should supervene, his ultimate recovery
is regarded as certainty. The medical
aspect Of his case was summed up to-
night by DR.. Murdock, one of the at
tending surgeons, and practitioner of
international repute, in this form:
81 am of the opinion that Mr..
Fricks wounds are serious. However l
do not consider them necessarily dan
gerous. One of the balls entered the
left side of the neck and was taken out
on the right side. This ball passed
through the base of the skull The other
ball entered the right side of the neck,
near the base of the skull, took a down
ward course and was lodged under the
left shoulder blade Both of these balls
have been extracted. He also received
two knife wounds, one in the left side of
the stomach and another in the left hip.
/ The wounds in the neck are the most Sc
rious but [ do not think any of them
will prove fatal"
other Attempts to Assass1nate.
The sang .troid exhibited by Mr..
Fr.ck during and after his hand to hand
struggle with the man who sought his
life bordered on the incredible. Hours
after the tragedy, and when the startled
attaches had in measure regained their
equilibrium, they got together and com
pared notes of their recOllections. In
this way it came out for the first time
that the would be assassin came danger
ousiy near shooting Mr.. Leishmaun, vice
chairman of the Carnegie steel company,
and Mr.. Frick's right-h hand supporter.
The vice chairman was the first to rush
into the Office and the crazy Russian i'm
mediately pointed his revolver in his di-
rcction. Iu moment, however, and
Notwithstanding the fact that blood was
flowing in a stream from his pistol
wounds, Mr.. Frick jumped from his
chair, knocked up his arm and then
catching him by the back of the neck
forced him to the floor It was then
that the fellow half turned around,
inflicted the knife wounds. All this
had transpired in a few seconds. One Of
his clerks, who followed close behind Mr.
Leismann, not realizing the situation
of affairs, drew a revolver and was about
to shoot the assailant, when Mr.. Frick
shouted in his usual peremptory tones
''Let that man alone" Berkmann freed
himself Just then and made break for
the elevator, where he was captured. 1t
was six hours to the minute from the
time the first shot was heard to his re-
moval from the blood stained office to
: the ambulance in waiting, and all of this
time, although suffering intense agonies,
while the corps of surgeons examined
and operated upon his wounds, he main
tanned his self possession, and he was in
fact as cool as if nothing had happened
