that entered his body, but without success.
A DIR. Weisse of New York has been firing
bullets into the cadaver of what may have
been an honest and respectable @ciizen,
hoping by his experiments 10 throw some
light on the hiding place of the ball that 50
nearly proved fatal 10 the President. These
experiments amount 10 this that possibly
the ball FROM Guitfau's bulldog crossed
the anterior surface of the quadratus lum-
borum muscle, wounded the lilo hyPOgastic
and lilo inguinal nerves, reached the s%uvses
Of the iiacus cxternus muscle, passed close
