PATHOLOGIST'S EVIDENCE
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day. The trial of Munn is expected to last -well into next week. This morning Dr. Gilmour, pathologist, said that the only possible conclusion was Mrs.> Munn died of strychnine poisoning. She must have had a dose on 4th February to produce the attack described by Mrs. Gill and another dose on 11th February to produco the fatal result. He concluded that the woman had had a dose between the two visits of the doctor on the Friday. Answering the foreman of the jury, the witness said that a severe dose would cause a convulsion, but a small dose might only cause twitching. Dr. Milson also gave evidence, and was cross-examined by Mr. Northcroft, who sought to show that Mrs. Munn might have taken ; the strychnine herself for an unlawful purpose, even though she was mistaken regarding her condition. Dr. Milson said that he had never heard of atrychnine being taken for such a purpose.
