Dr NJ S. Goodrich of Waterville tes-
tilted regarding the x-Ray plates and
said that in his judgment in the case
of a complete dislocation of the an
kle and two fractures of the leg, a man
could not walk $50 feet without col
lapsing. He thought that the end Of
the fibula would have protruded
through the skin and he did not think
a man could have endured the PAIN
to walk that distance. He said the x
Ray plate showed two fractures, one
splintering and the other transverse.
However, he thought that a man with
a partial dislocation and two fractures
might have walked that distance.
The defendant, John A. Hyland, tes-
titled that on that night Normand was
intoxicated enough to be ugly and trou-
blesome. Normand and Pagan were
talking loud and witness had asked Nor
mand to go home. Normand had gone
out of the room for a few minutes and
then had returned with hammer and
had a few words with Butler. Hyland
had urged Normand 20 go home and be
a good fellow. Normand had hooked
into" Hyland's neck and both men fell
down. Normand on top. Witness had
received a kick in the face from some
one. He had helped escort Normand to
the door but he did not strike Normand
that night, nor did he sell any intoxi-
eating liquors to Normand. Normand
sat on the steps and then went down.
Witness testified that he does not sell
intoxicating drinks at his shop.
