THE AGRA TRAGEDY.
THE TRIAL CONTINUED. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.,' (United Press Association.' Calcutta, January 7. Dr. Clark read a statement to the effect that ho was requested to bring Fulham from Meerut to Agra in September, 1911, the Medical Board having certified that he was suffering from general paralysis of the brain. He consulted Captain Dunn, who is now in England. Evidence was given later that Captain Dunn advised injections of ether, diactalis and strychnine. The injections were given, and Fulham died shortly after. Clark accounted for the possession of gelsemimam and cocaine, naming the patients for whom they were obtained. The prosecution produced a letter showing that Clark visited Meerut on loth June. Mrs. Fulham, writing later, asked if the new powders were tasteless, as her husband refused food with the former powders. Another letter described his vomiting, and recounted the hospital’s opinion of the case, and added, “But yours I know.” Later she complained that the drugs for producing symptoms of heat stroke did not raise the temperature. Writing in August she said: “It’s hard on me, Plarry, darling. I only wish it was all over.” Later she wrote: “God give me strength to bear the cruel, bitter blow, for the disappointment of parting after all I have done isn’t my fault, Harry, dearie; it is simply fate.” Mrs. Fulham, who had previously applied for permission to marry, yesterday withdrew her request, not wishing to marry Clark.
