came through the wound ; he was firmly impressed with the
idea that he must die, and gave directions about his wife and
child. About four o'clock he revived a little, but there was no
reaction, or anything like, but he sunk till twenty minutes past
one •when he died. The post-mortem examination showed the
ball passed between the third and fourth rib, through the left
lobe of the lungs, and passed into the back bone and lodged
there. The ball caused his death. He was a small man,
weighing about 135 or 140. I noticed his right hand after
death; the fingers were about half closed, and could not be
straightened ; his arm, when we were probing, was drawn back ;
his arm was probably thrown forward when he received the shot ;
that shot was the sole cause of his death.
CroBB Examined. Several boys and some ladies were at Mr,
Harney's when I arrived. Saw Mr. Sturgus soon after I entered.
Have no recollection of seeing any other man. The boyg
assisted in taking oflF his coat. Ed. Knight was one. Dr.
Yandell came in, and Dr. Caldwell soon after. Took hold of
the probe and tried. He suggested the arm should be raised,
so as to restore it to same position as when ball entered. It
waa before this that Butler spoke of his difficulty with Ward.
I was kneeling down. Butler spoke loud enough for all of the
physicians to hear. We were all listening to what he said.
