N P Payne testified : Am county clerk. Had conversation with deft, tho day beford tho killing. Ho said ho wanted to see me. Wanted nio to issue him permission to entry fire-arms. Showed me a letter and read me a part of it. lie said ho was afraid that set would get him before ho left town. I told him 1 had no authority to license him to carry liro-nrms. That wiih on tho duy of the murder. J C Powell testified: Knew C T In grain. 1 lo wnB father of deft. Saw deft four or live days before tho killing. He wbh in niyollico. Tho duy was appointed to take evidence in the contest. Wyatt tho at torney, and I' rank Ingram both objected to taking Henry's evidence that day. Tho records in contest of will of C T ingrain were introduced ns evidence. Henry Ingram did not testify for tho reason that when ho appeared before mc, Mr Weathcrfoid the attorney, was not present, and Mr Wyatt who had agreed to take the testimony of a lady w itness, refused tofako tiiat of Henry or any other one as ho did not under stand the case. I-V(i W Maston testified: Am physi cian nnd surgeon. IIhvu been practicing 17 years. Wus present at tho examina tion of Henry Ingram's body, llotli shots ill breast had passed through the heart. Two distinct wounds in the heart. Skin in post mortem examination had been removed from tho head. i)r explained nt great length the cracks wliich ho discovered in tho skull. Hall came out at the back of the head where was a small hole. My attention was not called to tlio scar. A blow might frac ture tho skull, so miglit a ba'l. A man shot in the face like tins would very likely fall backward. A innii walking and shot through the heart would most likely fall forward. I do not think a ball would frrcturo a skull'to tho extent that Henry Ingrain's was when I examined it. Medical books say balls will fracture skull in all directions. Tho ball with which Lincoln was killed was a small one 32. It entered behind. It broke skull in front though it did not extend to the front. Think I saw 110 wounds in tho 6calp: l'.nllet was otlered in evidence. I)r J h Hill testified: Am physician. was present at an examination of the body of Henry Ingram, Nov 2.'i, 18111. Skiii was intact. Skull was easily shaken and moved before the skin was removed Described how tho skull was broken in various lines so tliut the skull could be lifted oir Showed to the jury by the use of a skull the thickest and weakest part of the skull, described course of two bullets shot in tho breast. At back of tho body the bullets were 4 '. inches apart. The two halls passed through the heart. Tho elfect would bo instant death. A man thus shot would collapse at once. Found powder burns in and around tho wounds. Farther in the powder burn was much plainer. I think no rib was struck by either ball. I"y Ti quest of Judge Whitney nnd Mr Hewitt, L. Ellis and myseh went ami exhumed the body. Tho deft nor his attorney were there- I talked to Mr Weather ford about the result of the examination 'lint, told him nothing about it. A J Hodites and my boy were there. Think Geo Hughes took up the body. The skull might have been broken by the bullet. I do not know how it was broken I) S Smith testified that lie was ac: quainted with the Ingram premises testified to them and that they are ii: Linn county, Oregon. lr M 1 1 JOllia testified: Resido in Al bany. Am physician. Practiced 13 yearn, V, as present nt both examina tion' of tho body of Henry Ingram after burial. -No dmerence in body at last examination from first, except there was more decomposition at last. Saw cut ill head. Think it was made by a blunt instrument. We could le'.l that the skull was broki.H before we removed the scalp Or produced the bullet taken from the sRini, which was ouerea in evuieiice. n. blow that would have broken the skull as this was would have been fatal, thougl not necessarily immediately. (Jun shot wounds are not as liable to fracture the skull ns a blow. Found nowder mark at the entrance to the breast wounds. Did not f.nd that either ball etruck the back bono. Hair rubbed off his head easily The cut in head did not go through the scalp. There was no fracture under the cut. l)Kt'I-:N.-si:. Dr 1) M Jones testified: Am physi cian. Heard most of the evidence of nhvsicians in this case. A blow on the skull would as a rule make a break in and then fractures wou'd extend out Even after death there is otten nerve force enough left in the body to keep uj the movement ot tue uioou. it is posm ble that the fracture of tho skull was made bv the bullet. There being no evidence to show that other force did it I sliould conclude that the bullet did it The fracture is a strange one. I can not conceive that a hammer or other instru ment would make such a fracture as this. Dr W II Davis recalled : Hall passing throug'.". a skull as this, would shutter the Bkull iu all directions. The bullet inth'scase could have shattered the skull as described. A et'.'oka on the head with a hammer or other instru ment would be followed by a swelling as