Say That Murphy's Death Was Caused by
shot Inflicted by Doherty.

MOntpelia n, Nov. 4.-Good progress has
again been made to-day in County Court
in putting in testimony by the state in the
Dohcrty murder trial Judge Watson in
siSts on keeping the business moving and
in this he is seconded hy counsel for both
the state and the defence. The nrst
witness called to-day was NJ e. Grandy
of BuClington. who was a follow workman
Of lohcrty and Murphy He saw Doher-
~ talking with Sullivan at the dam on
the night of and after the tragedy. Do
hcrty told him he was going to blow his
brains out as he was in bad fix and Sui
Ivan told him not to do it,
J. T.. PiXley of Waterbury testified to
being an eye witness Of the shooting in
his yard ana his testimony was largely
corrcborativc Of that given by his wife
and others who witnessed the tragedy AS
Murphy went towaCd the barn that night
to join Doherty, wtnes warned him not
to 60 or he would get hurt. just then Do
hcrty advanced and Murphy ducked his
head and swung the right. AS he cid so
DOhcrty lowered his hand and fired. Do
herty was so close to Murphy that the
flash of his revolver touched Murphy's
clothes. After Murphy was shot he
walked to the Ncranda. Witness said to
Dohcrty For Gods sake. what made you
shoot Fred" and Dohcrty replied II was
so mad / couldn't help it Witness saw
the bullet wound in Murphys side and in
hCdY after the tragedy. He weighed iS5
pounds before he was shot and grew very
thin before leaving witness house for the
hospital Julia Rock and Murphy's two
brothers cared for him. For about ten
days prior to the shooting Doherty and
Murphy did not speak to each other as
they ate their meals.
Or. J. p. Wheeler of Burlington, tcSt-
fed regarding the autopsy on Murphy's
body which was performed at the hospital
April /, the day he died. He described this
operation at longth, and said in his opiD-
ion. Murphys death was caused by septic
poisoning brought on by the bullet wound
inflicted February is, and that no other
cause of death was evident.
Or. Henry Jaues of Waterbury, consult
ing surgeon at Mary Fletcher Hospital,
testified as to visiting Murphy the night
he was shot. He described the wound and
treatment at length. He took the bullet
from Murphy's right side. He also test-
fled as to his treatment of the patient un-
til he WAS taken to Mary Fletcher Hos
pital and read his notes taken at the post
mcrtem examination. In his opinion the
bullet wound inflicted Feb. Is, was the
cause of Murphy's death. DIR. James testi-
fled that he had treated between 40 900 and
90 0N men with gunshot wounds. Most of
these were during the civil war.

at that time and that the reatmcnt then
given was proper. In his opinion, careful,
conservative physicians would not have
been justified in taking the course suggest
ed by Mr.. Plumley.
DIR. Henry James of Waterbury was re-
called. lie testified that with such a
wound of the spleen as he had previously
testified that Murphy had received, re-
covery was rare. During the civil war
only three rcCoveries from gunshot
wounds in the stomach are recorded No
body but a reckless fool would have gone
into Murphy's abdomen to sew up his
stomach At Gettysburg, Dr. james stated
he had over 10000 gunshot wounds under
his supervision.

Fletcher hospital testified that he acted

ply was brought to the hospital March /;
and that he died there April /, and that
an autopsy was performed on his body
The State rested about noon and the

case will be disposed of so that the mem
bcrs of the jury can spend Thanksgiving
