Dr d NJ Jones testified: Am physi-
clan. Heard moet Of ihe evidence Of
physicians In this case. A blow on the
skull would "a n rule make break in l.,
aud then fractures would extend out.
Even after death there IL often nerve
force enough left In the body 10 keep up
the movement Of the blood. IL IL poasi-
ble that the fracture Of the skull was
made by the bullet. There being no
evidence TO show that other force did IL.
I should conclude that the bullet did IL.
The fracture Is strange one. can not
conceive that q hammer or other inetrn-
ment would make such . fracture as
this.
DIR w III Davis recalled Ball passing
through. n skull as this, would ahatter
the skull In all directions. The bullet
Ia this case could have shattered the
skull as described. A stroke on the
head with a hammer or other inetru-
ment would be followed by swelling
as black eye, II delivered with force
enough TO shatter skull as here de-
scribed.
NJ Koch testified: Made map in evil
dence. Witness explained various OBJ.
jecte and distances on map.
DIR Wallace testified: Am physi-
clan. Examined tile body OF Henry
Ingram at summons OF sheriff. DIR Mas
ton was along. Described the shot In
the face. Found where the ball struck
n back Of the skull. Skull was broken
o, that IL would open and shut like an
oyster shell. observed Il small cut on
scalp. Cut did not 90 through the scalp.
II was barely possible that ID was made
by the ball. A clean cut would not swell
much, but a blunt blow would swell up.
