 Identification of the maps was following by the examination of Doctors w. F. Chenoweth and H. w. Purdy, who made an autopsy upon the remains of the murdered man, their testimony establishing his death and the causes which et- fected the same. His throat was cut, and his face and head crushed.

The preliminaries described having been accomplished the line of testimony calculated to connect the defend ant with the crime of which he was accused was then entered upon. MT. J. E. Wise of Calabasas was the first witness examined in that line. Mr. Wise testified that on the morning of the tenth of June he was visited by two men who had been working for Egan, baling hay, and they expressed alarm at the non-appearance of Egan, who had been in evidence always at an hour much earlier. Getting Ralph McCorkle the two had gone tc Egan's house together. They had raised window and entered. They found Egan lying dead on the floor of his bedroom, his throat cut and
 his face and head crushed in. The
