The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1879-06-14

The testimony of X. j. Wilson, potter work
ing for Jekyll, who saw the whole affair IN the
bar room, was the most satisfactory. In the ac-
count of the shooting we have used his testimony
substantially rs given Sunday, and ii is no doubt
the truth; he illustrated also on "A juryman just
how O'Connor was shot: the position Of his arm
and hand with the revolver in it; his body when
shot and the details of the struggle. He sworc
he saw no revolver but the one O'Connor held:
that no one touched him except White TIL after
the second shot; and that only two shots were
fired.
DIR. Hathaway, who made The post mortem eX-
mination, after identifying the ball he had re-
moved from OConnor's body said; The shot en-
tered between the | nh and 18th rib; the cloth
ing around the entrance was burned; the ball
entered the lower chest about inches from the
spinal cord on the right side, and passed through
the lower part of the diaphragm, underline liver;
next il hit the right kidney nj the union OF the
upper and middle thirds, Plowng il. way
through; then ii struck the blood vessel, supply
ing the kidney, sev"ring them; then severed the
vein carrying the blood from the lower body To
the heart; passing on IL reached the first gut that
comes oil the stomach, along which channel it
made It's way until it lodged in the stomach. The
general direction was Il little mp and outwards,
the ball striking the lower edge of the nth rib
changed its direction slightly. The immediate
cause of death was hcmurrhagc. lakng this cH
animation in connection with the testimony of
X. j. Wilson, should say il would have been
very natural accidental shot. If the shot came
from another hand, the hand must have been on
the floor or at least behind and below O'ConnOr.
At the inquest Monroe's pistol was produced
Il Sharp i-shooter carrying % ball. OCon-
nors revolver carried a 70! two chambers were
empty; the ball taken from OCOnnor'S body
weighed the same MS ball taken from O'ton-
nor's pistol to the l.lOO of II grain on an apothe-
cary's scale.
