is doing nicely, and unless something
now unlocked for occurs, the patient
will be up and about in few days.
There is much more anxiety in the
family over Mrs. Fricks condition than
her husband. She became a mother
twelve days ago, and has been in weak
and nervous condition. Yesterday the
papers were kept from her and she was
given to understand that the affray at
the office was trifing one. This morn
ing, however, she got hold of a news
paper, and the effect Of the whole story
thus given at once was almost disastrous.
OF course she is receiving the most
anxious attention, and the best results
are hoped for.
Mr.. Frick was able this afternoon to
describe to friend more fully than be-
fore his memory of the assault. After
the shots had been fred Bergman still
held his revolver in his right hand,
while with his left hand he drew the
knife. Mr.. freshman held the mad
dened assassin by the right arm, trying
to wrest the knife from him, and Mr..
Frick had clutched his throat, thus the
three men struggled and swayed about
the room, Bergman in the meantime
Justify plying his knife, cutting deep
into his victim upon every opportunity
that the chances and changes of the
struggle gave him. Three OF the
wounds barely missed being fatal.
Alexander Bergman, the prisoner
held for the attempted murder of Mr..
Fricls, was seen in his cell by reporter
Saturday evening. He shows no signs
of excitement and expressed his disap-
pointment when informed of Mr.. Frick's
probable recovery.
What did you shoot him for?" he
was asked.
"What did / shoot him for? That's a
nice question to ask. Do you know any
I person in this world who is the better or
the happier for his having livedP can
find you thousands whom he has made
miserable. Out in Homestead people
will soon be suffering the pangs of hun
ger. Whose fault is il? Mr.. Fricks.
Thousands of strong, healthy men are
now idle because they cannot return Ia
work without sacrificing their self re-
spect and whose fault is it? Mr. FriclSs.
Six worlSingmen were buried here last
week. Who killed them? Mr.. Frick,
Does such man deserve TO live? Oi
what good is he in the world? He Is q
dog and should die. wanted TO kill
him and am ready TO die for it."
DO you live in Pittsburgh?"
"Oh, no; simply came here to Kill
Fricl. 1t was not an accident have
no hesitation in telling you this. 1t did
not come into my head all in one in
slant. l thought over it long time
and said to myself: If | kill Fricl

ofdollars will be spent TO find me, anC

years to find me- No, could not es

and would be stopped and may be killed

am very sorry now that made bungl,
of my job, as my life will probably b,
wasted.

such expressions as: "Pitv it didn't Kill
the d-d rascal" Served him right
and That's good news" were heard
One man said: "That fellow should b,
shot for not making clean job of it.
An old man, whose hair and beard wer,
plentifully sprinkled with gray, wavet
his hat about his head and shouted
GLORY TO God" But to the credit o
