Q. Instead of across this way ? A Instead of across this way. In choking, the marks that way( indicating) would be up and down instead of straight 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 ? A No; the lower one was a little to the left side, just perhaps a trifle to the left of the median line. I don't mean from here (indicating), but just say a quarter of an inch on to the left. The others extending across to the right side on the median line. Q They were on the median line ? A Yes, yes; the lower one perhaps a little to the left. Q Slightly on the left tide of the neck ? A Yes. Q From the median line ? A Yes. Q So when standing by the bed there, following out the present theory as I understand it, he would 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 ? A Well, that depends on the man's position. He might be left handed or he might be right handed .He might approach the body this way, and so BC Archives GR-0419 Box 95 File 1903/18 BRITISH COLUMBIA. ATTORNEY GENERAL. Attorney General documents.
