his circumstances were perfectly easy.
Augustus f. Holly, being duly sworn, deposes and
says-I brother TO the deceased; heard my other
brother testin Onv and l entirely corfODoraIe What
Lo has given IN evidence.
ID. S. Waterman, NJ. D., being duly sworn, says
have made 6Iaulna:ion OF the body to ascertain
the direction Of the bali; It entered the right eye IN
an ard ard backward direction; the point of the
ball fell agsl st the upper portion OF the cranium but
without penetrating or fracturBg it, il il my opinion
tiat the shooting was the work of accident, for
firing pistol for the purpose OF committing sucide
tire ri. toll would naturally be beld close to the face
ard most probably the powder marks which are sb-
sent IN this case. would have been Visible.
This closed Tho evidence and the case was given to
the JuIy who after brief dsliberstion, rendered
verdict that the deceased to his death by being
accidentally shot in the eye by pistol in his own
hands. The deceased was employed in The office Of
his father, a land broker, doing business at No. )
Naseau street.
There was not fact offered in evidence TO Justify
the presumption Of McGrath, who keeps the gallery
in question, that young Holly committed suicide by
designedy shooting himself. The diseased had NO
pecpnisry embarrassment or other trouble which
would tend to drive him 10 take his own life.
