Foil, one of the physicians at the aulop-! aulop-! sy on murderer Kcmuilor. filled ajar of fragments of Keninilcr's body to bring here for scient'lie purposes. That jar was stolen by somebody. Kommler's skull was sawed into four pieces nml thoroughly scraped. Dr. Daniels took one piece, which shows the effort of the electrodes. Dr. Daniels thus drsbribo.i it: 'The blood channels within theeirolo w here the electrode touched are all colored col-ored a dark blue, while outside of it they ate rod. The blood vessels lit" bo tween a thin membrane, liiclt has horn removed, ami when weaatved the skull open wc found that tint blood within the circle of the electrodes was like charcoal. Tho application of tho current cur-rent had absorbed all Ihe water of the blood. Between the tw o layers of lone which composo the skull is a sponay substance, which, acting a a cushion, protects tho brain against blows on the head. Within the roinpas of the elrc trodtt this had dUanpearpil, being th ird up by the electricity ." The doctor had two vials, ono filled with Mood taken from the right side of Kommler's heart It I somewhat darker ami a little thicker than that taken on the left side, which is In tho other bottle. The poeiilUrlly of ihe blood is that It has remained in the same liquid state it when It win taken from the heart. This has been noted in persons who hate met an electrical death anil Is called eloetrosl. Ihe Mood of a person w ho die a natural death quickly coagulate, anil when placed in a dish Ihe serum rise to the surface, while the lilirinit form a tub-stance tub-stance of the oonsiMenry of liver at the bottom of the tlish. , Thoorotioiilly," said Dr. Diuiiel, "the electrical" current hi destroyed Ihe librine. The examination of the blood may reveal whether this I the real cause, or It may gitr u nu light on the question.
