The documentary ivldence which the proseculon began submitting and which it Is stated constitutes tie bulk of Its case Is contained In a document authenticated by the supreme court of the state as the his tory of the Standard Oil company before that body. It was objected to by the de fense as irrelevant, but was allowed to go In by Judge Banker, presiding.

Details of the fnqnesl. The Inquest began at 4:90 o'clock and was conducted by County Attorney Slabaugh and Assistant County Attorney roster. The first witness waa Dr. D. A. Foots. He tes tified tlAt he conducted the autopsy upon . i. , . me uuoy oi nernert u. tsurKe at tne cor oner's office Monday evening. "There were no Imperfections upon thu body except the marks and contus'ons about the head and face. These were se vere. The upper Hp and nose were swollen, the upper lip on the outer and Inner sur face, the wound indlcat'ng that It may have been made by a sandbag or a severe blow of a powerful fist, or by a severe fall. There were abrasions of the skin be low the tight eye, both eyes were swcllen. due to being bit. Some of the marks on the face could not have been made by mere lying on cinders. There waa evidence of another blow between the eyes. There were some abrasions on the back of the hands due possibly t lying on the cinders. I noticed the tieadN moved. very easily.. and discovered uAon -Vloser " exaw llmrtton "the neck' was ..broken between the sixth and seventh cerebral vertebrae. . Such an Injury considerable Internal hemorrhage, but this would be due to the position In which the body waa discovered to be lying. It is very possible that the neck waa broken by the blow on the mouth. Nothtnsr to Indicate Fall. There were no bruises about the head or body to Indicate that he had fallen. The nose was not . bruised, the blow having struck Immediately under the nose. Had he fallen from an eminence, especially In the position he was found, the nose, which Is the most prominent feature of the face, would have been bruised or lacerated. I am of the opinion that death was caused from the blow on the mouth which broke his neck." The second witness was William I. Kin dred, an employe of the water works at Florence, who testified to the first dis covery of th body, giving substantially the same details that appeared in The Bee Monday. He added that there were no marks about where th body lay that In dicated any struggle. . Tha body was lying on its, breast, with one hand partly under the body and the other arm lying length- wise ot the body, with the palms of his hands up. Burke's hat lay about five feet southeast of th c-ooy. I ne nat was lying with the erown up, ana ii aia noc snow any Indications of having been In any struggle. He stated further that he called to D. C. Has and one or two others at the pump ing station and they together examined the body, but did not disturb It, but did make a careful search all about ther for I evidences of a, struggle, but could find none. 1 The body lay eighteen feet from the ash car. and the witness was of the opinion he could not hav fallen from the car, but that the body had been placed. Unas Tells His Experience. D. C. Hass waa the next witness. He is pipe superintendent at the pumping sta tion. He told of Kiodred Informing him of the body and then corroborated his version ot the affatr. He said there was a pool of blood under the bead.
