Q. There were four across the median line? A. Yes. Q. Which one was the shortest? A. The lowest one was the shortest. They were all in the main across this way parallel (indicating). Q. They ran directly across the neck this way (indicating) instead of up and down? A. Exactly. Q. What size were those marks? A. From quarter of an inch to say three eighths or half an inch, from an eighth of an inch we will say to perhaps three eighths. I think that's exact measurements I have down in my report. Q. You speak now of the abrasions of the skin? A. Yes. Q. What size were the bruses under - were there any bruses in the skin, under the scars? A. The bruses-well, there is something I forgot to put in that report. Under the trychea there was something injected bloody in character. Q. What size were those bruses under the abrasions of the skin? A. What part of the neck do you refer to? Q. In the neck where the abrasions ran straight across-under those scars which ran across the neck in this way (indicating)? A. The seat of fracture was higher up. Suppose they ran across that way (indicating) under those four scars; the mucous membrane under the trychea was injected-engorged with blood. Q. By that you mean that the bottom part of this, of the windpipe-what is known as the Adam's Apple-was forced up? A. That's what I mean. Q. Into the upper portion of the neck? A. Yes; you'r getting him lower down, the trouble was higher up
