"Did anything peculiar about the wound impress you?" he asked.
"Yes. The forehead of the deceased was powder-marked."
"Showing that the weapon had been fired close to him?"
"Yes."
"Anything else?"
"One thing. The bullet slanted into the head toward the right."
"Where was the chair in which the deceased was seated? I mean in what part of the room."
"Pushed close to the left-hand wall and parallel to it."
"Very close?"
"Touching it."
