Poison in meat case hinges on uncertain proof
In a criminal case against meat dealer Harry Matzke, the defense challenges the sodium sulphite theory as inconclusive. Hans Duden testified about self-administered doses of sodium sulphite, detailing symptoms from belching to headaches, while prosecutors pressed frogs tests and Kingan’s preservative practices, but the analysis did not prove sodium sulphite presence. The judge limited certain testimony and the defense sought to cast doubt on chemical conclusions and methods.
