Failure of hemhorrage in the arm wound was emphasized by the state as an indication that Hor an's heart had already stopped when that wound was inflicted. - . ' . . It is understood the state, possibly through testimony of E. O. Heinrich, will attempt to connect Horan's heart wound with the oaken chair sitting across the desk from Manning's red leather chair in the death room. .. There is an ..alleged bul let bruise on the chair back, state testimony has already indicated there were slivers of wood around the bullet hole in the back of Hor an's coat, and a bullet was found under the oaken chair. . ..Apparently, the state is seeking to forestall defense theories: of a duel and a dive for guns by placing Horan in the wooden chair when he was shot the first time. The defense took advantage df the presence of Dr, C. V. Hugh and Drr George H.-Adler on the arltnasa atanit. to aUDOOrt ft DO- tentlal contention that Horan's muscular action continued aner he was shot through tbe heart This it la haltered, the defense will use in reconciling Its theory of a gun duel wltn.
