PITTsBURG, July 25.- Henry G. Tricks
splendid constitution is standing him in
good stead. Very few men, so say the
doctors, could have survived for many
hours the terrible injuries which he re-
ceived at the hands of the Russian an
archist, to say nothing of the loss of blood
and the shock to the nervous system, Yet
he passed good day yesterday, notwith-
standing the fact that it was the most
swelte,ing one of the season and last night
he was feborted resting easy. There were
many callers at the family mansion every
hour during the day, but only few close
intimates were admitted, owing to the de-
sire of the family to be left alone in their
affection as much as possible. For the
same reason the telephone was disconnec-
ted, and very little information was given
out by those who had charge of the door.
Believe That He Will Pull Through.
One or another of the physicians was in
constant attendance during the day, and
the injured mans wounds were frequently
dressed. The medical men were gratified
yesterday morning to find that there were
no indications of inflammation or blood
poisoning, and the same conditions pre-
vailed throughout the day. At no time
since the shooting has the wounded man
lost consciousness from pain; and when
not doing yesterday he talked freely and
apparently with no effort to those about
him. The surgeons will not say that he
is absolutely out of danger, as it will be
several days before the crisis will be re-
regarded as being safely passed. but at
the same time they are free to express the
opinion that if the indications of the past
twenty -four hours count for anything he
will not only pull through, but that in
half the time usually accorded to such
cases by medical experience.
Medical Aspect of the Case.
Mr. Murdoch gave the following descrip-
ton of the wounds Mr.. Prick received:
zone of the balls entered the left side of
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 downward 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 serious, but do not think any
of them will prove fatal"
Facts of the Murderous Attempt.
The shooting of Henry Clay Frick, man
ager of the Carnegie interests, was one of
those sensational occurrences for which
the teachings of Johann Most and others of
his kind are responsible. The would-be
assassin is a young Russian named Alex
ander Berk mann, compositor of New
York city, who has been in this country
five or six years He had called at Tricks
Office on Friday, but could not obtain an
interview with Frick, as the latter was too
busy. He called again Saturday at 1:30 p.
M, and after waiting a moment walked
into Tricks private office and began shoot
ing at once, without a word. Frick was
alone at the time.
