THE Law IN THE CASE
Mr.. Williams said that Mr.. Ward was charged
with assault and battery with intent 10 kin,
which is a bailable offense. The statute upon
the subject, he said, is explicit. He read the
statute, as follows;
Bail shall be taken in all cases where the
penalty ia not death"
bail, said that bail 10 only refused in cases
where dissolution Is Immediately impending.
In this case, he said, the testimony of the
physician was not that death was imme-
diateiy impending. Death, he said, was
supposed to be imminent soon after the shoot
weeks. The statute, he said, reduced the sup
posed offense after the expiration Of year
and one day. "Has Ward got to remain in Jail

ADLER's RAPID PULsA 2
The general condition-physicala and mental
of Maurice Adler is q little more enfeebled,
perhaps, today than 1t has been ct any time
since Ward shot him. There vas NO general
consultation over his case this morning a. had
been expected, but DR.. J. W. Rayne examined
the wounded man very carefully and found no

ing at 100 $40 degrees, but the puiSe
had jumped to an alarming speed, beating away
at the rate of 1856 to the minute and much
weaker than it was last night at 1872. The
present speed is the highest in the history Of
on the 4th instant to its present figure. The
respiration also took queer and inexplicable
jump from the vicinity OF Ia. where il has been
steady Tor some time, up to ~ last night What
Interpretations were this morning could rot be
stated because Of his continuous restlessness.
Last night was a very poor one FOR Adler, and
today, for the first time in nearly two weeks,
he complained Of pain in his arms and iegs.
THE SORENESS OF THE PATIENTS HAD
bothers the patient and the doctors not little,
He complains no matter how IL ID placed on the
yielding air pillow, and he has queer fanciss
concerning il. This morning he imagined Il
was in two pieces, and after DR.. Wagner had
placed it with the right side down Adler asked
to have the left side placed on the pillow also
without disturbing the right side in any way; in
other words he wanted both sides Of his face TO
be resting on the pillow at ono time. Az
general thing Adler, whom not sleepy, Is in 8
more or less delireus condition, but he still
possesses the power necessary TO concentrate
his mind. This power he exercises when any
one speaks TO him or when anyone moves In or
out OF the room. When aroused he can carry
on . connected conversation on any subject,
but as soon 40 the discussion ceases his mind
at once recommends its wanderings.
