dying moments.
he said the judge was suffering
greatly, ami declared lac was
dying. after which hc asked for
~timulants or for some relief from
his -uncrings. The Judge had
three wounds, bat the one ia the
Chcs. near the right shoulder WAS
the mortal one. The dying iurist
taIkcd nationally and said 'Sidna
Allen Killed him" lie mentioned
uhis several times. Witness
Thought Judge MaSslc realized lac
was dying.
DIR. NuCkOis also examined sew
cral OF thc other persons shot in

living on tie uOOr with blood
flowing from his head. lie lived
about tWcnty-fOur honrs.

The witness said hc had had
experience with bullet wounds, as
hc had been coroner OF Carroll

made by a ieaden proJectiie.
DIR. Nuckols made no probe OF
any OF the wounds and did not
