A H. Estin said he was Sheriff OF Sacramento

flee, in the month Of February, 1882 loaded gun
which was put in the vault, and had been in the

DIR. MATTHEW GARDNER
Said he was physician of thirteen years practice
and resident of this city. He had the body OF
Mrs. Tfoai exhumed about the Sth Of June, at
Stockton. The body was in an advanced state Of
decomposition especially the right arm, shoulder
and neck. Removed the arm at the shoulder found
wound in the right aurice of the heart which was
quite small and round, several shot in the arm and
few in the chest mmeda ely back of the aOrta. The
doctor produced two small paper boxes containing
the shot he had extracted from the body of the
murdered woman and the same re shown to the
Court and jury. He also gave the actual weight OF
the shot and compared them with that Of unused
shot. Can't say what were the size or
that they were mixed, as they may have
lost some in weight by oxidation. The
declination of the shot as traced through
the body was downward from the shoulder towards
the heart If the openings he found in the aorta
were produced by the shot death would have been
instantaneous. A party receiving such wound
could not, in his opinion, have said Not much :"
and, " John, why did you shoot me !" He thought
it would have been impossible for person receiving
such wound TO overcome an elevation like a door
step. There might have been shot in the lower arm,
but it was shriveled so much they could not be
found.
Cross examination not positive about the
declinaton of the shot, but of the opinion that
it slanted downward. Found numerous holesin the
aorta, ani thought they had been made by shot,
from the fact that several shot were found imme-
diately back Of the aorta.
The doctor was subjected to a long and tedious
cross examination.
Drs. Hatch, Cluness and Simmons, who heard Dr.
Gardners description Of the wound, agreed with the
testimony Of the latter. They thought it altogether
improbable that the woman walked or talked after
receiving such wound
At5:l5 P. N the Court adjourned to ga. NJ. to-day.
1t is thought that the trial will be concluded on
Saturday.
MAN DROWNED On the steamer Modoc, which
left here on Tuesday for San Francisco, was man
named Camille Feuillot, who had been employed at
the French restaurant on street, and who was
crazy drunk when he took passage. He got into
trouble with Pierre Edmond on the boat and Gre
atsd other disturbance upon the boat When about
eight miles below Sacramento Feullot went into his
state. room and took bag or blanket with him,
and going to the after part OF the boat threw it
overheard aud then jumped into the river himself
The steamer was stopped as soon as possible after
the jumping overheard was made known to Captain
Fouratt, and boat put out to rescue him, but be-
fore getting back to the point where he jumped in
Feuot disappeared. The Captain says there
something mysterious about the bag or parcel which
was thrown over by Feuilot before he jumped in, as
it was so heavy that it sank after striking the
water. After the man was drowned Edmond com
planned against the Captain severely for not succeed
ing in saving Feuillot, who, It appears, was COM
panion OF his, but the Cartain says lie did all in his
power TO save the man from drowning. Edmond
carried on his war to such an extent against the
Captain that the latter finally put him in safe
keeping until he reached the Bay. Edmond makes
bitter complaint about this and claims he was
kept the boat three hours after arriving there at
4 A. NJ, but the Captain states that the he
placed on guard in the state room vas removed at
