The ball entered one inch above and in front of the right ear and made its exit through the lambdoidal suture posteriorly.
Hall of Denver, Col., in an interesting study of gunshot wounds of the brain, writes as follows:-- "It is in regard to injuries involving the brain that the question of the production of immediate unconsciousness assumes the greatest interest.

We may state broadly that if the medulla or the great centers at the base of the brain are wounded by a bullet, instant unconsciousness must result; with any other wounds involving the brain-substance it will, with very great probability, result.

But there is a very broad area of uncertainty.

Many instances have been recorded in which the entrance of a small bullet into the anterior part of the brain has not prevented the firing of a second shot on the part of the suicide.

Personally, I have not observed such a case, however.
