Ragin, coroner of Vermillion County, was the next witness for the State to take the stand, who stated that he found the body of the murdered woman on a bed in a pool of blood with her clothing torn and her waist burned about the chest. He said three bullets were extracted from the body. On investigation he found that one ballet was fired from in front and two from the rear. Eight stab wounds were found, five in the shoulder, two in the left arm and one in the back. Merle Jenkins, the young man who captured McDonald, told of the chase he made after McDonald.
