from MT. Aliens place and the first landing
 on the wharf; there was nothing to hinder
 the body from floating to where it was found
 at the time of tide; the wind was south
 southwest; I waded out to where the body
 was and the water was about up to my knees.
 On the cross examination witness said he
 did not think the clothing would have been
 so wadded up if the body had been laid on
 the sand bar beyond where it was found; he
 said the face touched the ground when he
 got to it.
 s. Arthur Marsden was next called and
 testified as follows I am familiar to a cer-
 tain extent with the West Haven beach and Kelsey's wharf; I threw some sticks ovar from the pier some time ago, and marked
 them so that I could designate them when
 they came ashore; threw one over at Aliens,
 the other about half way down the pier, and the other at the end of the wharf the tide had been coming inabout an hour or an hour and half; the stick thrown from Aliens touched the bar, and after awhile hoated 1n near Howes'; the one from the middle land ing came in little to the eastward of the stake the one thrown from the end landing came out very near the Baldwin and Osborne cottages; there was quite little breeze blowing at the time.
 Patrick Burns was called and sworn. He testified as follows-I remember the Saturday morning of the finding of the body; was on the spot where the body was found it- tie after o'clock; Asa Curtiss might have been there before me; was on the shore when Curtiss reported to me that he had found the body; I did not see the dead body when I first went to the shore; I did not know that Asa had found the body until he told me down at Howes'; saw the body 1n l three or four minutes after on the shore; l did not see 1t taken out of the water. The cross-examination did not bring out any new facts.
