pieces of lead and a bit of steel were
found in this. The largest piece was
right next to the bone and the smaller
pieces scattered around in the esh. The
witness was able to identify a small piece
of metal as one that he removed from the
wound, but he thought there Were more
pieces than were shown him in court.
The bone of the shoulder, he stated,
was not fractured. The weight of the
lead removed from the wound was esti-
mated at about 60 grains His judgment
was that the wound in the arm was caus-
ed by a gun shot He could not tell
whether the fragments taken from the
shoulder were parts of whole bullet or
not. The wound on the head was fatal
and was the immediate cause. lie did
not consider the wound in the throat as
| being necessarily fatal; that in the chest
might have been fatal.
| On cross-examination he stated that he
thought the man might have stood after
receiving the bullets, and that the blow
might have been struck on the head while
he was standing. He thought the blow
might have been delivered by holding the
rifle by the barrel and swinging it.
| During the latter part of the eXami-
n; 'isn of DR.. Cloutier, skeleton was
introduced that he might demonstrate
the course of the bullet. He showed
that it had entered at the sixth rib and
had come out at the third so that it
| must have had some elevation.

called at her house on the day of the

COW in April or May of the year be-
fore and had received $40 down and the
balance in labor later. In June, 1900,
he sold him a pig for $3.50, but did not
receive his pay then as Terrio told him
he had lost his wallet containing some
$50. Shortly after the murder he saw
Terrio pay Octave Clair $47.5O on a
note Clair held against him. Pare when
he saw him carried canvas valise and
d bag and he was sure was wearing a
hat.
