HIS APPEARANCE
New YORK, Sept. 21.-The Evening
Posts Long Branch special says: The Pres
ident is laid out in the suit of clothes which
he wore on Inauguration day His left
hand is laid across his breast after the
manner he had in life. This was done in
order to make his resemblance as near to
life as possible The body is so
GREATLY sHRUNKEN
that artificial means had to be restored to
give the clothes an appearance of fitting.
In addition to the natural shrinking from
his illness the operation connected with
the autopsy has left his body even more
emaciated than usual. a plaster cast of
his face was taken yesterday, as we'll as of
his right hand. In taking the cast of his
hand it was somewhat discolored, so that
his hand win not be seenss The effect of
the oil used upon his face prior to the tax
ing of the cast disfgured his features
somewhat, and slightly altered the color of
his face, so that the appearance is very
death.

LAST OFFICIAL BULLETIN
The following official bulletin was pre-
pared tonight at II o'clock by the sur
geons in attendance.
By previous arrangement post mortem
examination of the body of President Gar
field was made this afternoon in the pres
ence and with the assistance of Drs. Ham
ilton, AgEew, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward
and Reyburn, Anderson Smith of Elberon,
and Acting Assistant Surgeon d. S. Lamb,

Lamb 1t was found that the hall after
fracturing the eleventh rib, had passed
through the spinal column in front frac-
turing the body of the first lumbar verte-
brae, driving number of small fragments
of bone into the adjacent soft parts
and lodging just below the pancreas about
29 inches left of the spine and behind the
peritonium, where it had become complete
ly encysted. The immediate cause of death
was secondary hemorrhage from one OF
the mesenteric arteries adjoining the track
of the ball Blood ruptured the peritonium
and nearly pint escaped into the abdorni-
nal cavity This hemorrhage is believed
to have been the cause of severe pain in
the lower part of the chest complained of
! just before death. An abscess cavity SIX
inches by four in dimension was found in
the vicinity of the gall and bladder, be-
tween the liver and transverse colon, which
were strongly interadherent. 1t did not in
volve thessubstance of the liver and no
communication was found between it and
the wound. A long suppuration channel
extended from the external wound be-
ney, almost to the right groin.
