THE CAUSE or DEATH.
An autopsy was held on the remains
lon Tuesday which showed that the
wound was necessarily fatal one and
THAT the Presidents life was only pro-
|longed by the excellent care and hurs-
ling he had. The following is the Off
lcial report of the autopsey:
The following official bulletin was
prepared on Tuesday night by tic
Surgeons who have been in attendance
/ upon the late PRESIDENT: BY previous
the postmortem eXamin-
|ation of the body of President Garfield
! was made this afternoon, in the. pre-.
1scncc aud with the assistance of Drs
Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes
Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew II
Smith of Elberon, and acting Assistant
Surgeon Lamb OF the army medical
museum at Washington. The opera
3tion was performed by DR.. Lamb. II
/ was found that the ball, after fractur
ling the right eleventh rib, had passed
Through the spinal column in front OF
tho spinal canal, fracturing the body Of
2thc first lumbar vertebra, driving {
plumber ofsmall fragments of bone into
Bthc adjacent soft parts and lodging just
below the pancreas, about two and {
5half inches to the left of the spine and
behind the peritoneum, where it had
become completely encysted. The inn
mediate cause of death was secondary
.hcmorrhagc from one of The mcsenterit
ARTERIES adjoining the track to the ball
the blood rupturing the pcritoneum
land nearly pint escaping into the alb.
5dominal cavity. This hcmorrhagc i:
! believed to have been the cause Of III.
severe pain in the lower part of tho
chest complained OF just before death
An abscess cavity, six inches by foul
lin dimensions, was found in the vicinity
4 of the gall bladder between the liver
land the transverse colon, which were
strongly interadherent. 1t did not in
lvolve the substance of the liver, and nc
was found between il
land the wound. A long suppuratine
9channel extended from the extremity OF
1.-THE wound between the loin muscles
land right kidney almost TO the right
groin. This channel, which is now
known to be due to the burrowing OF
|pus from the wound, was supposed dur.
ling life to have been the track of the
Iball. On examination OF the organs OF
1.-The chest, evidences of severe bro ichi
tits were found on both sides, with
|broncho-pneumoma of the lower por.
|tions of the right lung and, though to q
much less extent, of the left. The lung
no abscess and the heart ne
iclots. The liver was enlarge d and fatty
|but free from abscess; nor were any
!other organs except the left kidney
(which contained near its surface q
small abscess about third of an inch
lin diameter. In reviewing the history
Iof the. case in connection with the
autopsy, ii is clearly evident that the
different suppurating surfaces, and es-
|prcially the fractured spongy tissue OF
1.-The vertebra, furnish sufficient cxplana-
lion of the septic condition which ex-
listed. (Signed), Drs. ID. w. Bliss, j. X

and properly sealed it for preservation
until the courts require its production.
