The  CHIEF  JUSTICE.     Describe  how  the  man  was  ?

The  Witness.  I  think  it  was  the  right  arm  ;  and  he  was
also  wounded  in  the  lung  and  right  side,  with  a  musket  or  rifle
shot— cannot  tell  which.  It  was  a  gun-shot  wound  ;  and  the
left  side  and  arm  were  very  much  peppered  up  Avitli  small  shot,
like  bird-shot  or  squirrel-shot.
Q.  How  many  wounds  were  there  on  his  right  arm  ?  A.  I
think  there  was  one  on  his  right  arm  ;  there  was  a  large  gun-
shot won  id  through  the  fleshy  part  of  the  right  arm — I  think
it  was  the  right  arm.  It  didn't  break  the  bone  at  all ;  it  was
just  through  the  fleshy  part,  and  another  one  tlirough  the  side.
Q.  Did  the  one  through  the  side  penetrate  the  lung?  A.  I
think  it  did,  yes,  sir.
Q.  What  was  the  extent  of  the  wound — severe  ?  A.  Yes,
sir,  severe.  It  was  a  mischief  to  him  to  have  a  wound  through
the  right  lung.
Q,  How  long  did  you  treat  him  ?  A.  Something  like  four
or  six  weeks,  I  don't  remember  how  long  ;  six  weeks  probably,
or  may  be  two  montlis.
Q.  What  effect  did  the  wounds  have  upon  him — what  did
they  produce  ?  A.  I  think  they  produced  pheumonia — in-
flammation of  the  lung,  I  think.
Q.  Was  lie  disabled  all  the  time  from  labor  i     A.  Yes,  sir-

Q.  Was  his  condition  critical  at  any  time  during  your  treat-

ment  of  him  ?  A,  Yes,  sir,  his  condition  was  very  criticah  J
usked  Dr.  Rnffin  and  one  or  two  others  to  go  in  with  me  to  see
him,  which  they  did.
