Dr. pathologist, said he performed an autopsy on the body oi.’ the late Fred McWade on the morning of May 18. He found s small cut, about seven-eighths of an inch long on the head. That cut, the wit- ness said, was 'relstively" super- ficial and there was no fracture underneath ifs surface. 'nut time was a fracture at the base oi the skull into which witness could lay his finger though the scalp above the fracture showed no break. The brain on the opposm side from the fracture showed a softening of the tissue and there was a hemorrhage of the brain at that point.

The witness said the fracture had been caused by a. blow of considerable force. Asked by the Coroner if he thought such a trac- ture could be caused by a fall down eight steps, witness said he would not say it was impossible but would say it was "highly im- probable." ‘ Coroner-"The fracture was very extensive, Doctor?" WitnessJ-“Yes, much more ex- tensive than one would expect to find from a fall of that distance." Coroner-"Is it your opinion such a fracture would be more inclined to be due to a blow?" Witness-“I would think so." Coroner-“Wouid you say that _McWede might live a little while after such a fracture-lb or 30 minutes?" ' Witness-"He might continue to breathe a short time. Death might not be immediate, but it latlvely sudde ." Coroner-"What sort of instru- ment would produce such a wound, Doctor?"
