ternal examination OF the deceased on saturday,
and more July Oh The next day Sunday. DR.. Hege-
man then described the character OF the wounds as
spoken OF by the previous witnesses. In the course
the wounds had the appearance of
beng done by some sharp-edged instrument; the
effect OF the wounds would but stunn the indi-
vldua, but would not cause his immediate death;
he scarcely thought that the stones thrown into
the well on the mead OF the prisoner would have
produced those sharp confused wounds; he could
not tell the cause OF death without an autopsy;
turning over the body on sunday gill OF water
came QUE of the mouth, and it seemed as though
there was death from strangulaton by drowning;
the stones thrown into the well on the head,
would have crushed the skull; If the face was in
the water he could easily drown there as in
fifty feet of water; all the four wounds had the
appearance Of being done by sharp cut instru-
ments
