 DR. EDWARD P. LYMAN.-I was called to visit Jacobs on the 4th day of October, about 10 o'clock by Sherman Cogswell. found Jacobs lying upon bed in chamber at Chas Cogs- wells, apparently asleep, He aroused easily ou my attempting to examine his head. found hls case indicated concussion, as if by blow on the kead, his pulse about 50, surface of the body cool, weak pulse. nothing unnatural in the appearance of the eyes. At first he offered re- sstance to an examination of the wounds. found two wounds on the lateral and back DOT tion of the right side of the head the anterior of the wounds l 11s inches in length. running ooliquelv upward and backward: tho incision through the scalp obliquely upward the lower lip of tho wound slightly detached from the cranfum wounds did not expose the naked bore; the other wounds ran to about within 2 haI nf boo ,c xl L.olvx ,,f ftl,. head, also oblquely upward and detached as the other; the upper aad back part of this wound was the deepest, extending, at one point to the skull: this wound was 24 inches in length he vomited several times while was there; he requested me to let him alone till he felt better complained of being sick at stomach rose up ana sat on the edge of the bed got up and walked about the room several times he seemed to be conscious more or less, but was not in a fully conscious state. dressed the wounds by tying the halr across from side to side, applied mus tard to the extremities, gave him ether and di- rected cloths to be soaked in arnica and to be applied to the wounds; was there about two hours, and saw him again in the evening about o'clock. found him sweating profusely, pulse about 30, weak and undulating the left side of the body paralytic, surface of the body warm pupil of right eye dilated, slight spasms of the left side; showed nothing like voluntary motion m the left side l directed the continuation of mustard to the feet, cool applications to the mead, tlncture of -, small doses of nor. phlne. l returned again about midnight, and found his appearance very much the same, ex cept pulse weaker.

 TUESDAY MORNING, Nov. 18TH.
 Cross Examination of Dr.. x. ?. Lyman D, Hu5bard.-'l'he skull was not fractured Or de pressed as l could discover. At the time of my first visit I thought he would recover. Al the second visit became alarmed about him There was nothing in the appearance of the wounds of themselves that would lead me to say they caused his death, but the evidences of con cussion of the brain were very decided. judged that the blows were slight in regard to the solidity of the instrument. 1 think he died from extravasation of blood on the brain he lived about "A hours. It appeared to me that the wounds were made by an upward motion oJ the bar. Jacobs was a stout, athletic man, in my opinion.
 
 October, started for Kent, and just beyond Charles Cogswells I met Mr. Barton coming down the road, he said there had been .n af fray on the hill. went over and when ar rived at Isaac Pattersons saw Jacobs lying ol, the floor. sat a few moments and he did not str and drove over there, got out of my wag on and then saw prisoner there. l asked him what was the difficulty, and he said there had been an affray. took off Jacobs hat and saw his wounds, and then said to prisoner, why don't you take care Of this man go for physician as soon as you can; he wanted to know what to do with him 7; said we must take him some where ; just then George c. Hitchcock drove up and Cogswell called to him to come there Hitchcock came, drove into the meadow, as near the building us he could. I spoke to Ja cobs and told him we were going to move him, he objected Cosswell and myself got him into Hitchcock's wagon, and they drove off. I Jeff them at Patterson's house; 14of mile and mole from Charles Cogswell's to Patterson's g rods from there to where Jacobs was. There Was blood on the floor where Jacobs lay.
 Cross E anaincd by Seymour.-From the time left Barton until 1 arrived to where Jacobs was must have been about ten minutes Prisoner appeared excited when spoke to him.
  the 4th of October. went on to New Preston Hill. saw Isaac Brown drive up to the house opposite and soon he beckoned to me. Sher man Cogswell enqured if was going down the hall. said Yes ;" he wanted me to stop I did 50, and drove up to the old building and Brown an,l Cogswell helped Jacobs into my wagon Brown says " it is an awful wound and, Cogs well, you must take care of the man." I said to Cogswell you ought to take care of him fr your own sake whether you care any thing for the man or not" drove into tue mea dow, when they pat him into my wagon. Cogs we'll took his OK team and started for home and went down to Charles Cogswells with Ja cobs and Sherman was there and assisted in getting him into the house. I did not go into the house. Cogswell and myself started fo, the doctor and on the way Prisoner spoke to James Ferris and said q Jim, John has got through bullying around; /; l lave laid him out with crowbar."
 Cross Examined by Seynsour.-Prisonel seemed anxious to do all he could to assist in helping the deceased he appeared as if he had done something unusual for him to do and did not know what to do he told me he had done it and was sorry that he did but It could not be helped.
