At quarter to five in the afterhoon he was wakened by someone tapping at his door, and the accused entered holding a bottle of whiskey in his hand. He offered witness a drink, which was accepted and within ten minutes he was asleep again. He wakened around nine o'clock in the evening, and then found that his gold watch and chain, his rings, and his money were gone. He immediately blamed accused of robbing him, and went to th« police office, where he got Con- stable McGlinchy to search the accused’s room, but the stolen property was not found. On en- tering the room the accused dropped something which proved to be a small! phial. Probably Chioral. Dr. Cade, in the witness stand, said that he had examined the crushed glass bottle, in which no trace of any drug could be seén The cork, however, and the crush- ed glass bore a smell very similar to chloral hydrate, and on com paring the scent of the exhi with the drug he was of opinion that the contents of the phial had been chloral.
