quest tonight over the body of Judge

THE AUTOPSY.
An autopsy held this afternoon
showed that the wound was a little be-
low the level of the nipple, one inch to
the left of the median line. The course
of the bullet was traced, and it was
found that it went between the fifth and
sixth ribs, cutting the edge of the sterum
on the lett side, penetrating the
pericardium. The bullet passed
through the right ventricle Of
the heart, perforated the disphram,
and passing down through the edge of
the right lobe of the liver, went down to
the right of the spinal column, about the
tenth dorsal vertebra, shattering the
body of the vertebra and imbeddipg itself
in the bone. Another slight wound in
the upper edge of the left ear is supposed
to have been caused by the second bull
let. Ali the organs were healthy, ex-
cept the lungs, which were slightly con-
gested.

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL SPEAKS.
| INDIANAPOLIS, August 14.-Attorney
General Miller was found at his home
and asked concerning the command
which he was quoted as having made to
the Marshal at San Francisco. "It was
given OUT" said he, "under my direc-
tion. There was danger that Judge
| Terry, who was stated TO be
a violent and desperate man, would very
likely make deadly assault upon Judge
Field and Judge Sawyer, one or both OF
them, and that come precautions ought
to be taken in the premises. | therefore
called the attention of the Marshal OF
that District to these statements, and told
him that it was due to the country and
the courts that precautions should be
taken to keep the peace and protect the
courts and Judges in the discharge Of
| their duties"
