Testimony in the case
against Jerome Fry
Dr. J.M. Hogan
Dr. J. M. Hogan, being first duly sworn on
behalf of the State, testified as follows:
Q. You live in Rhinelander, Doctor
A. Yes Sir.
Q. You are a regular practicing physician
and surgeon
A. Yes Sir.
Q. And practicing here in Rhinelander
A. Yes Sir.
Q. Were you called to attend professionally
John C. Johnson at Gagen
A. Yes Sir, I was.
Q. Do you remember what day that was
A. I think it was the 27 th of September.
Q. Do you remember the day of the week
A. Sunday.
Q. How did you go there
A. I went there by hand car.
Q. Where did you find Mr. Johnson
A. I found him in his saloon building at
Gagen.
Q. You may state what condition you
found him in at that time
104
A. When I arrived there he was in an unconscious
condition, and his condition was
fairly good, that is, his general condition:
his pulse was fairly good but his breathing
was bad at times, and he cold not be roused
at that time from his unconsciousness. At
that time I found three scalp wounds on
the median line of the exterior part of the
scalp, one wound about an inch and a half
above the ear on both sides. He showed
evidence of considerable hemorrhage from
the right ear and the left eyelid was swollen,
closing the eye. That was about all that
could be detected at that time. We could
not detect any fracture of the skull on that
examination.
Q. Did you prescribe for him at that time
A. Yes Sir. I left some medicine for him.
Q. How long did you stay at that time
A. I should judge I was there about an hour
and a half or two hours. I dressed the scalp
wounds and cleaned him up as much as
possible.
Q. Was he unconscious during all the time
you were there
A. Yes, he was.
Q. You did not get him back to consciousness
A. No sir.
Q. Did you see him after that
A. No, I did not.
Q. Were you present at the time of the
inquest on his body
A. Yes Sir.
