A CONSULTATION OF pHYsICrANs-rHEY HAVE But
LITTLE HOPE OF THE PATIENTS REcovKRY-HI
HIMSELF DOES NOT THINK he WILL LIVE
MIssTATEMENT coRREcTEp.
Ex-Representative Taulbee 10 very much
worse this morning. Very little hope for his
recovery is now entertained. His fever ID
high and he is growing weaker. He has de-
SPARED himself and the doctors are very gloomy
over the case. He told his brother Dr.. .Taul-
bee, this morning that he was sure he was
going to die. His brother tried to cheer him
up and give him courage, but was not success
full.
Drs. Bayne, Friedrich, Hamilton, Yoder and
Taulbee held consultation early this morning
and found the condition of the patient very
unfavorable. Suppuration appeared to have
set in about the ball and it was decided that
the missile would have to be removed il pos
sible. DR.. E. Carroll Morgan, the throat spe-
cialist, was sent for to examine the throat and
remove the ball if possible and another con.
sultation was held at IL o'clock.
MEASUREMENT CORRECTED.
DR.. Taulbee said to STAR reporter that he
was afraid that his brother could not recover
that hts condition was decidedly unfavorable.
He said he wanted to correct the statement
that his brother had said that he would not
prosecute Judge Kincaid. He had never made
that statement, DR.. Taulbee said. What he
had said on the subject was that all he wanted
was that the law should take its own course.
DIR. YoDER HAS NO HOPE OF THE PATIENTS RE-
CovERY.
DR.. Yoder said to q STAR reporter that Mr.
Taulbees throat was swollen as if with diph-
liberia, and the wound was much infamed, az
consequence in part Of the probing yester.
day; that he breathed with great difficulty; his
temperature had run up to 104, and the prob
ability was that he would die.
THE CONSULTATION AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK
There were present at the consultation at II
o'clock Drs. Bayne, Carroll Morgan, Hamilton
and Frederick. A thorough examination was
made and the following statement was subse-
quently given to STAR reporter by Drs. Bayne
and Morgan:
'Ihe condition of the patient is still extremely
critical. We think the ball passed through the
cheek bone and downward in the direction OF
the throat, where, we think, we have approx
mated its location. 1t has, however, been
impossible to locate the ball with that pre-
cision which would render a surgical operation
justifable. The patient, we think, is in NO
danger of dying suddenly; that is, between now
and tomorrow morning"
THE GREAT DANGER TO BE APPREHENDED
in this case, as far as could be learned, were
blood poisoning and assesses. Actual symp-
toms of neither of these have as yet set in,
although the patient is suffering from highly
feverish state, which forebodes no good
DR.. Bayne said to the reporter: II consider
Mr.. Taulbee's condition as extremely danger
GUS, while I have not given up all hope of bis
recovery" The general opinion is that Mr..
Taulbee will die at almost any moment.
THE POLICE NOT INFORMED OF THE CHANGE.
The police had not been advised this after
noon Of the serious change in Mr.. Taulbee's
condition. 1t is usual in such cases for the
officers to be notified of the wounded mans
condition. SO that the person charged with the
assault can be kept under surveillance.
The district attorneys Office had received no
information when a STAR reporter called on
Assistant District Attorney Armes this after
death was likely to ensue. and he learned of il,
he would go to the hospital and take Mr.. Taul-
bees ante norton statement, to be used as
evidence at the trial.

PRosTRATIoN.

he is not attending to his newspaper work. He
0suffering from nervous prostration.

change in the patients condition for the bet
ter, and should death ensue he will promptly
