W> J. Perry being duly sworn says that by examination he finds the body in a bad state of decomposition . . . he found a cauterized wound evidently caused by a blow to the head or other violence. The blow wasnt of sufficient force to cause a fracture of the skull . . . It was impossible to say that there was any concussion or contusion of the brain as it was . . . so badly decomposed . . . It is my opinion that the deceased came to his death by violence . . . W. J. Merry, MD
