believe was Fong Pah and the body of a woman whose name I believe to be Sue [Su__?] I examined Fong Pa__[?] body first and the hands and fore arms were cut about a good deal. There were many wounds on the head, 3 of which penetrated the skull and the wound immediately behind the ear had probably injured the internal carotid artery. Three of the wounds would have either of them cause death. The wounds could not have been self inflicted. Such an instrument as the hatchet produced (if a little sharper ) might have produced said wounds. I made the examination in jail yard. I examined the woman at the house where the fire occurred about an 1 1/2 hour or 2 hours later than when I had examined the man. The woman was laying on her left side with her leg and thigh bone burnt very much by the fire . She had a large cut on the left ear and temple which penetrated the skull.
