SURGEONS TELL
Of BRANCH
AUTOPSY
No Fracture Of Skull or Rupture
Of Brain Membrane
Disclosed.

Annapolis, Nov 28.-In the court
martial of Midshipman Meriwether,
charged with manslaughter in causing
the death of Midshipman Branch, sur
geons testified to-day as to results OF
the autopsy on Branch's body last
Sunday They declared there was no
fracture Of skull nor rupture of the
brain membrane, except that made
by the surgical operation. A large
clOt of blood was found under the
brain membrane.
Surgeon GatewOod believed the In
juries were received by Branch's head
coming in contact with a hard object
rather than by a first blow He be-
IeVed the primary cause Of death was
hemmorhage. which increased the
fluid outside of the brain and in
creased the pressure on the brain,
causing death. On cross examination
he said nothing was revealed by the
autopsy which disprOved that the in
juries had been caused by a blow Of
the fist.
