He declares further that he found there, a strong built, black-bearded man about thirty years of age, and a stranger to him, lying on a bed of boughs in the light of a fire and none other.

This man was groaning in great pain from a wound made by some heavy weapon on the side of his head.

The flesh of the cheek and ear were swollen and lacerated.

Deponent further declares that he administered an opiate and dressed and put a number of stitches in the injured parts and bound them with a bandage soaked in liniment.

Then deponent returned to his home, blindfolded as he had left it.
