year practically duplicated those
obtained from bpecrmens taken
from the body immediately after
the death of Meyer September 7 of
last year.
Under the questioning of Prose-
I cuting Attorney Frank Stephan,
the witness testified to having
found .05 milligrams of poison in
five grams of the specimen of kid
ney, liver f.nd syieen ud .10 mil
ligrams in a ten gram quantity of
the specimen. Five grams of the
specimens taken from the intesti
nal tract or large and small intes-
I tine yielded .03 milligram of poi
son, a further ten gram sample
yielding .06 milligrams upon
analysis.
On the basis of a normal weight
of kidney, liver and spleen of 2000
grams the result would indicate
the presence of a little less than
one-third of a gram of poison in
these organs. Estimating the to-i"paper
tal weight of the intestinal tract
to have been 3500 grams, a total
of 21 milligrams of poison would
be indicated.
Assuming an equal distribution
of the poison throughout the en
tire system in the case of a body
weighing 165 popnds, the total
poison content of the body would
be a little over nine grains.

peering at him from the jury box.

He answered a long list of ques

said he would not vote for the
death penalty.
Before noon only five names re

expected a new panel would have
to be drawn.
C- L. Hamilton of Oakland and
