to the experts. DR.. Gregory and Mr.
Halpen entered into some discussion as
to whether or not an abrasion was caus-
ed by conclusion and the doctor said an
abrasion was not. Mr.. Halpen then call
ed attention TO the fact that in the re-
port Of the autopsy the tive bruises were
called abrasions and asked why DR..
Gregory changed his decision to q con-
fusion. DR.. Gregory said il had been an
error characteriZing them both as abra-
sions. He declared that in this respect
his testimony, not the report was cor
rect. An abrasion is bruise in which
the surface CT the skin is roushened and
particles dlslocated; a confusion is a

States Claim
The State will base its claim of
confession upon the evidence of By
ron French, first selectman of SOM
erviile, and Edwin French another
substantial citizen of the town. Mrs
Hisler is alleged to have made the
statement to them about nine DAYS
after the death of her husband, send
ing messenger, her husbands broth
er, after them. The story told them
was that she hit her husband in the
head with a stick Of stove wood and
that he never breathed after.
Peter G. Hisler. Fred Hisler's step
father, says she confessed to him first
and that the story she told him in
dicated that she was jealous of Maud
Dyer q pretty young married woman
of Somerville, and that her act was
caused by Fred Hisler's statement
that he was going up on the noun
tain which she interpreted to mean
he was going to see Maud Dyer
This confession, if proved, will BE-
hard point for the defense to COM
bat But the fact that Mrs. Hisler
was at the time guest al the home
Of her father and mother in la y.
coupled with the claim thatg the con-
fession was suggested % urged by Mr..
Hisler. may effeE- a. saethod forthe
defense to break down the value Of
alleged confession.

Byron and Edwin French and Arthur
Dodge. They found Fred Hisler "
ing on the floor in the kitchen, in
front Of the range. Whether or not
there was still spark Of life is q
mooted point. One Of the neighbors
thought he detected light pulsation
at the wrist
DR.. J. E. Odiorne Of North White
field was called, and found Hisler
dead. An examination disclosed two
bruises near the right temple, and DR..
Odiorne notified Coroner c. E. Crow
ley of Wiscasset He in turn called
in the medical examiner for Lincoln
County, DR.. G. A. Gregory of Booth
bay Harbor. DR.. Odiorne and DR..
Gregory conducted an autopsy on the
body, but failed to find any good and
sufficient cause for death. So the
body was buried and nothing more
was done about it al that time.
Nine days later Mrs. Hisler made
the alleged statement which will be
introduced by the State as a confess
sion. Then she was arrested, and tried

No other race of animals can show
such q history as the black oxen that
draw the funeral cars OF dead Japa-
nese emperors. They are OF a special
breed, ana for centuries have been
kept for the sole nse O. tie imneria,
family. The cream coiored Hanoveriap
horses. reserved for the British royal
family are nearly as famous, but some
of these animals once wore the yoke
OF an alien and an enemy. When Ma
poleon occupied Hanover in 1904 he
seized all the cream-coiored horses
in the royal stables and took them to
Paris. The state, carriage at his coro-
nation was drawn by eight Of these
animals. This Insult. as he regarded
it, made George III SO angry that he
would not use the, others OF the breed
that were stabbed in London. Until
the fall OF Napoleon the state coach
was always drawn by black horses
when the king or his son, the prince
regent, opened parliament.
