Especial to the SENTINEL

ELBERoN, Sept. 21.-The following Off
cial bulletin was issued at IL o'clock last
night by the surgeons who have been in
attendance By previous arrangement the
post-mortem examination of the body OF
President Garfield was made this afternoon
in the presence and with the assistance Of
Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes,
Woodward, Reyburn, and Andrew H.
Smith of Elberon, and acting Assistant
Surgeon D. Lamb of the Army Medical
Museum at Washington. The operation
was performed by DIR. Lamb. 1t was
found that the ball. after fracturing the
right eleventh rib, had passed through the
spinal column in front of the spinal canal,
f~racturing q body Of the first lumbar YER
tebr@, driving a number of small frag-
ments of bones into adjacent soft parts,
and lodging just below the pancreas, and
about two and half inches to the left of
the spine and behind the peritoneum,
where it had been completely encysted.
The cause OF death was secondary hemor-
rhage from one Of the mesenteric arteries
adjoining the track of the ball, the blood
rupturing the peritoneum and nearly a
pint escaping into its abdominal cavity.
Hemorrhage is believed to have been the
cause of the severe pain in the lower part
OF the chest he complained of just before
death. An abscess cavity six inches by
four in dimensions was found in the vicin-
ity of the gall bladder, between the liver
and transverse colon, which were strongly
inter-adherent, involving substance Of the
liver, and no communication was found

puration channel extended from the exter-
nal wound, between the loin muscles and
right kidney, almost to the right groin.
This channel, which is now known to be
due to the burrowing Of the pus from the
wound, was supposed during life to be the
track of the ball. On an examination of
the organs Of the chest, evidences OF severe
bronchitis were found on both sides, with
broncho-pneumonia of the lower portions
OF the right lung, and, though to a much
less extent, of the left. The lungs con-
tanned M assesses and the heart no clots.
The liver was enlarged and fatty, but free
from assesses nor were any found in any
other organ except the left kidney, which
contained near its surface a small abscess
about one-third Of an inch in diameter.
In reviewing the historyo 81 the case in con-
nection with the autopsy, ii Ia quite evil
SAe eA@ SdPPdA1tia6 bukAdtCb,
and especially a fractured spongy tissue Of
the vertebr@, furnish a sufficient explana-
ton OF the septic condition which existed.
The point Of the ball was somewhat
blunted, caused by the force with which II
struck the rib, while in other respects Its
shape was not altered.
DR.. Bliss took charge Of the bullet and
sealed it for preservation until the courts
should require its production.
The State Of New Jersey has issued o
permit for the removal Of the body. Mrs.
Garfield is much relieved since the autopsy,
inasmuch as it resulted in establishing the
fact that the Presidents death was In.
evitable.

New YORK, Sept. 81. - The London
