Lowery had made no reply to Turner's question this time, but after they had walked about 20 or 25 feet far- ther they were again accosted, and this time he told the accused to "beat it." : "He told me," the witness said, "if I raised my hands, glasses or no glasses, he would hit me. I went to push him aside to walk away and he struck me." Dr. A. W. Harding testified he attended Lowery the next morning. "There were no bruises or lacera- ticns on o about the face," he said, "just the injured eye. There was %n entire cut on the upper right eye-lid. It was cut right through, as if by a plece of sharp glass. "The wound went right through the cornea and the interior of the eye-ball was filled with blood. Much of the internal contents of the eye had leaked out," he continued, "which means the total loss of sight." He went on to state the loss of sight was beyond repair and in time the eye might even have to be removed. During the cross examination, he said there was slight swelling in the upper cheek and a little in the eyebrow. Although he wouldn't state definitely, he claimed it didn't seem as if a blow of the fist could have caused the injury because of the lack of bruises about the eye. "I refuse to state," he said, "what would or did, hit or break the glasses." : Crown Attorney A. C. Hall asked Dr. Harding if a fall could have caused the glasses to shatter and thus cause the injury, but he re- plied that he was in no position to say.
