I was standing in the center OF Main
street, in Phoebe, in front Of my drug
store; while standing, l first heard a
shot; turned in the direction OF the re-
port, then saw another shot fired, and
think I saw second shot fired. The
first shot saw fired was by Mr.. Glea-
son; he was standing on Main street. in
front Of Lewis clothing store; in rela-
ton 10 Main street, he fired it at an
angle, obliquely, across the street: the
shot was not fired at q right angle with
the street; at the time the shot was fired

which the shot was fired, but did after;

first shot fred. When heard the repor,
of the pistol Immediately looked in the
direction from which the report came
At this time was standing 80 or 100 feel
from defendant. 1 do not think there
were any persons within ten feet OF him

at that time. made an examination O
him and stated that there was hope O
his recovery. His pulse was very rapit
and irregular aud there was profus,
hemorrhage from his lungs; from tn,
locality OF the wound, and his symptom
knew he had received a mortal wound
The wound was to the left Of the spina
column, immediately below the rib; tn
direction OF the wound was inward an,
upward; it was gunshot wound. / onl
probed the wound with my finger. TIL
ball did not pass out of the body. Il
my Judgment from the nature OF th
wound and its locality tho back of tn
deceased must have been turned towart
the party firing the shot which cause,
the wound. At the time the shot wa
fired the body Of deceased was very nue.

ceased a few minutes. saw him agail
that night in my capacity as coroner
He was dead. In my judgment tn
cause of the death of the deceased Jane
Q. King was hemorrhage, the result of
gunshot wound. 1t was the result of th
gunshot wound have described. AT th
time I examined the deceased in Levi
store. There was very free hemorrhag
from the wound at the time, it mus
have been very recently made. In m
Judgement as physician and surgeon
the wound have described upon til
body Of the deceased was sufficient
itself to produce death. In INV iudp,
ment the death of James G. King VS.
not caused by another means than N
wound which have described, The n,
per portion of the body must have bee
at rather an acute angle with the pari
that fired the shot, and the head frol
the party firing.
