the shock to the nervous system. Yet
ne passed good day. notwithstanding
the fact that it WAS the most swelter,ng
one of the season, and tonight he Is

few close intimate friends were ad-
mitted to see him today owing TO
the desire of the family 70 he aione'ss
much as possible in their affilction. For
the same reason the telephone WAS dis
connected. This Was given out by
those who had charge OF the door. One
or another Of the physlcians Was IN
constant attendance during the day
aud the injured mans wounds were
frequently dressed. The medical men
this morning were gratified TO find that
80 far there were no indications for in
fiammation or blood poisoning and the
same conditions prevailed throughout
the day.
He Will Pull Through.
At no time since the shooting has the
wounded man lost CONSCIOUSNESS from
pain, and when not doing today he
talked freely and apparently with no
effort to those about HIM. The sur
geons will not say tonight that he il
absolutely out of danger, as it will be
serverai DAYS before the crisis will be
regarded as being safely passed. but at
the same time they are free to
express the opinion that if the indica-
tions Of the past twanty-four hours
count for anything, ne will not only
pull through, but in halt the time u.s.
ually accorded to such by the medical
JURISPRUDENCE. There has been aud is
good deal of talk and speculation.
Mr.. Frick on his back tomorrow will

Berkman In His Cell.
The would be murderer, Alexander
Berkmau, spent last night IN cell No.
of tho central station, and. awakening
bright and early, asked for some break
last. particularly requesting that 1t
should include some eggs. A good
meal was given him, and after oltan-
| ing the plates he put on a clean laun-
dered shirt. n stand-up collar and hight
tie, then he LIT cigarette and for
the rest of the day one of those vile
connections was not out OF his mouti,
more than . few minutes st . time.
One of his first questions to the guard
Was concerning the condition of Mr..
Frick; and when told that be was doing
very we'll, shrugged his shoulders and
said that he had nothing to say.
Presently he asked what the people
laying stress upon the point that he did
not mean the papers, thought of the
affair. On being told it was the gen.
eral opinion that he had 70 ground for
his action, he replied energetically:
