WITNESS _BL__ISS HEARD
The Poisoned Woman’s Husband Tes-
tifies at the Fleming Trial.
THE WILL OF LIVINGSTON.
It Is Admitted In Evidence After a Hard
Fight by the Lawyers For the
Prosecution—Its Impor-
tance In the Case. -
NEW YORK, June 10.-—In the Fleming
trial the prosecution has now traced the
poisoned chowder and pic from the restau-
rant to Mrs. Fleming and followed it
through the hands of Mrs. Fleming’s
daughter to Mrs. Bliss. Florence King.
in her childish treble. told a story that
was replete with detail, that carried much
weight to the minds of those who, heard it.
It was to the effect that she heard Mrs.
Fleming say to her daughter Gracie, who
carried the chowder to Mrs. Bliss,"v“I hepe
you didn’t eat any of grandma’s chowder. ”
When court opened, the first witness called
by the prosecution was H. H. Bliss, hus-
band of the woman thought to have been
murdered by eating clam chowder con-
taining arsenic.
Mr. Bliss on the Stand.
When the name H. H. Bliss was called,
a man of florid complexion, partially bald,
with aclose cropped white mustache and
dressed in a light colored suit, with a
white waistcoat, walked slowly to the
witness chair. He was Mr. Bliss, Mrs.
Fleming’s stepfather.
“Did you knOW‘Robert Swift Living-
ston in his lifetime?” asked the prose-
cuting officer.
“I did.” Bliss then said that Living-
ston died in 1866; that he (Bliss) married
Livingston’s widow in 1868. and that
Livingston left a daughter, Mary Alice
Almont Livingston, the defendant known
as Mrs. Fleming. On the death of Mr.
Livingston, Mrs. Bliss was appointed
guardian of. the present Mrs. Fleming.
Mr. Livingston left considerable property.
Mr. Miller endeavored to introduce a certi-
fied copy of Mr. Livingston’s last will
and testament. This brought forth an ob-
jection from Mr. Brooke.
Mr. Bliss rarely looked at his step-
daughter while he sat in the witness
chair. He cast toward her but fleeting
glances. He often mopped his face with
a handkerchief as though he were perspir-
ing freely.
A Fight Over the \Vill.
Mrs. Fleming neVer by any chance
looked at her stepfather. The lids of her
eyes were half closed. At first she read a
letter which she heldln her lap.
Mr. Miller said that the will would
prove that Mrs. Fleming could receive
none of the money for the possession of
which it is charged that she killed her
mother except in the event of Mrs. Bliss’
death. The recorder took the will. He
informed Mr. Miller that it was too much
to ask a trial judge to pass upon various
complicated provisions in a will. He
should have prepared an abstract. He
had not done this.
Mr. Brooke contended that as Mrs. Bliss
had sold out her life estate for a lump sum
she had no further interest in this fund
and the will was inadmissible to prove
motive. Mrs. Bliss’ estate in it had been
absolutely extinguished. The recorder,
after an argument lasting the better part
of an hour, finally admitted in evidence~
the certified copy of the will.
The “fill Read.
Mr. Miller read the last will‘and testa-
ment of Robert Swift Livingston to the
jury. When the questioning was resumed.
Mr. Bliss said that after his marriage to
Mrs. Fleming’s mother they resided in
this city. '
He left the stand for a minute, and
Robert M. Marsac, from the surrognio’s
court. was called to prove the appointment
of Mrs. Evelina M. Bliss as the guardian
Of Mary Alice Almont. Livingston. She
was 9 years old in May. 1870. .
“Do you know the amount Mrs. Bliss
secured as guardian for her daughter out
of the estate of Robert Swift Livingston.”
asked Mr. Miller of Mr. Bliss when the
latter returned to the stand. . '
resultedin his death. ‘ ,
Mr. Brooke’s objection was sustained.
Mr. Bliss was then asked if. Mrs. Bliss
as guardian received any money. '
Mr. Bliss anwnred in the afiirmative.
He was Mrs. Biss’ bookkeeper at that
time.
“Do you know what she did with it?”
“It was invested. The books went into
the hands of the assignee 15 or 20 years
ago.”

The people have long since learned that
the most disagreeable medicines are not nec-
essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are
not. What is wanted is something mild and
sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera

pleasant to take when reduced with water
and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged
everywhere to be the anost successful remedy
in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any
number of druggists for the best remedy
they have ,for diarrhoea and fully nine out
of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In
