Scalp Practically Smashed. Dr. J. R. Dovey, medical offteer in charge of Kowloon Mortuary, spoke of making a post mortom examination, and described the various wounds on the dead man's head. The scalp, he said, was practically smashed In on the left side, and one blow had penetrated There were four to the brain. fractures at the base of the skull. The right hand was clenched and. the left hand was open. On the knuckles of the clenched hand there was a cut about an inch and half long. The cause of death was multiple wounds of the skull, fractures, and laceration of the brain. Witness said the stomach was sent to be tested with regard to alcohol, and it was found that alcohol was present.
Witness gave it as his opinion that a chopper or an axe could have caused the injuries, or some, heavy instrument with a sharp edge. One of the wounds would Strike out the teams which you probably have been caused when The Inter-unit athletic meeting
