TESTIMONY OF THOMAS C. DOEEMUS, JR. 257 



Q. What was the result ? A. Beyond the presence of* fat glob- 

 ules, which are very easily recognized and a little clotted caseine, I 

 saw nothing abnormal ; I am conversant with the appearance of 

 pus corpuscles and looked for something abnormal. 



Q. You are familiar with pus corpuscles ? A. Yes, sir ; I found 

 none. 



Q. How powerful was your microscope ? A. I suppose four or 

 five hundred diameters. 



Q. Did you taste this milk? A. I do not remember now wheth- 

 er I did or not ; I looked at it when it was evaporating ; I noticed 

 nothing about its smell. 



Q. What else did you observe? A. That has already been 

 given ; they agree with Prof. Chandler's analysis. 



Q. Did you state anything else that was abnormal ? 



Mr. PRENTICE A juror asked that we should take a sample of 

 commercial milk which would stand not higher than 102 and reduce 

 it in the presence of the jury fifteen degrees by water. If the jury 

 desire that, we are ready to do it. 



THOMAS C. DOEEMUS, JE., recalled by Mr. LAWEENCE : 



Q. Did you taste the contents of bottle No. 3 procured by you 

 on December 18 ? A. I did, sir. 



Q. When? A. I opened the bottle and took the seal off here 

 in court and gave Prof. Chandler a sample of the milk ; at that 

 time I tasted it. 



Q. Well, sir, was it sour ? A. It was to my taste most un- 

 doubtedly very sour. 



Q. That was on the 22d was it not last Friday A. I forget 

 the date. 



Q. I wish you would taste if that is the same thing ? 



(Bottle shown.) 



(Objected to.) 



Q. Test that milk with litmus paper? 



(Objected to ; objection sustained.) 



Q. I asked him if he would take a piece of litmus paper and put 

 it in that sample of milk and see whether it was alkaline or not. 

 The milk from the Blue cow taken on the 24th.
