hours after death-generally appear up-

leased from and near pressure. Cap

slight discoloration on either side OF

fluid blood within ENTHUSIASTICALLY
upon opposite side from ecchymosis.
Think it was there when we began the
operation. 1t was not external to outer

Not difficult 10 distinguish between in

Wound was to skull--think hair pin
could not have produced the wound or

wounds that in appearance 40 not lndi-

by manual strangulation would expect
3j hours alter death to find face livid,
suffused, swollen, eyes protruding, cor
nea prominent, lids open, eyes staring
, and CLASSY, lips swollen; and there
should be marks indicating external
violence. Surprising death caused by

find marks II to 20 hours after death.
In death by strangulation tongue is not
necessarily protruded. Found blood in
lupgs-dark, concrete, not fluid. Found
