Before placing Dr. Schultze on the

sy. He testified that death was due
to asphyxia fromcstranguiation. al-
though there ware no marks on the

would attempt to show that when
Mrs. Sasha’s body was taken from the
lake. her tongue was against her
teeth. thereby proving that strangulw

“Suppose that the tongue were
against the teeth two days after

was due to strangulation?” asked

there had never been a time when the
people of the country and of the Nor-

the improvements that were being
made. and incidentally remarked that
a movement was now on foot to consol-
