Unger, who is charged with being the chief conspirator ia the case now on hearing before Judge Tilley, have been disioiered. They were compounded hy a druggist at the direction of Miss Defen-hneb, who gave the name of her sister, Mrs. Ada Wells. Expert chemist will examine the papers.

Ilcr illness prior to her death, the Bute believes, was feigned until she received medicine from some source which may have caused her death.

The lnwyers for the defense leaped to their feet. Dr. Unger paled a little as his eyes fell on the traveling box thjtj he knew so well. This is too much tragedy!" they shouted.

We object! We object! But the trunk remained. Mis Clement was first witness of the dny. She was employed as a reception room girl in tho office of Dr. Unger. The witness said MIr Defenbach called On the doctor almost every day.

She identified the trunk as one which Miss Defenbach had left at Dr. Unger' office, and into which she had seen the doctor place several article of womens wearing apparel after Marie Defcnhnch's death.
