Commonwealth v. Dunan
128 Mass. 422, 1880 Mass. LEXIS 105
Opinion
These exceptions cannot be sustained. The provision made by the St. of 1877, c. 200, for an autopsy by a medical examiner, does not render other competent evidence inadmissible. The inquiry as to “ the history of Bridget Walters ” does not appear to have been material. The statement of the deceased was not shown to have been a dying declaration, and was rightly rejected. Exceptions overruled.
