. Ter, no definite decision was reach
! ed as to the manner in which the
trigger was Jared or pulled.

{ bankment near the waters edge
| where she was discovered, and was
using the gun as a cane to either
I feel her way or to aid her in de-
scending. when the fatal shot was
discharged. He based the theory
( on the angle at which the shots
penetrated the lower part of the
+ left lung. He said he found the
hole TO go upward and to the left
and stated that the shot did not
pass through the body but was
+ lodged near the skin at the back.
/ He cOntended that she was carry

/ it had been discharged at close
range he asserted was evidenced
from the large hole in Miss Town

] burns surrounding the wound
! The first to testify at the inquest
was DR. F. J. Ryder of Rock Is

/ found Miss TowndTOw lying at the

/ that he had ben camping near the
/ Moline bridge and shortly before

short distance upstream. He de-
cIared that when he saw her FIRE
the first two shots She was at the
ton Of the embanlneut but found
her living at the bottom nearer the

theory of her stepping backward

charging the shotgun at the same

when the angle at which the shot
penetrated is considered.
