blood externally it pr cipaly came from the jlgulas;
thee would haze been some from other hesh wounds,

O. Would the flow of blood from the neck have been

woulo be impossible for me TO answer that question,
Sir-mposlbe, it might have been before or after; my
theory as that the frs, inmation that be had was
The wouno on the right shoulder.
