u Dr.. Dyer said he had been called to attend Mr..
Cullen on the 18th OF April at Gillen's store,
finding him sitting In chair and suffering Sc

It'll lasted several hours. Visited him on that
day and every day thereafter till his death, ex.

ming his leg, and had just got out when he re-
ceived thslast injury. Being so feeble, he was
not able to stand the shock Of this fall as strong

tails: They found the membranes covering the
lungs and ribs adhered over the surface of one
lung-an old adhesion. The right lung was
hardened throughout nearly its whole extent
In the upper lobe it had softened, causing expec-
toration. The lower lobe OF the left lung was
acutey infamed, recent inflammation, appear.
ing since Cullen's injury, and was caused by
sympathy with the older trouble in tho right
lung The other vital organs were in normal
condition. At the hip was an extra capsular
fracture, the larger and smaller trochanters being
broken Off Death not uncommonly results from
fractures Of this kind. Cullen was never able
to be out Of bed after he received this injury.
The direct cause Of death he thought largely due
to the condition OF the right lung and that prob
bly, the chronic condition OF that lung was az.
gravated by those chills and that with the surgl-
cal fever and shock with it were the cause Of
death. He thought death had followed as the re.
suit Of the injury.
Drs. Macarthur and Ryburn conceded with the
views Of DR.. Dyer.
Mr.. Kinnevan was present in person and was
represented by his attorneys, Fowler & Gentle
