| Trying to Fix the Exact Cause Of
| Death-Much Expert Evidence.
Middletown Dec. 20.-The testimony
up to the noon recess to-day in the trial
of Joseph A. Hough was almost entire
/ ly of an expert character DR.. Francis
| Bacon of New Haven testified that in
his opinion the wounds on the head
We're sufficient to cause death, especial
| ly the one on the back of the head,
which he thought caused instant death.
On the cross examination he stated
that death in his opinion resulted from
the clot of blood on the brain. If he
had performed the autopsy, he said, he
would have tried to find just what caus-
ed death and what did not. He did not
care to say positively that the wounds
on the head caused death without
complete examination of the body, but
he would say that they were sufficient
to cause death. He was shown stone
found In the road at the scene of the
murder and said that it was capable
of producing wounds like those in the
head.
Albert J. Francis of Chester testified
to finding stone at the scene of the
He turned over the stone to Sheriff
Brown.
Alden Smith stated that he found a
knife in the pocket of Houghs coat
when searching his clothes after the
murder. This he gave to Sheriff
Brown.
Sheriff Brown testified to sending the
knife and stone to DR.. A. j. Wolff Of
Hartford for examination.
Dr. Wolff said that he found blood
and what he thought was human hair
on the edges of the stone sent to him
by Sheriff Brown. The hair appeared
to have been torn from the head by a
blow and the point of the stone looked
as If it had entered the scalp. On both
blades of the knife and on the back
of the knife he found clean blood.
