pool OF blood. One of his, bands had
been blown of3, and he was otherwise
injured. NodouSt is entertained that he
is the victim OF his own crime. He
was taken to'the hospital under arrest,
and at last reports had NOT regained
consciousness.

Tho presence of the Prince of Wales
in this city yesterday had great fleet
