FlTZSIMMONS' FEARFUL FIST.
THE KNOCK OUT blow UNDER AN.
ALYSIs ON HIS TRIAL.

Police Surgeon Totmnn AIIudes to re
A One of Concentrated Violence
Delivered ExtcrnaIiy-A CoRtinu-
Gus Chain of Separate blood CIots
Around the Entire Base of the
Dead BOXERS skull.
Syracuse. N. Y. june "a sensation at
this mornings session ia the trial OF Rob-
crt Fitzsimmons for the death of Con
Riordan was an assertion on the witness
stand that the direct cause OF death was
from a blow Of concentrated violence de-
livered externally. This was stated by
DIR. Tolman. police surgeon Of this city
who was called to attend Riordan
DR.. Totman also performed the autopsy.
Fitzsimmons told the doctor on the night
Of the fatal blow that he felnted with one
hand and hit Riordan in the Jaw and neck
with the other DR.. Totman said that hs
found Rlordan's body In good physical con-
dition. one clot of blood had been found in
tho brain which weighed 1-3 ounces. The
clot showed conslusively that there had
been rupture. Also around the entire base
of the skull was a continuous chain Of sep
arate blood clots. The condition OF the
brain indicated three distinct ruptures oe
blood vessels. There was no previous dis
eased condition of Riordan's brain. There
was also a laceration or fracture Of por-
tion OF the brain, made up OF longitudinal
nerve hbers. The cause of death was blood
clots upon the brain and rupture OF the tiB-
sues. In the experts opinion the blow upon
the jaw caused the blood clots and rup-
ture
There was a sharp fight over hypothetical
questions the rulings IN the Buchanan
case being followed closely.
The cross examination Of DR. Totman
was not reached to-day because OF the
half holiday law and a new branch Of
evidence raised by a hypothetical ques-
tion. The prosecution asked whether it
was a light or heavy blow that must have
been given TO cause all the havoc in
Riordans BRAIN objection was taken to
the question. Judge Ross ruled that in
form 10 was wrong, but intimated that he
would allow Il when the form was cor
rected. The district attorney wanted ac-
cess TO the minutes of the stenographer In
order to change It. The defense would
not 60 on with the cross examination
until the question HAD been answered.
They say that II viii open up an avalanche
Of technlcalities as to the angle OF the
blow, its force, the rapldity at which
Riordan was advancing and so on. An ad-
Journment was taken until Monday.

cultural frolic has yielded me manv q

Of amusement to my friends. Other
farmers have come for miles and miles
to sit on my fence and watch me as
sought to tickle and amuse the earth
with a nine pound hoe that it might
laugh again with rich crops of red nose
briers and Devonshire bull thistles.
Hurrah for the farmers life!

Who will join me in glass of nice

Who will stroll with me up the noun

Most everybody likes the farmers
life, and if he don't keep his eye peeled
they will take it too.
But honestly feel that the American
farmer has a somber future ahead He
must ka the neighbor and competitor Of
the dull Drained rustic from the sites
and hordes and the east. He is no lon
ger like the thrifty colonist, whose prod
ucts were in good demand, but except
in the most favored portions of the

this. Have some other business connect

will take the mind away from the drudg-
