Only two witnesses were examined

Lawrence Glover, cabin boy, who was
handcuffed snd confined in the same
room with Anderson. The latter testi-
fed directly TO the fact that Donaldson
shot Andersen, putting pistol to his ear

was fired while he vas in the room, |
but did not see it, as he was draw
ing whisky FROM a barrel and his back |
was turned. This Coroner made the fol |

his back with pair of handouts; I had |
a post morton examination, and found |

the ear, large enough to admit my index |
finger; the hair around the hole wss |
and the edges of the wound were |
black with powder; the bullet passed |
through the brain to the other temple ; /
l found the bullet near the temporal |
bone on the right side; it fractured the |
bone but did not pertOrste the skin |
