which escaped after death; We decided thern
was no abortion the blows Or the body would
not alone cause death tho most severe wound
waa on the genital organs; the black spots On
the intestines srose from external Injuries; the
wound On the forehead muat have bied much;
there were other smal wounds on the scalp
where the blood ooz.d; the wound on the fore
head half M inch in length. penetrating 70 the
skull; no broken skin Oh tha body elsewhere
than on the head /; think no large vessel was d.
Elded On the forehesd; it could not hare been
produced With this (she wAsa-board shown);
the bruises elsewhere Ne thou9hs might have
been given with that; can't say how much the
woanos on the head pled; think the blows OF
the head would have been more likely to cause
death in an Intoxicated thad in sober person
in pe1san dying of into1icaton the brain would
beefIused wita serum and blood vessels enlarged;
have examined the brain Of pefzous who had
died Q! iutemperauce in this case We found se-
rum and enlarged blood-vessels in the brain
cannot esy that any one Of the blows on the head
could produce death; they could not all Of them
hare been given with the hand; the incise wound
could not have been; could cot say how many
blows there were; the soft parts were broken
down, aud the bruises ran one INTO another,
leaving no lines Of demarcasion think she may
have been dead from i've or six 10 ten or twelve
hours, not more than the latter; saw her On tbs
bed bsfose ahe WAS moved; it she died in the
bed she had been placed there short time be-
fore she died: her position was natural and her
clothes well arranged; there WIS no etusion OF
blood on the pillow: she msy hare died sooa
after the blows; maf not haTe lired over an
hour or txo; made DO critical examination Of
ANYTHING else than the body and its immediate
Surroundings; blood commences to co4Rulste
au1os: immediately; tha appearance OF the blood
gave 20 criterion ~ to time which had elspsed
liter death.
10 If. Uartn-Tte external Injuries Of the
head would account for the appearance Of the
brain these continuous bruises Oh tie head
would produce insensibility almost Immediate
ly; she could not hare been thus iDj ured in the
street, and then have come up stzirs and placed
woman was placed in bed after death the
wounds on the head must hare bled there ~ere
no marks Of bleeding in the bed from 1hosa
wounds; the scalp wounds and bruises mpst
| have caused Inconsistencies tho clothing
about the person WIS regularly arrave ed through
out; the quilt covered the body; don't remem'

| straight with the body.
10 .Mr. -Iattocks After these blows were
given it is impossible to say positively HOW long
| she would live she would most likely have
died within three or four hours; dou's think
| she lived over one or two.
| Ur. EpAraim InqaI+-Was called to examine
the body Of deceased. Position and clothing
the same IS described The only inc!sed wound
WAS Oh the temple; the bEuise o. the head WAS
| continuous aud amounted to one brulse, and

| not SAY how many aided 1t the pos. noEtem
as We cut through the scalp We found great
| deal Of extravasated blood which towed out
the yeutricics Of the brain we're Tiled With 8
bloody semen; the orgaus Of the chest were
healthy; in abdomen found udS4 bloody semen;
organs healthy, also Uterine organs. The de
Bcription Of appearances at the post noE.em did

upon the head the wounds on the body would
certainly contribute to the cause Of death; those
Oh she head we're alone sufficient; think she had
been dead from six to ten hours; it WIS my
opinion she died in bed, at least she must have
been placed there before riglditv took place, 3,
there wAs a Eaturaluess 10 her position she
could not otherwise have assumed.
