field. / asked, sis IL your opinion that
Eng died from the shook or fright, occa-
stoned By his brother's death?" .l 81!
T. Mr.. Armfeld-No, sir, it is not. 7
am as we'll satisfied that blood Aowed
from one to the other through that con-
neoting ligament rs that the same blood
flows in my right and left arm.
Correspoudent-Then you think i.
was the death Of Chang that precipitutod
the death of Eng?
Mr.. Armfield- sir. After Chang's
death the blood from EGGS body flowed
into his, but there being no responsive
vitality it could not how back, so that
Eng died from exhaustion and loss of
blood, and not from my shock or fright.
Up to tbs time of Eng's death the liga.
ment, which is some eight inches in
length. was warm as far as whero it
entered Chang's body. which was cold
ut the time. The very nature OF the
ligament, which is four inches wide and
as thick as my wrist. passing from the
abdomen of one to the other, and in the
centre of which is the one nnvel of the
twins, 10 proof positive that the snmo
blood that flowed in the veins of one
flowed also in those of the other.
Correspondent-Why. then, does the
doctor persist in saying that it was from
shook or fright that Eug died?
Mr.. Armfield-I don't know; but 1
heard DR.. Bill Hollingaworth say that
he would rather have the bodies of the
dead twins than the whole of Surrey
County.
Correspondent-What appearance did
the twins present after their death?
Mi. Armfield-Chsng was nearly black
in the face and looked as if lie had died
III fit or in great agony. Eng looked
US ii he had been asleep.
Correspondence you know whe-
ther Eng made any expression Of pain
before he died?
Mr.. Armfield-Yes, I inquired par.
| ticnlarly about that, aud found that he
called repeatedly to those around to rub
and pull his arms and legs, that he was
cramped-a sure indication of loss of
blood, or that the circulation was i'm.
! peded from some cause, aud this con-
firms me il. the opinion that thu death
of Chang superindnced that of Eng.

grandfather to the agent OF medical

conduct was very reprehensive; for, as
