brain, in it's position. We then re-
moved the entire brain-to find
whore the injury was. We neat ex-
amined the body and found no blood
spots ON limbs or trunk but found
some on the arms and in the palm
Of the hand. On one hand was
powder smoke marks: That was all
that was done at that time. Next
l commenced to put skull in shape,
So we could locate the extent of the
injury. After removing brain from
skull, we examined the brain itself.
We found the entire frontal lobes OF
the right side destroyed and part of
! the loft frontal. A part of the skull
was destroyed. The membrane
which covers the cerebellum was in
! tact-except for small rent at en-
, trance OF charge. Other organs OF
the base of the brain were unin-
jured. ~tThis was decidedly differ
ent than inferred by the states wit
nesses. &, Witness here took skull
and told how the charge Effected the
skull OF Krause. He swore positive
; ly that only one shot had heen fired
into the head. The shot had hit a
hard bone at the point Of entrance
andsp!it, His statement that the
vital organs at the base of the Drain
we're uninjured was an important
point for the defense. Here Dr..
Walker took brain and explained
to the jury the parts injured. J The
wound through 4 the skull at the
point 81 entrance was circular and
was about three fourths Of an inch
in diameter. The scalp wound ap-
pearedto be longer than wide
however the wouad itself was cir
oular. 8 The reason the wound look
ed bigger was that the scalp above
the wound was split upward and for
ward for an inch and a half. Found
the flesh at the point of injury filed
with powder. Here another lengthy
description of the parts Of Krause's
brain destroyed and injured was
ssiyen the jury. Witness produced
itha,skull Of Krause and showed the
: jury Just where and how injury
had been received. The Dr. swore
positively that the vital portions of
the brain were uninjured.) (Krause
skull put in evidence:)
Cross ss-examination: Exhumed the
body Feb. II. The body had not
decomposed when saw it. When re-
moved the brain it was very soft.
Witness took Krause's skull and de-
iscribed fractures. The charge crack
ed the skull in several places.) The
effect of a force sufficient to cause
such A fracture would cause the
brain severe injury. Don't think
it would destroy all brain tiss ue.
Think the power of voluntary mo-
ton was destroyed by the charge.
IA long explanation given to the
jury.)
(Some of the jurors asked ques-
tions of the witness. It was evident
that they wanted to fully under
stand the situation.)
Tomke Krause, the defendant, call
ed: Have lived at Adrian for five
years-prior to thar time at Musca-
tine Iowa-liued there IS years.
| Aug. Krause was my husband, mar
ried in 1898. Had been married be-
fore in 1869. Remember of my hus-
band getting injured in the handcar
wreck. He was injured in the head.
He was brought home unconscious,
and for five or six days he did not
know anyone-hardly me. He CON-
planned of awful pain. Before he
was hurt he worked right along
sfterward ne could only work SIT
ting down or on his knees. He cuff
cred great deal. He couldn t stand
cold or heat either. In hot weather
1 used to wet cloths and put on his
head. He said it felt as though a
knife was sticking him in the head.
In March, 1908, he went to Daven-
port and had an operation perform
ed on his head. After he came back
for two or three months he seemed
to be better aud could walk with
out cane, but after that he began
to get dizzy and had to use cane
