Soon marshal, sheriff, coroner and a large crowd were at the scene, an inquest was held and a verdict rendered, and McFarland is in jail awaiting the action of the Grand Jury, now in session. The body was dissected by Drs. Larsh, Brinker, Whitinger and Bowen, who found the knife blade penetrated the heart to a depth of an inch and a half. Either stab would have been fatal.
