfrom the acid was sup- posed to be caused by her trouble, and | she did not say anything about it until 11 o'clock, when it became so severe that she called ver mother. Physicians were sent for and they dis- | They worked with her until 6 o’clock yes- | | terday morning, but to no avail. Myrtle | was 16 years old and was her mother’s what treatment_the body had received at the Receiving Hospital and if he had heard that the steward there had found pvowder smudge two and a half inches in diameter around wound No.1and pow- der grains inside the mouth. He an- swered in the negative. Then the generai askea the hypothetical question, ‘If you had heard that this was the case would your ovinion as to the distance the pistol was held be changed? Judge Murphy ou- | jected 10 the question and was susiained. Barnes said that these facts had been | established and would undoubtedly be | proved when he would call the witness again. Dr. Morgan could not say which wound was received first. He was asked 1f be gnew of certain cases where persons had been woundeG and the brain 1njured and the patient had walked somé distance afterward. The witness knéw of no such cises. On being asked if the deceased might have infl:cted both the shots Dr. Morgan said he might, as far as the -ffect on the brain was concerned, but it was impossible for him to infl.ct the wound in the cheek without making powder marks and burn- ing the hair. In the redirect examination he testified that the bullet had severed veins and arteries and caused profuse hemorrhace. The court said that the idea of bringing out the profuse bieeding was to show that the powder grains would be washed from the mouth. *‘Yes,’ raid Mr. Ach, *‘the courtsaw the idea, but the counsel didn’t.” Coroner Hawkins testified to . being present at the suiopsy, and described the wounds on the head of Mr. Hoffman. He said he found no powder grains or marks in the mouth. He didn’t think the deceased could have shot himself from the condition in which be found the wounds. Dr. S. S. Kahn testified tbat he was present at the autopsy. He thought it was very improbable that Mr, Hoffman had shot himself. Henry Harris, a salesman for Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., said he never knew of Mr. Hoffman having or carrying a re- volver nor had he heard that Figel had lost nis key to the store. Onthe night of June 1 he wrapped up a checkbook and two | cashbooks for Figel who took the pack- | age toward the front of the store. | he returned without it. Later Harry H. Hoffman was recalled. He never knew cf the deceased carrying a re- volver. At the time of his death he was | planning to send his family to the coun- try and the family of tne witness was to go with them. On June 2 the witness found the piece of buliet in the telephone room and saw the blood stains on the car- pet in that room and in Rothch1'd’s office. The mailing clerk, Clarence Post, wa- recalled and testified that he never saw | any sinall bottles of ink about the offices. He was shown a roll of letter copies and identified them as some he nad copied for the firm. He said to the best of his knowledge he had mailed the orizinais, Dr. 0. F. Westphal was shown the re- volver in evidence and swore that Figel had owned one similar to it. Louis Friedman was sworn and told of seeing Hoffman on the evening he was ds to a moral certainty that the | constant companion, being a most n!'fec-( shot.
