TRICKS CONDITION.
Chairman Henry c. Frick of the Car
negie Company did not come down to his
office this morning. as he jokingly as
sured his associates that he would when
he was carried to the ambulance on
Saturday night.
Reporrs from his home this morning
were to the effect that he passed a
restful night. despite the closeness OF
the atmosphere. His extraordinary
vitality was strickingly demonstrated
yesterday. for, although it was the
hottest day that Pittsburg has expert
enced in nearly ten years. his wounds
gave him apparently little trouble, while
mentally he was bright and active. Ills
wounds were dressed this morning.
There was not the faintest trace of
blood poisoning or any greater amount of
Inflammation than would be expected
under the circumstances. The result of
the examination was decidedly encourag-
ing, both to shis surgeons and their pa
tient.
After the examination, Mr.. Frick asked
for the morning papers, and read with
interest the accounts of the would-be
assassin during Sunday. and the inter
views had with him.
Unless blood poisoning or some other
unlooked-for development should super
yene. the doctors believe that Mr..
Frick will improve rapidly and
recover completely. They are par
ticularly concerned about the gashes on
knee, which were made by the assailant's
Knife. These almost severed the tendons.
and will occasion great pain at intervals
for many weeks to come.
A SPECIALIST SENT FOR.
This morning, however, a reply was re-
ceived that the specialist in question, but
whose name the surgeons would not give,
had gone to California, and thereupon it
was decided to seek the aid of another
noted surgeon, who is at present in
Washington.
Although the surgeons, who take turns
in attending upon tbs wounded man in
clude the most eminent skill In che city,
it was decided last night to telegraph to
an eminent New York specialist, asking
him to come here at once and make a
personal examination of the patient,
The fact has come out that on Saturday
Mr.. Frick received in his morning mail q
letter which informed him that he would
die before the next day.
He passed 1t over to one of his associ-
ates with joking renark:-"I have but
twenty-four hours to Kve" Afterwarti
he placed the nissive in one of the pigeon
holes IN his desk. He referred to the
matter last night and today is is being
Investigated. II is not thought, how
ever. to have any connection with Berk-
mans action.
The would-he assassin was quietly taken
last night from Central Station to the
County Jail, where he will remain until
his trial in September. He was booked
for felonious assault, the maximum PEN
atty for which is but seven years, but
other charges are to be added.
