PLAYING PossUM,
When this paper went TO press last
night Charles Hawkins, the victim of his
own rash act, lay on the floor in q room
In the south side of the house. His form
quivered almost constantly and IL was
thought that his time was short.
DR.. t. II. bandor who had been called
by Coroner Openhimer as soon as he saw
that Hawkins was not dead, was in attend
ance on him and endeavored to admins
ter a stlmulant, but with no effect.
Hawkins lay as one dying, but IL now is
apparent that he has totally conscious and
knew all that was going on. He revived
somewhat at about o'clock and was
loaded into an ambulance which had been
improvlsed for the occasion and taken to
police heAdquArters. He soon commenced
to show symptoms Of q nature which led
the physician TO believe that there were
chances for recovery, A careful examin-
alton was made when Il was found that
there was o bullet hole over the region of
the heart. The hall had struck rib and
olanced around the heart. making merely
a aesh wound,
There vss a hole In the back of the neck
where another hall had entered. An ugly
oash in the throat showed where he had
stten,ptsd "a asyor his iusular vein with a
cnse knife. and a fractured skull, in the
parietal rsRion gave evidence that he had
i,aed the hatchet with great effect.
He was fiTed up akilifully by DR.. Landor,
and soon opened his eyes and Razed
around. A short time later, about II
O'clock, he was able TO talk, and his testi.
nnopy was taken by Coroner Openhinrer,
