I DR. Gao TurTLE.-llesiie at
Factory Point. Manchester, practice
medicine have Tor some over thirty
years. Was al tie examination Of The
boly Of Thoma. Barry one day last
winter, NJ the house Of Owen Brady,
back OF the brick store. Dr>. Ames
and Edison were present Found three
wounds upon the body small wound
upon the back didn't take nuch no.
I tice Of it and could not describe Il ac.
curaiely. This appeared 10 be a pune
tered wound, not three-Qaarters Of an
inch long, appeared 10 be oblique-
could not say which way. Found up
on the thigh wound which was round
and little over an inch long--on The
right side, below the point OF the thigh
bone. This first cut seemed 10 be cut
through the music dawn to the bone,
and the muscle had retracted, settled
apart. The other cut was at an angle
from the other and appeared 10 me 10
be about lhree-iourths Of an inch long,
not deep wound, through the skin
and the outer flesh. Witness mark
ed the whole wound upon paper
I Didn't see how il could have been
made with two thrusts seemed TO
me that the knife was turned and
drawn out. The lines Of the wound
we're very nearly straight. Thought
at the time and think now that it was
done with a two-edged instrument
Could not see how il could be done
with a single-edged instrument unless
il was Withdrawn or turned round
The two ends OF this wound seem to
run to point--very acute and an
gular My impression is that when
he withdrew the knife he turned it
round. Think il must have been u
two-aged instrument even il turned 10
make that narrow short cut. This
corresponding cut in the vest seems TO
me to have been made with two
edged instrument; think a single edg-
cd instrument would have made a
straight cut. This wound in the back
appeared TO have been made with an
oblique cut upward and Backward
Think this both from the cut in the
vest and The wound on the body-the
wound in the body appeared evident
ly to have passed in obliquely. Found
one wound upon the left arm, oblique-
+ ly across from the inner side Of The
arm towards the thumb. 1t was some
j or 6 inches long longer than the
cut in the sleeve did not measure it.
/ Probably cut off the artery, dad not
examine TO find it--they usually draw
back--cut where il must have severed
ii. Wound was mortal one as it
was-but not necessarily so. After
having that artery severed man
might have lived Is minutes. Must
have died from loss of blood. All the
hexal muscles Of the arm were sever
/ ed.
Cross Examination. IL didn't see
DR.. Ames make measurements. Each
one examined for himself. | did not
see anyone probe the wounds. The
upper portion of the wound in the
thigh was the de epest. Have no means
Of telling where the instrument first
entered. / think the bone was reach
ed at the center Of the upper line
Have no means Of telling the width Of
the knife that made the wound. Such
a wound might have been done with
a knife like this Showing single edg-
ed knife.) This turning in the wound
might have been made with such a
knife by the turning Of the body in the
scufile. ] thought the wound upon
the arm might have been made with
eithera one or atwo.edged instrument.
The wound upon the arm appe lred to
me al be time as though il might have
been made with a common jack-kniie.
The angles at the termini OF the wound
upon the arm were not so acute AS
those in the one upon the thigh. Don't
know that ! noticed any other differ
ence in particular than that caused by
the gaping Of the wound The
muscles will contract and grow stiff
