Dr J. M. Morgan Sworn
I was called to see a man
lying in the Hall of the house called the
Bay windows lying upon his
back in the North hall of the building
there is two front doors to the hall his
head, part of the shouders were outside
the inner door he had a pillow under
his head, the man had a wound upon
the right side of his neck he was unconsious
The breath was laboring there
was no pulsation of the radial artery
by passing my hand on the region
of the heart there was a very faint flutter
scarcely perceptable, I remained until
he died and saw his body after death
in my opinion the wound caused his
death did not hear the shot dont know
how long after when I arrived It was 8 minutes
of one oclock when a man came to my
office to go there, he died at one fifty five
oclock
Cross Ex
It was across one block and one street I walked
as fast as possible I think not but three
Minutes after I was called before I got there
The man was lying as follows head & shoulders outside the inner door his body extending East & west with a pillow under his head saw there when I first went about 20 persons and do not know that I can name any particular one – I paid particular attention to the Wounded Man I might add by way of Correction that I said Ruby standing in the door leaning into the Middle Parlor,
Door in the outside of the hall was open
when I arrived, Saw a Man 5 foot 8 to
10 In - heighth Would weigh about 160 pounds
rather broad shoulder hair Sandy & Cart close,
quite heavy sandy Moustache some gray hair
in it, balance face shorn smooth appeared to be
fresh showered forehead or frontal sinus very low and very heavy
the lower jaw, was also heavy, the whole face
was heavy and from the appearance of the
Man I judged him to be rather a rough
character at the time He had on a pair
Cheap blue overals, a dark colored coat
had [?] a little light thread running through
the Material flannel shirt had been
laced up in front, was not when I
first saw him his Boots were well
worn one ripped in the eye seem and
heels were worn of upon side as I remember
them I dont think the Overalls were
rolled up at the bottom he had no hat
and I saw none in the Hall I passed
a probe in the wound and found that the
ball passed from the right side across
and down and inwards beneath the Sternum
I can describe the position of the assailant
and assailed from the wound at the time he
received the wound
The assailant was to the right and
in front it the ball ranged cross and downwards
crossed and breaking I ha (illustrated to the
court positions)
I remained until the man died which was 1.55 O'Clock Am
As I stated before there was quite a crowd there I was working with the Man, My first efforts was to see if there was no external hemorage or from any vessels within reach, Next to restore the action of the heart failing in that the Man died there were several there most of them were strangers to me they brougth everything I asked for, I was furnished with brandy there the party was a stranger that brought it to me I do not know his name, one man I do know his features but not his name
