DEATH DUE TO MORPHINE

SUCH IS DR. BEACHLEY'S OPINION.

The Difference in Symptoms of Compression of the Brain and Morphine Poisoning.

Some of the Fair Defendant's Little Attentions Toward Walstrom Took the Form of Night Robes With Pink Trimmings.

Close of the Second Week.

The Sheedy trial reopened yesterday morning with the usual large crowd in attendance. The testimony adduced yesterday was not lacking in interest, especially that of Dr. Beachley, whose opinion as to the direct cause of Sheedy's death is in direct conflict with that of Dr. Hart, who testified on Monday. It will be remembered that Dr. Hart gave it as his professional opinion that Sheedy's death was caused by compression at the base of the brain, due to the shock from the blow with the cane. This theory would throw the direct responsibility for the murder upon Monday McFarland making it necessary for the state to prove Mrs. Sheedy connivance with the darkey in order to hold him any way responsible. The testimony of Dr. Beachley is directly in opposition to this theory and while it does not fix the [crinie?] upon Mrs. Sheedy, shows that he found the conditions and symptoms such as to indicate morphine poisoning. The witness went into details to explain the difference in the symptoms accompanying compression and those of morphine poisoning.
