And tho petL iion of the subject had sometimes lo be reinforoed by a pomniary dunovnr to ?fce sovereign.

Mr. Editor:?I sincerely regret that I' IV,el again compelled to enoronch npou your valuable uolumus, beoauao 1 did not, aud du not doajro to enter into n controversy with ono whom I eatcom so highly. But I muat neudM imposo upon your genua* ty in ailf-dctinw. I am witling to leavo the question, whether my tostimony was "utterly nu gatory," or uot, just whcio it stands now. If J huvo not demonstrated '?atisfuo'orily that my testimony was basod upon strong grounds, I will forbear to add any new tuut'er now, as rejoinder to you, iu order to uyoid a reply which would proloug the di*cu.<<*inn. v/u uio m;001 hi poiut, however, I liavo a fow words to say, Ah you have no generously abstainod from boiog rigor ous with nio, I will uot dwell upon the singular, but porhap* unimportant faot, that you hnvo considerably modified your expression with refercnoo to tho prcsenco of strychnine in whiskey, for in your first editorial you said it was* oOcn though not ulways" to be diseovorod, and thnt "it is a well known fact,' whil-s In your socond editorial, you speak of oqi question as ?'whether whiskey doon nomctimr* oontain traoos" of strychnine. I will let that pa?s, and procood to quoto from your lust editorial, ns fo'lowa : ? Tiie determination of the first point we leave to bis memory and that of oth. era. As to second, we can appo.l to his r.adiug to sustain our o ' n )for, when nsk ed on the witness stind if he had over known the quantity of strychnine in whiskey to kill the imbiber, lie answered *'liot of. his own knowledge, l?ct that ho hut! read of such an ooourronee." Now, Mr. Editor, that is ovidently a a settler for my, for it apparently contra dicts my assertion luudo in my luxt arti cle, that? "iu the oourse of my rending I haV6 neverseert the assertion demonstra ted." But unfortunately you !6#n upon a broken roed when you appeal to your uioaiory in this matter. It you will re f'rwh y??ar nwtaioiy Ujr referring to any or all of tha geutlcuon who wero nearest to m^f and listened with iotaaae interest to my testimony, vis, tho judge, th<< stenographer, and the eouasel for the defaaaa and tho Htata, you will kmrn thst you aro h orror, altogether, and that tha question was not asked at nil iu the fhrm iu whieh you claim and that 1 uoither said that 1 had 'read' of tha ease, aor that the hnb.b r ntjs 'killed.* When a*ko4 if \ had over known strychnine to be found in ordinary whiskey, (or s?mo questioy of similar purport,) ? replied : ?.Not ol my own kn wl tdge?I at?I htra asked llm iudgo whether it Would b?

Aod wy properly, too became neither my iu for maul nor I enM uj whether or Dot the ttryehntne had been int reduced for cri^|pai purposes in this cmc. I will bete afcue th?t I do oot make thii correction of jour error of memory, frooi my own lyqiboiioa. i'ev, but from tbo recollect iou of the ae inael for State wd defence. With relereuoe to the latter part of jour editorial, I ae. knowledge tbat "five engi?al aoa lysine* are rather a narrow baaia tor ?u indue, tioo." I If my tcatimonj wan to be i??dcrad "uttprly nugatory" by tbia "well bnowo faot, that itryobiiine ia often, though not always, to be diacovered in whiskey,' I felt called upon to deooaatrate that tbia ia not a "wellknown fact" at all. which I did bj showing that the higheit authorities on medical jurisprudence, and othera who ought and would auroly bo a ware of it, are entiroly ionooeot of apy knowledge of it, eto., aod that I fail ed to find it in all the apecimeaa of common whiakoj-acces*iblo to me. When, however, you. Mr. Editor, who | bj virtue of hie vast and varied learning aud the fact that jou have eo often de lighted your roarers, with your able aad ! pleasing articles on aatrouoiuiaal as J oth er philosophical aubjeota, enjoy a well earned reputation aa a scientist, m?ko the assertion that it is "a wellknown fact that strychnine la often, though not | always" discovcrablo in ord'.oary whis key, and as foreman of a jury introduod tliia "wellknown fact" aa on element in an important trial for murder, the onus probandi rests upon jou, mj dear air. It is not exactly logical to ask me to "broadly deny," and "noil to tho counter this popular fallacy," etc. Nevertheless, Mr. l)ditor, whenever you demonstrate that tho presence of stryohnine m wis key is reall estoeraed a wellknown fact, aud that tho search after this poison would not be a Quixotic enterprise, then it will be time enough, and it will le my pleasure to undertake to de termine this question in such unequivo- 1 cnl manner that it will be available for future use by medical jurists. Iu conclusion, Mr. KJitor, I desire to, oflcr you my thanks for the oourtosy and kind manner with which you have treat ed my communication, and to express t'ie suioero hope that nothing I have naid can be construed, even by the high est stretch of sensitiveness, 08 disT-espcct ful or otherwise improper toward you, for whose learning, ability and conscien tious pursuit of duty this wholo commu nity entertains tho highest regard.?
