OTTAWA. Anril I.

Examination of the body of Hon. D, Arcy
McGee shows that the ball entered the back
Of the neck, apparently while he was in the
act OF STOPPING to open the door, his latch
key being in the keyhole. The ball passed
through his head and lodged in the door. The
conlcal end Of the ball was outermost in the
door, indicating that it most have been up
side down in the barrel, or or else have twist
ed round in the unfortunate man head. His
hair was singed, showing that the frealm
must have been held close to his head The
house where he lodged belonged to Mrs
TrOtter, and son of Mrs Trotter, who is
one OF the Parliament pages, was returning
home and was at some distance from the house
when he heard the shot On reaching his
mothers door he found Mr.. McGee dead on
the pavement. He saw no person in the
neighbourhood and heard no footsteps The
night was bright and clear and the assassin
must have been either concealed behind the
fence OF vacant lot opposite, or made a very
hasty retreat Immediately on firing the shot.
Mr.. McGee had Just left the House Of Parli-
ment and had a cigar in his mouth when
killed. His brains exuded from the wound
and the sidewalk was covered with his blood.
Sir j A. Macdonald, Hon. Col. Gray, Speak
er Cockbum and many other members Of
Pertinent were quickly on the spot, and Sir
John has taken measures 10 have all sources
of exit from the city strictly guarded.
