INDIAN MURDER TRIAL.
MORE SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT]
(Received Jan. 9, 8.20 p.m.) AGRA, Jan. 9. Major O’Meara, who conducted the exhumation, gave evidence that Fulham’s remains were 1 remarkably wellpreserved, this possibly being due to the presence of arsenic. The symptoms described by Mrs. Fulham in her letters were compatible with arsenical poisoning by small doses extending over a long period. A mixture of atrophine and cocaine would produce symptoms of heartstroke, but Fulham’s temperature was not high enough for it. The prosecution read a letter from Clark instructing Mrs. Fulham to artificially raise the thermometer so that the reading would be consistent with the temperature in a case of heartstroke.
Major O’Meara added that there was nothing in the hospital records to suggest that- Fulham was suffering from paralysis: A chemist who conducted the postmortem gave evidence that he failed to find poison, excepting a slight arsenic in the thigh-bone.
