shortly removed to the residence of the de ceased where he made a very com plete examination finding wounds on the front and back of the head of de ceased He enumerated the wounds and said the skull was crushed The wound near the eye on the right side of the head had inflicted by some blunt instrument crushing the skull The other wounds with the exception of one at the back of the head were all sufficient to cause death and he designated the wound on the right side of the head as being the first blow struck This blow alone would have caused almost instantaneous death His idea was on seeing the body that Mr Booth had been shot as the wounds being one above the other on the right side of the head gave him the impression that they were made by a bullet There were five marks upon the face two on either side of the nose and one near the mouth which had undoubtedly been inflicted by finger nails and Illustrated to the jury how he considered it had been done The murderer had evidently grasped his victim by the face im bedding his finger nails in his face Witness identified the hat of Mr Booth The hat bore marks consist ing of a small portion of human hair to which a minute patch of skin was attached and bore further evidence of the blow behind having been in through the hat The wounds outside of that made on the right side of the inflicted by a differ ent instrument and one that covered more surface Witness made an examination of the room the following day and noticed blood upon the wall the examination ness Mrs Booth was an attentive listener The family of Crocker pied a seat immediately behind the de fendant and all paid close attention The doctor illustrated the striking of the blows as he thought they were struck by the murderer He also gave as his opinion that the finger nail marks on the had been made by the right hand of the person who struck the blows If the blows had been delivered while the body was in a recumbent position they could have been struck by either hand TESTIMONY W J Cashin Uinta coun ty was the next witness sworn He was called to the scene of the murder on January and found the body lying on the floor of the the face being covered a

the committee was not altogether acceptable to the convention It gave preference to proxies over alternates and A G and J S Rawlins objected to it proven himself a friend of the people DAKKE SPEAKS FOR HOWAT Still the convention stood in some dread of McNallys unquestioned larity and the dread was only relieved when the next nomination was that of Andrew Howat It was made by S W Darke He still

that It would be courtesy to have the out side counties put first on the roll call Delegate Sloan took a different view and succeeded In getting the convention to go with him against Mr motion on the ground that the proposed courtesy would be but a courtesy On the contrary he it would shift the responsibility of the first vote on the outside counties whereas he thought Salt Lake ought to bear its

deceased He placed InV left hand fingers on the wounds and then the right He found from this experiment that the left band con formed more to toe shape of the wounds than the right This is m di rect
