Testimony OF Witnesses.
The bulk of the testimony at the in
quest was to the effect that Ormsby struck
the blow that knocked Golway down.
One witness who saw the blow delivered
was not positive as to who struck il. That
witness was Harry Robinson. Of 1927 Yer
mont Avenue he was of the opinion that
the man who struck Golway wore light
colored suit of clothes, lighter than the
clothes worn b. any others present. The
testimony as TO what led up TO the suik-
ing of the blow varied considerably, as
did that as to the position OF the men en-
gagged i'm the quarrel at the time Golway
fell. The defendant took the stand IN his
own behalf and created a favorable i'm
preston by his straightforward story. he
denied that he struck Golway, and stated
that the first intimation he had that the
man was struck was when he saw him
! lying On the ground. Defendant added that
! he alone Of the party OF five remained With
I Golwsy and miuisjeTed to him.
The first witness examined was Deputy
( Coroner Glazebrook. He testified TO per
forming the autopsy on the body OF Col
way. An examination revealed a discol-
cred eye and q rough wound at the back

large blood cIot. There was no fracture
there. but TWO inches lower he found what
is known as fracture of the base of The
skull Death said the witness, was due
TO cerebral hemoTrhage. DIT. GlaZebrook

not in healthy condition, Both lungs,
