254 TESTIMONY OF CHAELES F. CHANDLER. 



Q. Did you concur with the gentlemen present that they were 

 healthy cows ? A. I might say that a cow does not look to be 

 healthy or unhealthy, and I would not mean by that that she was 

 healthy. 



Q. If a cow was neither healthy nor unhealthy what state was 

 she in ? A. She might have been in that negative state ; I think I 

 can consider such a state as possible. 



Q. Will you describe the appearance of a cow that is neither 

 healthy nor unhealthy ? A. I just said it could not be described by 

 appearances. 



Q. Well, sir, what was the size and appearance of the cor- 

 puscles you found in this fluid ? A. They were about I should 

 judge, simply in a rough sort of way, they were larger than the 

 three-thousandth part of an inch ; I should say about the twenty- 

 four-hundredth part of an inch ; somewhere along there ; they 

 varied in size. 



Q. Well, sir, will you state further what their appearance was ? 

 A. They were under a microscope ; they had been lying in that 

 liquid, and perhaps somewhat enlarged ; globular bodies studded 

 with dark granules apparently on their outside ; under treatment 

 with acetic acid, these outside appearances cleared up they became 

 more transparent, and there were four or five dark bodies in there 

 which are termed nuclei.

 the contents of bottle No. 3, being the same that was so frequently 

 referred to. 



Q. Is that the bottle Dr. O'Connor has been testifying about ? 

 A. It is. 



Q. You gave it to him ? A. I did after testing it myself. 



Q. Tell us what you found in it ? A. In the first place I tasted 

 of it ; having heard the testimony of the witnesses that it was milk, 

 healthy and under normal conditions, I did not hesitate to taste it ; 

 it had a very offensive taste, and I spit it out as quickly as I could ; 

 that drew my suspicion to the character of the sample and I ex- 

 amined it further after sending Dr. Waller and Dr. O'Connor up to
