Pre-Lindsell at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon. Mr. B. G. M.

There was no charring of that wound, in dicating that the bullet had come out at that point. The bullet traversed the base of the "brain and fractured a portion of the base of the skull. The position of the two holes was consistent with the wound having been self- inflicted.
