Q In what condition did you find him ? A Do you want this in extenso  ? Q No, Just embrace it. A I saw a Chinaman lying on a couch in a collapsed condition.

Q     I believe you performed the postmortem ?

A Yes. Q Now, can you tell us what was the cause of his death 7 A The cause of his death was hemorrhage. internal from a ruptured left kidney. Q Was there anything to indicate what had caused the rupture of the kidney ? A Nothing beyond the fact that there was a bruise over the region of the kidney— the same kidney. Q That bruise that you refer to, was that of recent origin, or could you tell  ? A It was a discolor evidently, the covering of the skin well defined, and apparently recent I should say. It

 had not undergone changes of color as an ordinary bruise

does showing it was not of recent origin. That is, it had not turned green, yellow, and blue and so on; it was apparently recent bruise. BC Archives GR-0419 BRITISH COLUMBIA. ATTORNEY GENERAL. Box 100 File 1904/10 Attorney General documents.
