He called his children, and sent for the doctor, and Dr Stewart came. He (Mr Wright) was sure his wife didn't say she was ill wheh he left her yesterday morn- ing. Fanny Wright, daughter of deceased deposed that she last saw her mother alive on Wednesday morning. Her mother came into her bedroom and called her up, and then returned to her own room. She appeared to be in her usual health, and did not complain of being unwell. She next saw. her mother lying asleep in bed on her side, and she went and moved her on to her back to allow her to breathe more freely. She was alive then. Her father came in about noon and called her in to her mother, who he. said was dead. She- . was lying on her side this time also. John Warrener deposed that, about 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning he was coming home, and saw Mr Wright sitting in his porch.

When he first saw her on the step she was not exactly drunk, but muddled. She had been a heavy drinker these ten years. To a juryman — She was lying on her back when he left the room. Dr. W. R. Stewart deposed that he. was called in to see the deceased about noon on Wednesday, and found her dead.
