Therefore, your committee conclude to

upon evidence which accompanies this re-
port, the only substantial irreeularity that
existed in the conduct of any officer of the
United States or agent of the President,
during or since the time of the revolution
of 1898. was that of Minister Stevens in

him. A struggle enSued, during which the
burglar fired two shots, one of which killed
Whitman. The autopsy showed that he
was killed by ball the same size as in
Thorne's revolver. The others fired were
larger. Thorne has confessed that he was
this burglar and used Lis revolver that

the one found in the body. The course Of
the ball in the body was at an angle of 80
degrees downward and was the sole cause
of death. The course Of the ball indicated
that it was fired from an elevation above
