Of the fact that the “stunning blow” which Dr. Wilkins said knocked hit to, his knees did not scratch or bruise the defendant's head he said: “The defendant does not know with what sort of weapon he was struck or if he was struck with any weapon. I do not believe that a blow with a lead pipe or a hammer could haye been struck through @ derby hat: without marking his head. I believe, as you will, too, that the blow was struck with the fist of the burglar who after. ward grabbed him by the throat.” “The number of wounds on Mrs, Witicins's head is the best proof,” said Mr. Wysong, “of the difficulty the ‘third burglar, called ‘Dick’ by his | !
