No Evidence Pres .nted that the skull
Found Was Hiram's
Concord, n. f., Dec. O. AT the af-
ternoon session OF the Sawtelle case the
reading Of the stenographio minute 5
was resumed. IL included the testi-
mony given by Inspector Cogan, of Bos-
ton, who found blood stains on the
buggy seat; Professor Wood, who x
amined the stains and DR.. Ham, who
examined Hiram's wounds. Several
witnesses were called, who gave evil
dence as to the locality in which they
heard shots on the day Of the murder,
after which the State rested.
Counsel for Sawtelle then introduced
a plan of the locality where the head
was found buried. This closed the evil
dence and recess was taken until to-
day,
Mrs Hiram Sawtelle, who arrived
last night, says her husband did not
have artificial teeth, but that, on the
contrary, his teeth were all right As
DR. Grant in his testimony said when he
examined the skull last Saturday there
was no indication of tee th in the upper
jaw the question has been raised
whether or no. the skull was really
Hiram's. No evidence was presented to
the court identifying the skull as that
Of Hiram Sawtelle.
The opinion is prevalent that Isaac
Sawteile' petition will be denied by the
court.
