tibrcs OF the pericardium by the lower
wound did not perforatc that organ
Both wounds were pretty firmly plugged
with cotton. According to DIR. Brooks
measurement the thickness of the wall il
the direction of the fatal wound was ter
! lines
Examination continued saw no in
dication of disease about the body. Caus,
of death was the upper wound which
penetrated the heart Both wounds
were parallel: found this by passing two
probes into the wounds. The knit
might have been held at an angle Of from
30 TO 10 degrees Think the wound,
might have been made with the knife
shown. See nothing in the cuts in tho
vest to indicate whether the instrument
had one or two ed"cs. 1t would require
4 strong hand and firm one to make
those wounds with the instrument shown
If the knife was not drawn ont in n iii
rect line, the tendency would he to en-.
LARGE the inriSion.
Gross Ertn,ia0}-1hc wounds referred
to would most likely have left stains Of
blood upon the instrument used. My
impression at the examination of tho
body was that the wounds were mad,
with a sharper and more pointed instru.
mcnt than the one shown also that il
was a two-cdgcd knife 1t would have
required Il very firm hand TO Lave mad,
those wounds with this instrument.
Depth Of fatal wound was from y to :
inches. The weapon just perforated the
inner wall of the heart. The length OF
the wound in the heart was about ! inch.
Tic obliquencss OF the wound would in
crease its length perhaps inch.
Re dHort-lt person were standing
in a STOPPING posture, and lcanin" against
something, towards the left, the i.cart
would perhaps he one-hali inch nearer
the outside than il standing erect
