DR.. VIC. Portman, called for state:
Live at Jackson-a duly licensed
physician-graduate of Cleveland
University. Assuming facts as tes-
titled to by DR.. Sullivan to be true,
an OF the opinion that tkere we're
two shots, that death would follow
instantaneous, that muscular motion
could cease instantly,< that blood
would continue to flow for sometime
after death. Have had considerable
experience with a shot gun-there is
always a recoil from a discharge.
(aere witness technical. de-
scription of ''sKock'' to the jury
that it SUSPENDED motion.
IT, Cross-examination: You can't de-
pend on the severi ty of the wound
as to the amount OF shoek-severe
wounds to the brain may produce
very little or no shock. (Witness'
gave his opinion as to parts OF brain
destroyed-same as before given.)
Redirect: My opinion would be
that the gun was held from 6 to II
inches from the head.
Re.cross: Reason think SO is that
if gun was held in immediate con-
tact it would destroy the whole
skull. ..

functions Of the brain, Assuming
the testimony Of DR.. Sullivan to be
true, am Of the opinion that death
was caused by gun shot wound, that
death would ensue Immediately,
muscular motion would cease, and
that blood would flow for some time
afterward. Am unable to say
whether there was one or two shots.

with the DR.. tally explained to tho
jury the meaning OF the technical
names used in speaking Of the brain.
He also explained to the jury about
the motor area. His explanations
were such as jjtiiriy could fully un-
derstand.) My statement as to the
effect of the shot-destruction of
muscular motion, time of death etc.,
are based on the testimony of DR..
Sullivan.

of the brain is the base.
