| Vt. WCIc you pi SiSN ht SAAS NhsSA noon when an examination was made of Tom Huddleston's body? A. was; yes, sir.
 0. I wish you would describe to the jury exactly the conditions you found there as to the wound or frac- ture of the skull or powder burns?
 A. have in my pocket notes that care for them, l will read these notes to you. l think that would be the most concise way of putting it. (Read- ing from notes): "This bullet emerges at occiputal-parietal junction that is about two inches one way from the top of the ceter of the skull and off to one side, you understand. about where my finger Is, right here (indicating): (reading:) about two inches to left of median lines"; the median line is the line through the center of the skull: two inches to the left of that. (Reading0 Bullet emerges at occiputal-parietal june tion. fracture extending downward and into the foramen magnum,' which lies practically at the base Of the skull and is the beginning Of the spinal cord. Fracture went to left one and a quarter inches and down. ward one and one-half inches" All those fractures began from the wound where the supposed bullet emerged from the skull. Next, above. another fractur1. This is communicated fracture. I am tracing the rays Of the fracture from the wound. 0 Did they all merga in the wound?
 A. Yes, sir; from the wound out, a pieces of the bone being lifted, and adiating all around. "All fractures edges being raised. Scar and depres- sion of sofs tissues, upward and in ward from the bullet wound, on scalp"
 Q. Now, this old scar you are talk ing about: It was a depression in the scalp?
 A. It shows the healing of an old wound It was depression or the scalp. The bone under that showed no evidence of injury. If it extends to the bone, as rule. there is con nection made between that wound and the bone: but h,re the scalp was as free between that wound and the bone of the skull as 1t was in otaer parts.
 By MT. Nixon:
 O. If there had been a recent 0low causing the trouble where this de- pression was, there would have been some evidence of it oy which you oo,,ll Io%orunino th0t2
 A. Yes; there would have been what we call an ecchymosis., o There was none Of that appear ing at all? d..
 A. No, sir. Continuing reading from notes:) That is q description of the skull. now. There we're certain little wounds on the sternum, or breast-bone. This is just a memo randum from which we proposed to make more complete report. Minor wounds over sterno-pledo-nastol muscle one and one-half inches rom median line inward and downward I from jaw" That muscle runs rom the breats-bone to the clavicle. The distance we give you here is to where the bullet entered; that is. we as snmed that it was bullet. It had the appearance of such. "Contusion on left edge of manuhrium. partly healed" That was 2 slight abrasion At the breast bone
 Cross.Examination.

 fndicating.)
 Il o. Did you find any powder specks about that? 1 A. The other partis-Of course I wouldn't he able to swe>r that was rowder, but there were certain specks and they would wipe off. one of thu doctors did wipe it off with hi: soapy hands. (Readingo slight ec cymosis of the uppe- eye-lid." o. In your orinion. what was the I )cause of that. Doctor?
 T A. Having seen the man before n'
