Q. Did you then see the patient in her room A. I did. Q. And what did you find A. I found that her face was black, extending over both eyes and under them, as though a blow might have been in the center of the forehead or might have been on the side Q. Does it often occur that a blow which leaves no visible marks at the time, in the eyes or between the eyes, or above the eyes, afterwards produces blackness which remains for a long time A. Very often. The blood settles under the eye after the blow Q. And shortly after a blow, a half a day or so, it might not show at all? A. It may not Q. In your judgment were the results you found on this patient the results of a very severe blow or otherwise A. Not a very severe blow. Q. Did you inquire into the matter A. I did. Q. Satisfy yourself of what had taken place A. Yes sir.
