DR.. Joyce Testifies.
DR.. Joyce. testified as to Beers condl-
ton when he reached the hospital. He
said that he was conscious at the time.
He described in detail the injuries on
Beers face. head and body. He said
that he began to lose Consciousness aoOut
fifteen minutes after he first saw him,
and did not regain consciousness until he
died on Friday, Sept. 20, about $50 in ths
afternoon. He told of performing the OF
Grafton and taking about a tea cup of
clotted blood from his brain. He gave it
as his opinion that there was a fracture at
the base of the skull He explained the
symptoms supporting his opinion and said
that the indications were that there had
been a hemorrhage on the inside of the
brain which in turn indicated a fracture.
He stated that the cause of death was
hemOrrhage of the brain caused by a frac-
ture of the skull. He observed no in
jury from the outside that would have
caused a fracture to the skull, and stated
that the injuries were like one would get
in a beating up. The witness stated that
there was no doubt that the fracture was
due TO blow or an INJURY or some kind.
In his opinion the blow over the ear was
probably the one that fractured the skull.
He could not offer an opinion as TO what
was used to cause the injury and said
there were bones broken.
On cross-eXamination he said that the
injury causing the fracture might have
been inflicted by his falling on a sharp
piece of lumber with the weight of an
other man on top of him and also that a
blow the point of the chin could have
caused it. He further stated that blow
on top or back of the head could have
caused the fracture, but such an injury
was very unusual.
DR.. E. H. Smith. who assisted DR.. Joyce
with the operation, gave testimony re-
garding the injuries OF DR. Beers as he
saw them. He cOrroborated the testimony
of the former witness and gave out moth
ing of Importance excepting that opera
lions such as the one performed on DR..
Beers were common.
DR.. A. S. Condor was called and testi-
fled that he did not know DR.. Beers, but
saw his body at the morgue. He was
allowed to describe the wounds he found
on the body. On cross-eXamination coun-
sci for the defense had the witness repeat
that he did not know DR.. Beers, and then
asked the question How do you account
for filing a complaint in this court
against DIR. Beers for unprofessional cos
duct?" Counsel for the state objected to
the question and the court sustained it,
stating that the question was an impro-
per one. whereupon counsel for defense
excepted to both the ruling and the Ian
guage of the court.
