At the end Of the sleeve, which probably

there was a burn. Below the second but

shirt where the bullet entered the chest.
ON the face, around nostriIs chin, and
neck was dried blood, which appeared to
have come from the chest and you could
see evidences Of blood having dropped on
the legs, but there was no blood on the
hettom Of the feet. There were three
EURshot wounds on the body
The first was a glance wound in the
muscle of the left arm. The direction
was icOm the extreme right to the left
and upward From that alone. I reached
the conclusion that the injuries had been
inflicted by someone else. The second
wound was about four and one-half inch
Cs below the hip bone. It's course was
, outward and upward. The third wound
was One-half inch to the left of the me
dunn line, and something below the collar
bone The ball passed through the left
| lung, severed the vena cereda, and pass
| ing through the right broncus and the
right lung and imbeded itself in the back
| The general course was from left to right
and upward This wound resulted in
death The left arm was partly 1eXed
when I found it and was set in rigOr
mortts. There was a distinct scorch and

under the muscle of the forearm The
wound was such as would have been in
hicted had the arm attempted to ward
off the bullet which entered his chest.
MANY SUPERFICIAL WOUNDS
There were also many superficial
wounds declared Dr. GIazebrook, ''nota-
by a number of bruises on the inner side
of the leg. All of them were inside and
none on the kneeCap or outer side of the
leg. There were no scratches on the
hands and none on the face. except a
slight confused wound Of the forehead.
Death was due continued the Depu-
! ty Coroner. TO the gunshot wound which
! entered the chest and severed the main
artery leading from the heart. The phys
icaI condition Of the deceased was excel
lent and he appeared to be an athlete"
Dr. Grazebrook described the measure

examined the room about I o'clock on
May 10. he said and found two pools of
blood. One was under the place where
the head lay, and another right at the
foot of the window and touching the
wash board. The room was a contracted
one and measured feet ~ inches by IS
/ feet inches.
THE man unquestionably bIed very
freely from the moment of the first shot
said Dr. GIazebrock- On the window sill
he found other blood stains. rather indis-
tinct in character, but which left no
doubt Of their being blood stains The fin
ger prints, which were readily diseerni-
ble, all pointed into the room, he said. He
accounted for blood on the window
sill and the pool by the window in the
following way:
ON receiving the shot in the chest.
Ayers probably grabbed for anything for
support, and first fell upon the window
SILL subsequently falling forward, his
head striking a rockinschair nearby.
There were no injuries on the back. The
wounds in the arm and hip could not have
given forth sufficient blood to stain the
sill and floor as was done.
In my opinion. the man died a few sec
onds aIter receiving the fatal " ound and
that he could only have family called for

DR.. GlazebTook thought the imprint was

stains were also in the grooves in which
the window raised. and showed that the
window was up when the man fell forward

the opinion that they were not blood
