NOT OUT OF DANGER.
MIR. Taulbee's Condition-The Ball Lo-
Gated, But Not Removed.


Ex-Representative Taulbee's condition has
not been favorable for the past twenty-four
hours He has had more fever and has suf-
fered loss of strength. An operation was per-
formed today and the ball located. but not re-
moved. During the operation the patient was
under the influence of anesthetics. 1t was
found that the ball. after striking the bone. had
glanced downward, passing close to some large
arteries and was now located in the back part
of the throat behind the larynx. 1t was decided
that the ball could do NO harm in its present
position and no further effort will be made to
remove it until the patient gains strength.
DIR. Bayne said to STAR reporter that it was
mistake to say that the wound was not dan
gerous. 1T is, he said, "a very dangerous
wound l think there is a good chance Of his
ultimate recovery, yet it is a very dangerous
wound and he is by no means out Of danger. l
have not given any certificate saying that he
was out of danger; said merely that he had Q
good chance OF recovery ultimately. For the
past twenty-four hours he has had fever and
his condition is less favorable" The doctor
said further that he expected the patient to re-
cover.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE OPERATION.
Mr.. Taulbee was placed under the influence
of ether this morning at Providence hospital
and a thorough examination made of his
wound. The ball was located in the pharynx,
just behind the soft palate. Owing to the
condition of the patient the removal of the
ball was temporarily deferred.
There were present Drs. Bayne, Taulbee Of
Kentucky, brother of the patient; Luce, NAL
Ian, Frederick, Yoder of the House and Hamil-
ton. The surgeons do not express any opinion
as to the ultimate result of the wound but it is
believed to be favorable. The ball entered the
left temple and travelled downward
TAULBEE's CONDITION UNCHANGED THIS AFTER
NOON.
1t was stated by the attendants at Providence
hospital this afternoon that the condition of
ex-Representative Taulbee was substantial
unchanged.
HE WILL NOT PROSECUTE KINCAID.
One of the doctors who has seen Mr. Taulbee
at the hospital told STAR reporter today that
MIR. Taulbee said he did not intend to prosecute
Judge Kincaid.
1t is un nderstood that Mr. Taulbee has made
his will and prepared tor the worst though his
physicians expect him to recover.
KINcAID RELEASED ON TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
BAIL
Saturday afternoon when the case of Charles
Z. kincaid for shooting ex-Congressman Taul-
bee was called in the Police Court many friends
of the defendant were present to see that bail
was ready i'll case the court decided to accept
poHus UuueT tue law Dali cOuld not De given
unless the matter went out OF the jurisdiction
of the Police Court, and the only way in which
that could be done was to waive examlna-
ton and let the case go to the grand jury.
Judge Miller was on the bench soon after 8
O'Clock Mr.. G. Maurice Smith was present
with Mr.. kincaid and Assistant District Attor-
ney Armes represented the government
Mr. Armes called Judge Mlller's attention to
the case, and the judge inquired whether there
was any warrant in the case or not.
A CHARGE OF ASSAULT WITH INTENT TO KILL
Mr. Armes said there was, and produced the
warrant, which charged Mr.. Kincaid with as
sault and battery with intent to kill.
Mr. Smith said he was ready to waive an ex-
animation. The doctors, he said, had stated
that Mr.. Taulbee would recover, and he there
fore suggested that $4,000 would be enough
bail in the case.
Judge Miller asked the prosecuting attorney
concerning the condition Of the wounded man
and the amount of bail he would ask
Mr. Armes corroborated what Mr.. Smith had
said and stated that $4,000 would be satisfac-
tory to the government. He had no certificate
from the physicians to show the exact condi-
ton of MIR. Taulbee.
THE BAIL FIXED AT $4,000.
Judge Miller thereupon sent the case to the
grand jury and fixed bail at the amount already
stated.
Mr.. Smith said he expected Gen. Boynton
and Col. Won Stomp to 90 ON Mr.. Kincaid's
bond Col Won Stomp was present but Gen.
Boynton had not arrived
The judge suggested that Col Won Stomp be
examined as to his qualifications to GO on the
bond. When sworn he told Judge Miller that
he was worth $4,000. The court said that
there was no use in waiting for another bonds
man and Col. Won Stomp entered into 50 900 re-
cognizance for Mr.. Kincaid's release.
MIR. Taulbee's son arrived in this city Satur-
day night from Kentucky and was soon at his
fathers bedside. 1t is thought by many per-
sons that the case will never come to trial in
the Criminal Court Mr.. kincaid is in receipt
OF telegrams from leading members of the Ken
lucky bar Offering legal services Among those
from whom kilograms were received are Judge
Durham. Jas. Givens of Louisville, Col Davis
OF the same city and others
