Especial Telegram to the Globe
| CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-At the time of the
shooting of Officer Patrick Mulvahill by
the desperado, Bill Allen, the physicians. in
the case found half of the ball Embedded in
the cavity over the left eye, and it was sup
posed they had removed all that had en-
tered the wound. In view of this theory,
it was announced that the wound was not
dangerous and that the officer would soon
be able to go on duty again. These hopes,
however, have been dispelled by the con-
dition of Officer Mulvahill during the last
two or three days. Instead of healing the
wound has continued to swell and grow
worse and the wounded man
has suffered intense paid. Yesterday
Drs. Lee and Tenger performed second
operation, and made the startling discov-
cry that the skull was fractured. Two
pieces of the splintered ball were found
Immediately back of the eye ball, and two
pieces of bone were extracted at the same
time. The condition Of the wounded Off
Ger is very critical, and no one is permitted
| to see hi m. He still retns conscious
ness, but slight hopes are now entertained
of his recovery.
The inquest on the body of Clarence E
Wright, the Office killed by Bill Allen on
the night of Nov. 90, developed nothing
new regarding the tragedy. The jury re-
turned q verdict in accordance with the
facts. At the inquest on the body
of Bill Allen, the verdict was that he came
to his death from gun shot wound at the
hands of Officers John Wheeler and John
Reid in the discharge of their duty, and
exonerated the officers from all blame.
William James, the car porter, who first
fell under a blow from Allen, died at the
County hospital Saturday, from the effects
of Aliens blow.
