TELLS OF AUTOPSY
Surgeon in the Merriwether Case
Says Autopsy On Branch Does Not
Prove Death Was Caused BY Blows
From Fist.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 2S.-The courr
martial in the case of Midshipmar,
Merriwether, charged with nnanslaugh.
ter, resumed its session this morning.
Surgeon E. d. Gatewood was called by
the defense. He gave a minute and
technical description of the condition
which the autopsy revealed in the case
OF Branch. He said there was no frac-
ture of the skull or injury to the ,mem-
brane Of the brain, except that brought
about by the surgical operation. A
large clot was found, however, under
the membrane of the brain. Gate
wood said he believed 1t was more
likely the injuries were received by
Branchs head having come directly In
contact with some hard object, rather
than by the fist blows. In his opin-
ion the primary cause Of death was
hemorrhage. On cross examination
witness said there was nothing shown
at the autopsy which disproved that
the dnjurles had been caused by fist
blows.

Temporary Use
TO SATISFY THE eovERNMENT
During Period Of Financial Dist, ess
Bonds Belonging to Insurance Com
pany Were Takcn From Its Vaults
and Deposited With the Bank to Meet
Secretary Treasury's Demands.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Ed Randolph,
treasurer OF the New York Life. testi-
fed at the Insurance investigation to-
day that during a period Of financial
stress some Massachusetts bonds and
New York city bonds belonging to the
New York Life were deposited with
the United States government for the
First National Bank OF this city. This
was done because the secretary Of the
treasury was demanding high class Sc
curities against government deposits.
The New York Life received for the
transaction 100000 besides interest.
said the witness.
Randolph said he was ordered by
President John A. Mccall to turn over
the $4O.193 check from Kidder. Pea
body & Co., Of Boston, to George w.
Perkins. vice president Of the New
York Life. Randolph said the loan Of
$930,000 to the Boston firm was not
acted upon by the finance committee
Of the New York, because 1t was not
customary to report loans to that cons
mittee. Asked why he did not cash
the check for the New York Life. Ran
dolph said It did not belong on the
records OF the New York Life. The
conpany's share was s per cent inter-
est on the Mexican Central bonds.
Asked about the removal of 100000
worth of New York City stock from
the vaults OF the New York Life for q
few days and the substitution there-
fore Of the check OF the Central Ma
tional Bank for 100000 which was
told yesterday by the cashier of the
bank, Randolph said the statement was
correct in the main. He did remove
the stock, but. at the time he was not
treasurer, but chairman Of the exc
cutive committee. He probably acted
under instructions from Gibbs, then
treasurer, now dead.
''Who got the stock 2" asked Hughes.
Z do not remember Only three men
had access to the vaults" he said.
James G. Keeler, formerly clerk Of
the New York Security and Trust Co.
said that in 1900 or 1901, the trust
company paid Andrew Hamilton SIS
900 and charged to an account with the
Union Savings and Trust Co. of either
Tacoma or Spokane. Keeler said that
he understood this trust company was
now defunct, and that all Of it's assets
were in warrants and debentures and
were owned by the New York Life In
