He testified that he assisted at an

doubt that death was the result of
the Inflammation and that that
was the result of the injury. That
he also found on one bip an abra-
sion which seemed to have been

ment which produced the injuries
from which she died. That If he

carriage he would give opiates and
enjoin quiet upon the patient.
