dencc was next entered by Foreman Martin of the coroner's jury, which examined the accident Martin stat ed that the back of Switendich's head looked as though some sharp instru- ment had struck it. When | put my hand there" said the witness" there was no back to his head.
 Mrs. Switendich, who had been sitting with her attorneys, and who had once before succumbed to her emotions, hurried from the court room as Martin took the stand to tcs- tify as to the condition of the body.
 On cross-cXamination, Martin ad- mitted that the body was badly brok- cn and bruised, but denied having seen a place about 200 feet below where the accident took place, where it was said Switendich's head had struck a timber.
 Regarding the condition of the chute lip, Martin stated that it ap- pearcd the shaft was not straight, and that the cable had, when the skip was between the and 10 levels, scraped along the timbers about the spot where an iron lug extended into the shaft, holding one corner of the chute lip. It was probably the action of the cable, which caused the bolt to become loose and drop out, he stated.
 Stoddard corroboratcd this testi- mony and extended it, claiming that the bolts were much too long for the place they were used, and they haven't got any short ones to this day"
 The croSs-examination of Stoddard is looked forward to with interest. It will probably occur the first thing this morning. when the case IS re- stunned at 9 o'clock.
