1892 TESTS FOR POISON AND BLOOD



In the Lizzie Borden trial, Dr. Edward S. Wood testified that he had
tested the milk containers that had been delivered to the Borden
residence on the day of the killings and the previous day and that
they were negative for poison. Do you have any idea WHAT tests could
have been performed for poison at that time?
Axes and hatchets that had what looked like bloodstains were tested
for blood and the tests were negative. What tests could have been
done to tell if a stain was blood or not?
Thanks to anyone who can assist me.
