 Dr. Manning was briefly cross-ex- amined by Mir. Schenck and Dr. Miller by MT. Wilson. Both witnesses agreed that the head wound was the one that would have been more likely to cause instant death.
 Dead Mans Widow Test.fies.
 Mrs. Martin F. Schwab, of Payson,
 Utah, widow of the murdered man, who, sitting with her little 1S-months'- old girl directly across from the wit ness stand, had kept her head averted at the various times her husbands skull was being examined, was next called to the stand by the state. Mrs. George Mccormick took the little one and left the courtroom.
 Inadvertently, the skull had been left on the floor near the witness chair and the widow, who had so far avoided looking at it, had to sit right beside it. Assistant County Attorney liar ben hastily removed the ghastly "ex- hibit" and covered it up.
 Mrs. Schwab made a splendid wit ness. Mir. Gold conducted the exam nation She said her name was Nal vina Schwab, that she has two boys and three girls She named the two concerns her husband represented. She said he was Mormon. She said he left their home March 16, 1920, for Arizona. He always wrote her every day. She heard from him when he was at Fillmore, Milford, Cedar City and St. George, Utah, receiving several letters from the latter place, then from St. Thomas and Las Vegas, New, Needles, Kingman, Oatman, Seligman, Ash Fork and Flagstaff. In the less than two days he was here he wrote her three times, the last letter being written on the morning of his death.
 Mrs. Schwab identified every article found in the grave with her husband except the red mackinaw, which she positively said was not his. Under Mir. Schenck's short cross-examination she admitted he might have bought the mackinaw after he left home, though she doubted it, for she believ- ed he would have written her about it if he had.
 Mrs. Schwab identified the Mormon union suit which the dead man wore under his two-piece underclothing by the marks she had worked on each breast of the garment.
 At this point, Attorney Schenck dis covered holes, apparently made by a bullet, in each flap of the four-in- hand tie Schwab had worn, indicating that the body bullet must have entered very near the median line.
 Mrs. Schwab identified some of the papers found in the grave, including his Mormon Temple recommendation. She said her husband was 50 years old the month before his death, that ne weighed l37 pounds.
 Schwab's Brother on Stand.
 Carl H. Schwab, of Payson, Utah, brother of deceased, was the next wit ness and the last one to be called Sat Irday afternoon. He saw his brother for the last time the day before he eft for the road and had last heard from him at Oatman. Then, Mrs Schwab not hearing from her husband after April Is, had come to him, and he had wired the sheriff at Holbrook Tor information.
