ryins In of the body from the yard and md tue the

examination OF the clothing saw nothing that
In my opinion could not be accounted for by
the handling of bloody object or dead body,
where there was blood; In using the cloth for
bathing the head there would be more or less
sprinBles and smears unless great precaution
was taken; the blood corpusoles might be held
in small quantities In the water and in that
way might get upon the clothing; alter drying
they would leave minute spots sprinkles;
the prisoners coat was handed to the wit,

what appears TO be an accumulation or clot of
blood upon the right lapel, near the bottom of

there were small quantities of blood upon the

bringing the coat rapidly together TO close 1t
might receive blood upon his shirt. and even on
his collar; this idea was con firIned by spots on
the shirt,whieh supposed to Be spots of bloody
water; l also saw poker In the Grand Jury
driven into Mis-. Hlll's brain, certainly some
OF the brain would have remained upon IL; but
could hnd no particle of brain upon IL; every
instrument that is not perfectly smooth, when
plunged into the braiu would retain small par

nothing about this poker to indicate that 1t

hours had elapsed since the blood had got upon
the coat, IL may no. have been absorbed in the

quantity; death by lightning, blows upon the

arrests coagulation, sometimes altogether; IL IL
more than probable that all the blood exposed
to the open air would have coagulated within
an hour; my opinion is that 1t was not neces-
