might walk and havo cnrtuln mus
cular reactions pertaining to thn
defense theory of what happened
In Horace Manning's law office
tiin night of February n,
Deputy District Attomoy Van
Viiclor handed Moune a sheet of
pnpur which, hu said, purported
lo contain a hypothetical ques
tion. Dr. Men no stutod that he
hud provlously received and read
the question. Vim Vactor then
road tho question lo tho Jury,
It gave as a hypothetical case,
a young mun approximately 30
years of ago, approximately six
font In height, weighing approx
imately 130 lo 140 pounds, a
lawyer by profession, who had
received two wounds, ono In the
arm and ono In tho chest, giving
exact details nf tho wounds
found on tho body of Itnlph Ho
run hy Dr C. V. rtugh and Dr.
Ccorgo II. Adlor, county coroner.
It asked which of tho wounds,
In this hypothetical case, would
havo boon received first.
Dr. Monno, replied that, In bis
opinion, tho bullet .through tho
heart was the first one recolvod,
passing ns It did through two
main chambers of tho heart,
which stops heart action and
would produco the condition of
vory little blood around the arm
wound.
"How quickly 'did the heart
atop boating?" asked Van Vactor.
"There waa almost Instantane
ous unconsciousness," Dr. Mcnne
replied. Ha first slated that
this would occur In two minutes,
later amending his statement to
sny that unconsciousness would
occur in five seconds.
Defense Attorney Roberta ob
talued from Mcnne the admission
thst a person shot through the
heart might walk, and that in
tho muscular reaction his feet
might go back and forth or up
and down.
Charles Srhater, proprietor of
Iho Palm boor gardon, noxt took
tho stand. He said Manning
and T. R. Olllenwsters were In his
place of business after 4 o'clock,
February 12, and that at his re
quest tbo three of them had
slx-nunco glnssos of beer. Ho
said Manning talked about the
rocall. and sold It was not fair
to attempt to recall (illlouwators.
Scbnfor said Manning talked
freely as if he had had a drink
or two.
Olllen waters then took the
stand, and was questioned by
Guy Cordon. Ho told of the
same Incident that Bchafer had
related. Ho sold that at first
Manning stated he did not want
a drink or any beor, but finally
took tho boer. Clllenwnters
said ho askod Manning to go to
Medford with him, but the lutter
rofusod. Ho said Manning . ap
peared to havo been drinking
but was not Intoxicated. Askod
hy noberts It ho himself had
been drinking, Glllonwatora said
he bad not. .
