sBlankenship's body has been exhumed
and surgical operation made of the
skull to find the bullet which is sup
posed to have killed him on the day of
the riot at Ashville. DR.. w. f. Yand-
degrift opened the skull where the ball
had buried itself. It was found to be
buckshot, and not a ball from a A,
caliber pistol, as some of the witnesses
thought.
This corroborates the testimony of DR..
j. B. Bass at the preliminary trial, who
examined the wound and probed for the
ball on the day of the shooting, when
he stated that it seemed TO be a buck
shot He then gave it as his opinion
that the wound could not have been in
ficted by ball such as was contended
for by the prosecution.
