cspse of his death given out by Brunk
and others AZ the boarding house was

bv abundant expert testimony, which was
erst introduced. Neither of the DhySi-
cans examined hesitated to say that the
POUNDS were inflicted with some blunt
in,trument and that they were sufficiently

thew were not received By falling off of
the bed.
DR.. Alfred Bessard was the first wit
ness examined. He said he was called
10 see the deceased between 7 and pm.
IN February 26. Found him at Drunk $
boarding house, 1862 Elm street. Found
him in bed in unconscious condition,

and over the right eye was q brui Sc.
4 man asleep or otherwise, fal ling out
Of bed could not, in my opinion, have
received the wounds from a fall out of
bed to the floor. They were sufficient
TO cause death. I found no evidence of
poison, Ratchet or other instrument with
which he could have committed suicide.
The wounds appear to have been made
BY d blunt instrument. Drs. Rufus
Whitis and Lengel testified substan-
Tally the same as DR.. Bessard.
Mr.. .. F. Alderman stated that Engli
was q sober, industrious man. and that
be recently received q package from
Italy which l understood 10 contain
money, as he had previously asked me to
write and get his money for him. He
told me he had money. l saw Engli,
aud an interpreter asked him whether
they had treated him badly, and he
nodded and said eyes, - but
he could not talk because Of his wounds.
He tried 10 write with his bloody finger
on the wall, but was too faint, and fell
back upon his pillow speechless. Mr..
Drunk asked ne just before Engli was
whether 1 had received Eugli's
money from TALLY. a friend Of Engli's
told me to-day that Engli had money
and was about TO go to San Antonio just
before he was hurt. BE couldn't have re-
ceived the wounds from fall to the floor.
4 woman whom Mr.. EnglI had called 10
wait on him, declared that he could not
have received the hurts from fall TO the
floor. Her name was Huck and she is

Eugi made statements to her as to the |
