C, Tiffin had declared short- ly after Dowsey's death that he was suspicious of the cause of death and that it looked to him as if Dowsey had been struck a powerful blow on the head before death. In the deposition made to Deputy Prose- eutor John D, Carmody Monday by the coroner at Camp Farwell, Dr. Tiffin stated that it was his opinion Dowsey had died as the result of an apoplectic fit. The entire testimony offered during the day was contra- dictory. “T am not surprised at the verdict of the jury,” said Major M. 8. Game, Broadway, asked me to perform the autopsy upon the body of his broth- er, Frederick A. Dowsey, who died on May 4 in Seattle. The body had been embalmed and the usual incision in the performance of an autopsy had been made on the right forehead, near the line of the hair. There was a curved, incised and contused wound of the scalp. Also there was a hemorrhagic inflation of the skin of the forehead about the wound and @ hematomajor infiliation of the scalp. An examination of the brain showed no evidence of central or spontaneous hemorrhage (popularly known as apoplexy); there was a fairly marked arterio sclerosis (so-called hardening of the arteries) of the cerebral vessels and of the R-34 and R-33 are stationed, night.
