On the morrow the murder was out.

come very much inilammed and was seriously
complicating the case, and the stomach was re.
bellious causing the gravest anxiety to- prevail.
II was plain during the two days following that
General Garfield had lost strength and every dny
that q retrograde movement was made was ex-
tremely critical in the stage of the case. On
Wednesday, the 2iih DR. Agnew was SUNNI oned
by telegraph, aud arrived here ut 0.3O in the
evening. When he reached the White House
every member of the Cabinet was there, and
conference was held which lasted until midnight,

Still no uneasiness was felt, and 1t was believed
that the President was in a better condition than
