finding pair of pants with spots of blood on
them, owned by Wallace Chadbourne. Wal
lace told him he did not know how the blood
could get on them. The deputy sheriff, Otis
Martin, produced pair Of pants and drawers

dirk knife found in the house. Before being
found Mrs Chadbourne told him Wallace had
traded it off. There was gritty dust on the
knife
H. Ell. Warren testified that Wallace Chad
bournes wife became very much excited when
the officers asked them to produce the dirk
knife. Other witnesses corroborated the test-
mony as to finjing the dirk, and the appear
ance and statements of the Chadbournes at
the time.
Doctors Thompson and Buck described the
wounds on the body and their extent. there
being no less than eight that we're fatal.
There were two classes of wounds showing
what instruments were used. The large dirk
would make wounds similar to those four in

such as were found on other parts of the body.
Many witnesses testified to seeing blood spatters
on the ear of Benjamin Chadbourne the morn
ing after the tragedy. Testimony was offered
as to threats made by Wallace against Watson.
In response to questions put by Attorney

stance OF such peculiar properties that when

render its recognition difficult. The properties
of blood and tests for blood with the micro
scope, spectroscope and chemical reagents
were described and blood corpuscles from the
veins of the witness were exhibited to the
Jury by meansof a powerful microscope. Tes-
timony was then given as to recognizing blood

hands on clothing which impressions were
made during the murderous attack on Watson.

Further Comments Of the New York

NEW York, Sept. 2S.-The Post says Presi-
dent .Arthur's inaugural address was in all
respects what the occasion called for. II was
brief because having declared with sufficient
explicitness his intention to adopt the ideas SO

poljcy 10 sketch and his tribute to the memory
of the deceased President was as respectful
and sympathetic as anyone could desire.
The Graphic says that the good opinion OF
the Ecountry which Gen. Arthur's course
during the illness of Gen. Garfield has de-
served and won for him will be strengthened
by his inaugural address. Tine under current
of the address is that the new President Will

THE SURGICAL TREATMENT.
Opinions of the London Lancet.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Lancet, discussing
the case of Gen. Garfield, says the bullet did
not wound any vital point in its path, and had
the Isinuous wound it made closed up, all
would have been well, but the wound did not
heal because its walls were bruised and so in
jured that primary union was impossible.
The retention of pent-up and putrid matter in
septic poison and death. 1t may be regarded
as an open question how far successful an at
tempt to render the wound anti-septic might
have been. 1t would be unjust to blame the
surgeons, and it is matter of congratulation
sire to extract the bullet, which had done no
harm since it once reached its resting place
near the pancreas, and its extraction per Sc
would not have influenced at all the sub
sequent course of the case.

past ii this morning, two closed carriages drove
up to the east lower entrance of the Senate
wing AID the occupants passed up the private
stairway to the Vice Presidents room. All
of the corridors and passage-ways upon the

given by the Senate Sergeant alarms to en-
ployes and capitol police to keep themselves
completely hidden in recesses of the doors and
windows while Mrs Garfield passed through
to the rotunda The rotunda itself was entire
ly cleared, the guard of honor retiring from
view for the time being In few minutes the
little possession emerged from the Vice Presi-
dents room and passing around through the
east end corridor proceeded in the following
order:
Sergeant-at-arms Bright, leading. Then
followed Mrs. Garfield, leaning upon the arm
of General Swain, Harry Garfield, Mollie
Garfield and Miss Rockwell. Colonel and Mrs.
Rockwell and Attorney General McVeagh and
Mrs. Swain.
Not sound was heard save the soft patter-
ing of the feet upon the marble floor, as the
little company. robed in garments of deepest
mourning, passed silently on to mingle their
tears and pay the last earthly tribute over the
casket which concealed from view the form
and features of the dearly loved husband,
father and friend.
After remaining about 20 minute in the
rotunda, they returned quietly and with the
same privacy entered the carriages and re-
turned to the residence of the Attorney Gen.
eral.
