to his room with a severe attack OF

formed OF his fathers death until he was
better. The tolling Of the church bells and
the excitement aroused the suspicious OF

condition. He will be removed this after
noon to President Hopkins house. She

What DIR. Agnew Says.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept, 22.-Dr. Agnew,
who has returned to his country seat at
Haverford, Pa, says: The Presidents case
was one in which from the first there was
very little hope, and the autopsy should be
satisfactory as settling the public mind at
rest upon the point. The penetration OF
the spine by the ball, and the scattering OF
small slivers of bone, wounding the sur
rounding tissues, would sufficiently ac-
count for the subsequent septic condition
which, with the injury to the vertebra.
was the inevitable cause of that train OF
sequences which resulted in the bursting
OF the mesentric artery and the ensuing
fatal hemorrhage.
DR.. Agnew was asked if he was disposed
to make any explanation relative to the
charge in one of the newspapers that the
diagnosis had been incorrect from the be-
ginning, and that the consulting surgeons
| had ann-k1 - ;n1OrCnI - thrnunh
courtesy. His reply was, 81 would refer
those who may crow at any such statement
to thei individual who originally furnished
the information to the public press"
