The English Ave. line is a hard schedule. It frequently happens that the English Avenue car outs off the River car, and the Marietta car. I have seen the English ave. car out of the Fair St.car, which is due at five after the hour.K. H. THOMAS, sworn for the defendant.I am a civil engineer. I measured the distance from the intersection of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The pancreatic juice helps digestion mostly in the smallintestine. It consists of water in organic salts of which sodiumcarbonate is the most important, and a number of ferments. The or-dinary time that it takes wheat bread to pass out of the stomachis not less than three hours. The time for a meal consisting ofcabbage cooked for about an hour and wheat biscuit to pass out ofthe stomach depends a great deal upon the mastication of the food.The times given above have reference to the most favorable condi-tions. If the cabbage is not well chewed,

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: This cabbage (State's Exhibit G) I don't think has been masticated at all so far as these pieces are concerned. There can be no doubt that these pieces would retard the digestion and the passage from the stomach into the small intestine. The presence of such cabbage would make it very uncertain as to telling before the food would pass out of the stomach. I couldn't say and I don't think anybody could say, how long cabbage and wheat bread in such condition would stay in the stomach. As far as wheat bread and

The acidity of the stomach does not suffice to show it, because it may

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: and no maltose would not necessarily mean that digestion had not progressed very far, because free hydrochloric acid may have appeared soon after the food entered the stomach and stopped starch digestion. In the average case I would say that starch had not been in the stomach very long. In an ordinary normal stomach you might find maltose before the food reaches the stomach, even in the mouth, it depends on mastication. If I did not find it in the mouth or stomach I could not say how long digestion had progressed. I was

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: no interference with the brain or any pressure on the brain, nodoctor could tell that long after death whether or not the woundwould have produced unconsciousness, because the skull may be brokenand considerable hemorrhage and depression of bone without any loss ofmemory even. There is no outside physical indication of any sortthat a man could find that can tell whether it produced unconscious-ness or not. If the body was found 8 or 10 or 12 hours after deathwith that wound and some blood appears to have flowed out of thewound, that wound would have

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: lack of acidity,starch or the lack of starch,maltase or the lackof maltase. The conditions are too variable. A great many thingsretard digestion, such as excitement, anger and grief. Formalde-hyde stops all formed processes of the pancreatic juices, andafter a body was embalmed with it I would not expect to find thepancreatic juices. It also destroys the pepsin, so that 10 daysafter death in the case of a body embalmed with formaldehyde noaccurate opinion could be given as to how long the cabbage (State'sExhibit G) had been in the stomach. Each stomach is a law

If the body of a girl between thirteen and fourteen years old was embalmed about ten hours after death, after taking out a gallon of fluid and putting in a gallon of embalming fluid, of which 8% is formaldehyde and

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: ten days after death. Many things retard digestion. Much depends upon the particular stomach,and its affinity for particular foods. There is a cycle of acidity and in the progress of digestion that increases, and then later it goes down. Food that is not thoroughly emulsified will remain in the stomach indigestly. cabbage like that (State's Exhibit G) and wheat bread, might remain in the stomach until the process of digestion is complete, which ordinarily would be from three and a half to four hours. They might pass through the body undigested. A formaldehyde embalming

There are sexual inverts who are absolutely normal in physical appearance. If I had a subject where there was a blow on the head, going practically to the skull, with no injury to the brain, and the face was livid, the tongue hanging out, with deep indentation in the neck, the flesh pushed out of place, with blue nails and lips, I would say that death was

All wounds bleed very freely,and there would be blood wherever the body was.Dr. J. C. OLSTEAD, Sworn for the defendant,Practicing Physician for 36 years. Given the facts that a younglady 13 or 14 years old died and 8 or 10 hours after death thebody was embalmed with a preparation containing 8% Formaldehyde,and

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: It nor the pepsin would be present in any degree 8 or 10 days after death. Embalming fluid destroys the pancreatic juices so that it would be impossible to find them. Babbage like that (State Exhibit G) is liable to obstruct the opening of the pyloris, and to delay digestion. Food of that character might remain in the stomach undigested for 10 or 12 hours irrespective of the acid found there. If shortly after death a doctor makes a digital and visual examination of the vagina, opening the walls of the vagina with his

I gave Dr. Harris his first position there. If a young lady between thirteen and fourteen years of age died and a post mortem examination was made within eight or ten hours after death, by a physician who make a digital and visual examination to determine whether there is any violence to the vagina or not, and inserted his fingers for the purpose of deciding, and the body is embalmed,

I am not a specialist of the stomach, but I am and have been teaching diseases of the stomach and all these cases come under my jurisdiction. Dr. Westmoreland is a surgeon, not a stomach specialist. Dr. Hancock is not a stomach specialist. If you find starch granules in the stomach undigested and cabbage undigested and thirty two degrees of hydrochloric acid in the

As to whether the cabbage had been digested or not, if whole pieces of cabbage were there I could tell, but if you could not find the cabbage either with the naked eye or the microscope, I would say that it had been digested. I don't know how long it takes an ordinary stomach to digest turnips. If a 13 year old child ate cabbage and bread on Saturday and her body was found that

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: REDIRECT EXAMINATION. That cabbage doesn't look (State's Exhibit G)as if it had been chewed at all. Cabbage chewed that way would behard to digest.JOHN ASHLEY JONES, sworn for the defendant.I have known Mr. Frank about a year and eighteen months. Hisgeneral character is good.CROSS EXAMINATION.

This is the letter I wrote to the Grand Jury: Mr.W.D.Beatty, Atlanta, Ga. My Dear Sir: Without having the slightest intention of interfering in any way in matters which do not concern me, I believe the interest which any good citizen has in impartial justice warrants my saying that the business men to whom I have talked, commend very strongly the attitude of the Grand Jury in its disposition to at

Fractured skull doesnot necessarily produce unconsciousness. Cabbage is a carbohydrate.It is considered the hardest food to digest among carbohydratesbecause it has so much cellulose, which is woody fibre. The olderthe cabbage is the more cellulose it has. Cabbage gets its diges-tion in the mouth. That cabbage (State's Exhibit G ) has not beenmasticated thoroughly. They have been swallowed almost whole. Rawcabbage is easier digested than cooked cabbage. Cooked cabbage isthe most indigestible form of it. It

Bread and cabbage would not begin to pass out of the stomach until 1 1/2 to three hours. A blow on the back of the head could blacken the eye. It would be perfectly possible for the epithelium of the vagina to be ruptured by the fingers in making a digital examination it would be more liable to rupture ten hours after this than immediately before this. Decomposition destroys the

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: stomachs have certain idiosyncracies. In normal stomachs is supposed to go along certain stipulated rules. You find free hydrochloric acid in any stomach that has food in any stage of digestion. As to whether you could ever find free hydrochloric acid in the stomach immediately after taking Ewald's test breakfast, would depend entirely on the state of the glands, and how long previous digestion had been in the stomach. As to the total acidity in a stomach after such a test, that is for a laboratory man. If you take cabbage out of a
