An autopsy was held over the body
OF Murphy yesterday morning by DR..
w. A. Deas, the county coroner, and
DR.. Nathan w. Smith, i'll Joseph M.
lIain's undertaking rooms, on West
Broad Street. The ball--a thirty light

one and one-half inches above the tip
of the left ear.
On the right side of the head there
was puffed place about one and one
half inches In diameter, almost oppo
site the hole made by tho bullet on
tho left side. When the physicians
were dissecting the scalp, the bullet
fell out as the skin was removed dis
closing a splintered fracture.
Except for the brain, which the bail
penetrated, the other organs OF the
dead man were perfectly normal Ex
ternally there were no scars or other
evidences of violence.
Further than the statement given out
yesterday. the prisoner. who is not
quartered in a cell. but in the hospital
room of the county Jail, refused to
talk of tie affair. He has not yet OBJ