a black eye, if delivered with force enough to shatter a skull as here do scribed. M Koch testified: Made map in evi dence. Witness explained various ob jects and distances on map. I)r J P Wallace testified : Am physi cian. Examined the body of Henry Ingram nt summons of sheriff. Dr Mas ton was along. Described the shot in the face. Found where the ball struck t) e back of the skull. Skull was broken so that it would open and shut like an oyster Ehell. I observed a small cut on scalp. Cut did not go through the scalp. It was barely possible that it was made by the ball. A clean cut would not swell much, but a blunt blow would swell up. V 1! liurr testified : Surveyed grounds and made plats of Inttram premises. Jus U Crawford testified. Am photo grapher. Took pictures here in evidence. Witness explained position from which the several pictures had been taken. Made them about two or three weeks after the murder. S M Needham testified: Live near the Ingram Vace. Heard eight shots h.'tiveen 8 and I) o'clock. Sound came from towards Ingram's place. Two dn ferent sounds. I was at home when I heard Ihem. I live one mile ami a half from Frank's. Some of tho shots were very near together. Heard one shot three times. I L London U-s'iHed: Worked for Frank dui:.;; various kinds of work. The man I saw the t-econd night was tall about six feet lull. Frank brother-in-law ami uiiid I ill believe, 1 a job was being put up on him at Henry's. After I snw tho man the first evening we lumen about w ho he was. M i:,,uul. said wo should not toll Frank wesaw the man. She said there was trouble etioimh. She said the trouble was about a law suit. Frank got up early f'unday morn ing. Said ho was going aft ir a sheen. Don't know anvthimr about, sheen ai the time ot shooting it was pretty dark. Think the moon had cone down. Turned out from work about 5 o'clock in the evening of the killing. Wanted ti e work tone earlv so the hub's could be nut out Frank atu but little minner. II nvi bun dled horses ull mv life. Horse did not get seared at the man I saw in tho barn yard, look caru of horses at ham the night of killing without a light. Twenty minutes after the first shot I heard the shooting commence. Think I would have known my brother had I been standing as near us 1' rank was when he shot his brother Had tho man ran around the omer of the house he would havo not out of sight sooner. Frank was barefooted when running to see tho man. ft, was about 7 o'clock on the evenim? of the killing that Frank took the two pistols. 1 hey wero both loaded. Frank said be was afraid some one wou'd kill him. He ud his father's will was no food. It was not very dark when I smoked the Httar tto 011 my way to the barn. The doa was tied that night. I saw Frank lie the dog once. It was not long after the killinv: before I started to tow n. Knew notbinir about Frank changing his clothes after the killing. When I started to town I did not know who was killed. Do not know what became ot his clothes after dianging. Before changing he had on overulls During last term of court I was going out to Frank's. I was told to take the overalls out of the house. 1 did nnd put them in the barn. Did not know but what it might have been Hen ry that was killed when 1 left for town. I asked Frank if it was Henry. He said it mighc be. Never saw Frank and the man who prowled at the same time. I examined the trees and hog pen carefully to see any snot marks, but saw none Frank showed me how be held the re volvers when bo shot Henry. Ho did not say where the balls struck tho man. ie sanl when the man came up he told him "bands up" and the man raised his gun when he shot both revolvers. When I camo up 1 asked trunk if the man was ueaii. no said 110 was. Think it was light enough to see a man raise a nun. Frank said a man ran ofl When the shoot ing began. I Baw tracks tho way the man went. They cooked eggs one morn ing that were not put on the table. I know not who made the tracks about the house. The first nlaoe I came to when I came to town was the sheriff's. Did not tell in Gomel's saloon on that evening that Frank said it was Henry that was killed. Did not say the next dav that they (meaning Frank and Oaklyjknew it was Heiirv when he was killed. The tall man of the two prowlers had the mm. John Ingram and I put in Frank's crop after killing. Judge Whitney told me that I ought to change attorneys, said it tiu not look well tor me to havo the tame ittorneys as Frank. M"tl Scott testified: Went to speaking, met Frank Ingram on the day of the kill log. F M Reilfied testified: On Friday pre ceding the day cn which the killing, saw r ranK In this city at about 9 o clock. Ed Carter testified. Know Frank.

Was standing close to he tree when the man came up. Mv Intention was to take him prisoner 1 do not know what I would have done had I known it was my brother. Henry lived on the place ahout two vears before tiie shooting. Made no effort to find out who the deceased was. Loudon examined and said the. man was dead.
