 WASHINGTON, July l.-The Physlelans who performed the uutoply are Drs- D. C. Lamb, J. T Hartigan and Z- Tower. c. A. Klaoschmidt, J. R. Hanger, John ". Guiteau and Rev. Dr. Hicks were present for a short tlme- 4 close examination of the body showed that Guiteau's neck was broken and the rope cut deep gash into the hesh- The body was removed and laid upon the table. Scales and other appliances to determine weight and other phenomena of different points of the body were placed about on tables. The three surgeons engaged in the autopsy were watched with great interest by other medical gentlemen who crowded about the table. After the heexamination the eyes and brain were removed to be inspected
 Dr. A. B. Corng found the left eye completely suffused with blood and both eyes so indistinct that DO opinion could be formed as to their condition or ex- pression. Then the body was cut open and a thorough examination made with view to determine all the physiological facts that could be ofinterest in connec- ton with the case. The braIn was found to be in q normal condition and weighed forty .s ounces. The heart weighed aittB,sser9 ounces and was in healthy Andk ion as were other in- ternal organs. At 3:l5 the autopsy ad- journed until evening. The physicians were disinclined to go into details Tn regard to the results thus far reach ed. Dr. Hartigan left the jail soon after 3 o'clock, taking with him Gui- teau's brain. Dr. Geddiogs, who has maintained that Guiteau was insane, when asked what was the result of the of the autopsy, said, "I have nothing to say now" All the physicians are agreed that there were lymphal on the brain and q hardening of the dura mat | ter. None of them care to express a positive opinion until after the examina- | tion has been completed. Dr. Hartigan, who has custody Of Guiteau's brain, took | it to the Army Medical Museum. where, in a room set apart for photographic ! purposes, number of surgeons and pnyscians had assembled to continue the autopsy. It had been the intention of the surgeons to begin by mak- ! ing plaster casts of the brain, with a view to the permanent preservation in that form of its confguration and ex- ternal character, but the organ was found so soft and yielding us to render this an impossibility. A resort will therefore be | had to photographic art. On account of ! the lateness of the hour and a dull and overcast sky, the preparations were ! necessarily hurried, and after placing the brain on a mass of curled hair, dis | posing it in the form which 1t had beer in during life. number of negatives were taken from various points of view, with more or less successful results, | Anatomical examination was re- sumed. This examination which will include a careful microscopic study of the tissues and structural characteristics of the organ. certainly will be finished before tomorrow D. m. and may occupy sev' eral days. The surgeons and physicians participating in the autopsy have pledg- ed themselves not to make publi. in the meantime any indivIdua conclusions they may arrive al in order tbat the official report wher made may have full force and value. as f,sr.,s-lIUaas rItc cunu4ussoa.s o- aii s'l' examining physicians.
 The neck was not dislocated or frac tured as the surgeons at first supposed but there was rupture of the stern, leido nastoid muscle on both sides ai well as on the thyropisid membrane Death resulted from sufiocation. Ssv
