| − | A Instead of across this way. In choking, the marks that

| − | across—is that what you mean ? Q. No, no; but these marks or scars, as we understood it, they were all in a straight line across the neck somewhat
| + | |
| − | like that (indicating) ? A. They were parallel, transversley I say in the median line, that is across here (indicating) four of them-about here. Q. O,I misunderstood you. That is one direct above the other ?
| + | |
| − | A Yes Q On which side of the neck ? On the left side of the neck ?

| − | only have his thumb left for the left side of the neck,
| + | |
| − | would'nt he ? His thumb was all that could be on the left
| + | |
| − | side of the neck- his fingers would naturally clutch for
| + | |
| − | the other side, would they not ?

| − | A Well, the thumb would be on the left side of the neck.
| + | |
| − | How would these marks get on the median line ?
