Mr.. Frick secured several hours sleep. ate
the slight breakfast with relish. and then fell
asleep until about noon. During this time
there were many callers ut the house,
where tho brothers OF Mrs. Frck
received them and informed them OF
tho condition OF Mr.. Frick. About o'clock
DR.. LitchAcld dressed the outs made by Berk-
mans dagger. There are no less than six o
those cuts Of greater or lesser degree. In ad.
dition to the two serious ones on the
right side. there was deep one
in the calf OF the left leg which
was not discovered till Mr.. Frick was IN.
dressed at home. This wound was made. Mr..
Frick thought. whom he tried to force Berk-
man against the wall while he tried to dissrm
him. Besides this there are two long cuts ON
the upper part Of the left leg and slight out
on tho right hip.
To those with whom he talked. Mr.. Frick
said Berkman's knife was hold in his loft
hand. His right hand held the revolver and
was grasped by Mr.. Leishmann while
Mr. Frick cutched Berkman's throat and
body. That left hand was piled busily BY
the Anarchist. and II the knife had been
sharper the wounds would have probably
caused death. AS 1t Is there Is cause for
hearty congratulation. for half IN inch differ.
ence in the location Of any ono OF the four
principal wounds would In all probability
have led to death.
The ball which passed around the neck al.
most grazed the spinal cord. That which passed
out on the side almost touched the spine.
The upper cut on the right side would have
penetrated the lung but for the edge Of tho
ninth rib. and half an inch more deep would
have carried the large lower out into the abb
domnal cavity. 1t was regarded as astound-
ing that this should DO true Of so many wounds.
DIR. Litchileld has profound admiration for
the self-contro! and courage OF his patient.
He says there was scarcely any result from
what the medical mon call shook" no sud-
den fall Of temperature or cold sweat This 10
what the Doctor said to callers during the
afternoon:
Mr.. Frick IL doing we'll There II danger
from the secondary eGect OF tho wounds and
there viii! be for a week. He has SO far di
gestcd his food we'll and is doing well and
have strong hopes he will recover"
During the afternoon Mr.. Lashmann called.
and was admitted for q short time to Mr..
Frick's room. The latter was anxious to know
what was new in the labor complications,
and also something regarding Berkman.
short timo after this Mr.. Prick
sent for the newspapers which were
read to him. AS he lay on his sofa In the
Office on Saturday afternoon he asked for the
extra editions of the afternoon papers. and
read them in part to SEQ what was said Of
Berkman.
Tho physicians remon strated and told him
it was exciting him and causing his tempera-
ture TO rise. He laughed and replied: TT will
not hurt mo: this is very interesting reading"
TO quote DIR. Litchaeld agaiut
Not ono man In thousands could have
taken this affair as Mr. Frick las done. He
has shown marvellous control. In reality tho
course Of his thoughts were merely interrupt
ed for about three minutes. while he was
highly excited by tho actual struggle with his
assailant When no was placed on his sofa
and the man was under arrest, no resumed
the current OF thought no had dropped, took
up his affairs just whero he had been when in
terruptod.
In speaking Of nerkman yesterday, Mr..
Frick said: 1T is singular this man Did not
