DR. CLARENCE JOHNSON, sworn for the State in rebuttal.I am a specialist on diseases of the stomach and intestines. I am aphysiologist. A physiologist makes his searches on the living body; thepathologist makes his on a dead body. If you give any one who hasdrunk a chocolate milk at about eight o'clock in the morning, cabbage at12 o'clock and 30 or 40 minutes thereafter you take the cabbage out andit is shown to be dark like chocolate and milk, that much contents of anykind vomited up three and a half hours afterwards would show an abnormalstomach.

It is very possible that I have talked to the little girl in going through the factory and examining the work, but I never knew her name, either to call her "Mary Phagan," "Miss Phagan," or "Mary.
