not survive through the day he was
shot, at last accounts he was not only

hole, prObed for the ball. One-third Of

OF the right eye, embedded i'm the nasal
bone, and it was extracted. 1t was also
discovered that in the track of the ball
the bone had been shattered and twen-
ty-three pieces were taken out. Also
that the optic nerves of the left eve
