being in the cup. I did nofc wash the CU P and saucer out that I gave her the tea in. My wife must have washed them up. Sub sequently, when the police were searching for some packages at Dean's request, the accused asked his wife : " Do you want me to go." She said: "If you are innocent you had better go and prove it," whereupon Dean replied asserting his innocence. Mary Dean, the wife of the accused, de posed that she married her hnsband in 1894, but was on unfriendly terms with him just before her confinemenb at the end of the year. On March 1, after having had words with her husband, and telling him that he ought to have married some other girl to whom, he had been engaged, she drank some lemon syrup, and noticed a bitter taste in it, the same as in some beef tea she had five weeks before. After taking the lemon syrup she became sick. Subsequently she took some of the contents of the bottle to a chemist to be examined. On the morning of March 3, as she, was unwell, her husband gave her some porter, in which there was something white ab bhe bobtom. On her refusing bo drink ib on bhe plea that ib was sour he threw it over the balcony. Later in the morning he brought her a cup of tea and some toast. He poured the tea inbo a saucer, when she nobiced a white sub stance clinging to the edge of the teacup. On her asking what it was he replied that it was the cream off the milk. She put the cup to her lips, and her husband told her to drink it while it waa hot. However, she sent him .out for a neighbor, and put a por tion of the tea into a tumbler, which she concealed. Her husband came upstairs, and asked her if bhe tea had done her good. Afber she had replied Yes he took the cup and saucer out of the room. On the follow ing night her husband brought some medi cine to her, telling her to drink it. She said: "It does not look nice," and referred bo a milky fluid that was floating on the bop.
