DR.. II. p. P. Y eates was then sworn, and testified
as follows: | have made an examination of the

a severe blow over the right eve, which was much
blackened and the eyeball protruding also opened
chest and found the lungs filled with air. it is nv
opinion that the deceased was first knocked sense
less and then thrown into the water; drowning
man would naturally make an effort to breathe. and
IN doing so water would rush into the lungs and
there remain; deceased lungs contain air, and will
now float upon water. The lungs were then shown
to the jury.

testimony In regard to the air being found in the
lungs, and said the deceased had no doubt either
first been killed or knocked senseess, and then
thrown into the water.

portant testimony, concluded to adjourn until this
