Two
bullet
holes
are
seen
;
one
over
the
region
of
the
heart
;
the
other
piercing
the
breast-bone
just
above
the
abdomen
.
It
is
upon
this
last
that
the
gaze
becomes
concentrated
:
since
around
its
orifice
appears
a
circle
of
blood
with
streams
straying
downward
.
These
have
saturated
the
soft
cottonade
--
now
seemingly
desiccated
.
The
other
shot-hole
shows
no
similar
signs
.
It
is
a
clear
round
cut
in
the
cloth
--
about
big
enough
for
a
pea
to
have
passed
through
,
and
scarce
discernible
at
the
distance
.
There
is
no
blood
stain
around
it
.
"
It
,
"
says
Zeb
Stump
,
pointing
to
the
smaller
,
"
it
signifies
nothin
'
.
It
's
the
bullet
I
fired
myself
out
o
'
the
gully
;
the
same
I
've
ben
tellin
'
ye
o
'
.
Ye
obsarve
thar
's
no
blood
abeout
it
:
which
prove
thet
it
wur
a
dead
body
when
it
penetrated
.
The
other
air
different
.
It
wur
the
shot
as
settled
him
;
an
ef
I
ai
n't
dog-gonedly
mistaken
,
ye
'll
find
the
bit
o
'
lead
still
inside
o
'
the
corp.
.
Suppose
ye
make
a
incizyun
,
an
see
!
"
The
proposal
meets
with
no
opposition
.
On
the
contrary
,
the
judge
directs
it
to
be
done
as
Zeb
has
suggested
.
The
stays
,
both
fore
and
back
,
are
unloosed
;
the
water-guards
unbuckled
;
and
the
body
is
lifted
out
of
the
saddle
.
It
feels
stark
and
stiff
to
those
who
take
part
in
the
unpacking
,
--
the
arms
and
limbs
as
rigid
as
if
they
had
become
fossilised
.
The
lightness
tells
of
desiccation
:
for
its
specific
gravity
scarce
exceeds
that
of
a
mummy
!
With
respectful
carefulness
it
is
laid
at
full
length
along
the
grass
.
The
operators
stoop
silently
over
it
--
Sam
Manly
acting
as
the
chief
.
Directed
by
the
judge
,
he
makes
an
incision
around
the
wound
--
that
with
the
circle
of
extravasated
blood
.
