Dr. JOHN McBEAN, Sworn.--I was called
abouS 0, o,clook on Saturday evening to see
Va tier Harshee. When [ first saw him be
was laying in the gutter by John Loffland' 5
house. He was carried into Cady'S bar
room. His condition for an hour seemed
very much like that of dying man-no
pulse at his wrist-the clothes around him
saturate! with blood, and he was not able
to converse; found wound under the
right breast, three or four inches under the
nipple--penetrating the side between the
sixth and seventh rib, and glanced dowr
toward the pit Of the stomach. | probed
the wound, but was not able to ascertain
that the wound had penetrated the cavity o
the abdomen, as did not wish to give un.
necessary pain. | probed about three inches
ina slanting direction forward and TOWARD
| the pit of the stomach. | thought from
all the circumstances, as well as from the
nature of the discharge, that the knife had
penetrated the abdomen and wounded the
liver. | dressed the wound, and gave him
little wine. In an hour and ahaIt he
made several efforts 50 vomit, and did yom.
it freely: and he told me the wound was
bleeding. | examined him and found the
wound bleeding freely. Iopened the ban
dageS and placed him in position for the
blood to oescape externally. Tllensxt morn
ing fever had began to rise, and | bled him
freely He is now better, but not out o.
danger, and may die yet ofthe wound.
DR.. B. + BERHLEY, SSoorn.-I was cal
led to see Harshee about O'Clock on las
Saturday night, at Mr.. Cady's tavern
/ Found him AS described by DR.. Mclean
| attempted to use the probe, but it was
oEie,ted to by Mr.. Harshee, and de istet
on account of pain. (The knife being ex
hibited, sale, the wound might have beer
made by such knife.) ..
The Defendant having no testimony tC
offer, and it app caring frcm the testimony
that the wounded man was not out of dan
ger, the Prosecuting Attorney asked tina
the dele.ce should be compelled to give
heavy bond, as in the event of the death o
Harshee, the prisoner may be endited 70
murder.
The Justice required the defendant to en-
ter into bail for his appearance at the mex
term Of the Common Pleas Court, in tn
sum of five thousand dollars, in default o
which he was committed to prison.
The Difference.
The following truthful remarks we cli
