President LincoIn,s Wound.

ltrom the washington Post
One of the assistants to Chief Clerk
Sylvester of the Metropolitan police de-
psrtment lie Harry P. Cattell, who has
charge Of the property room. In his
younger days Mr.. Cattell WAS an embalm-
er. On Saturday, April Is. q few hours
after the death of the president, Mr.. Cat
tell was directed to 60 to the Executive
Mansion and embslm the body.
1t Is nearly thirty years since the assss-
sination which excited such profound hor-
TOR in all civilized portions of the globe,
and, while every reader knows how the
bsloved chief executive met bis death,
comparatively few people of this genera
ton know just where the fatal bullet en- =
tered his body or what course it took. MI.
Cattell showed q reporter q verbatim copy
of the original report, written by an as
s'stant to Surgeon General Barnes, who
made the autopsy. The following Is an
exact copy:
Yesterday Surgeon. General Barnes, as
sisted by Drs. Stone, the late presidents
family physician, Curtis, Woodward,
Crane, Taft and other eminent medical
men, made an autopsy In the presence of
PRESIDENT johnson, General Augur and
General Ruoker. The external appearance
of the face of the president presented q
deep black stain around both eyes. The
fatal won d was on the left side Of the
head behind, and in line with and three
inches from the left ear. The course of
the ball was obliquely forward toward the
right eye, crossing the brain In an oblique
manner and lodging few inches behind
that eye. In the track of the wound were
found fragments of bone, which had been
driven forward by the ball, which was
embedded In the anterior lobe of the left
hemisphere of the brain. The orbit plates
of both syes were the ssat of oomminuted
fracture, and the eyes were filled with ex.
trsvsssted blood. The serious injury of
the orbit plates was due to the center
coup, the result of the intense shock of 90
large q projsctile fired 90 closely to the
head. The ball was evidently Dsrringer,
hsnd-cast, and from which the neck had
been clipped. A shaving of lead had been
removed from the ball in its passage
through the bones of the skull, and was
found in the oriice of the wound. The
first fragment of bone was found two and
one half inches within the brain; the Sec
opd and larger fragment about four inches
from the orifice of the wound. The ball
lay further in advance. The wound was
about ons-hslf inoh in diameter. The su-
topsy confirmed the opinion of the sur
geops on the night of the assassination
that the wound was mortal"

WAITING FOR THAT VETO.
The President has acquired reputation
for dead ducks, and 1t is earnestly hoped
that he win add to his ecore the bill to
coin vacuum. But he delays to display
his skill, and there are unpleasant rumora
that he will not mako dead duck of the
bill. Itisexpected that he will do something
or other to-day. Since the bill passed the
senate there has been . free expression of
opinion concerning 1t all over the country,
and 1t is cheering to notice that sound
financial views have SO many powerful and
outspoken supporters in those parts
OF the country where such views
are not supposed to be popular. Many
appeals from representative business men
and organizations have been sent from
places in the West and South asking the
President to veto the bill. On the
other hand he is told that If he
does veto 1t the Democratic party
will be hopelessly disrupted. II this
prediction Is we'll founded he can by
the veto do the country double service.
He can uphold honest fnancieriDg and rid
the country of a party that has been dur.
ing much of its career q curse to 1t. he
has great opportunity TO be truly patri-
otic, and 1t Is to bs hoped that he will fill
q vacuum with q veto to-dsy.

Deserted Mormon wives.

Tribunal

4 Tribunal
Many Of the former polygamists Of thu
territory have abandoned their forne,
wives and children, pleading as an sxcuss
their desire to obey the law and conform
to the nsw order. Many of these plural
wives, with their children, are now living
In state of extreme wretchsdnes., unable
to support themselves and their children.
while the husbands, In the majority of
cases, are financially comfortable.
The mistaken idea prevails that the
maintaining Of Q plurality of wives was
heavy expense upon the unfortunate man
who obeyed bis church and encumbsred
his hou,ehold This may have been the
case In many instances, but In the large
msjortty Of cases the additional wives
proved 70 be many sources of additional
Incomes, especially on the farms, having
sided their ''husbsndsn In improving the
property occupied and bsving assisted ma
terially In heaping up bank accounts after
the nthee had been paid to the church.
The law against unlawful relations is made o
an eIouse to cast of these workers in their
later years, and also to throw upon them
the burden of large families, which IL had
been - =. duty to raise.
The church and the 6entiles are united
In appealing to these men, who are mum.
bered by the hundreds, to fulfil the oblI-
cations of manhood and to secure the peace
and comfort of these women who were led
Into polygsmy, as well as to aid In the cul-
ture and education of the children born BY
authority of the church, II not under the
sanction of the laws of the land.
But these men say: 1--WE must not vio-
late the laws" While they do not pose as
martyrs, they lay all the blame upon the
general public for interfering with the so-
cial relations that prevailed here under in
spirational teachings.
In this city there are women seeking in
every honorable way to maintain them
selves and children, whose efforts are
many times poorly rewarded. They see
the men whom they once called husbands
indulging in every luxury, but no longer
recognising them, even If they are pinched
or old. The desire to obey the law is not

THE UHIN EsE QUESTION

1t is entirely consistent that such a law
a. that which excludes the Chinese from
this country should pan out As 1t has. In
the opinion of an ohservans government
officer at San Francisco, It has cost 9bout
5000 to deport every Chinaman who has
fallen under the ban of the exclusion law,
and he believes that an investigation of the
methods of its enforcement ia necessary
before the Chinese can be deported in large
numbers. In explanation he enumerates
the fees or salaries, or both, of federal ofa-
cials, Chinese Interpreters and official stem
ographers. There are added the cost of
bringing Chinese from the interior and the
travelling expenses of the official who &C.
companies them. Then there are witness
fees, appeals, court proceedings, and pa
pers to be drawn for which fees are forth
coming, etc. Altogether 1t appears to
cost as much to send a Chinamsn out of
California a. would suHace for tourists
summer journey from New York to
Europe, including the return to New York.
He also calls attention to the failure OF
court process in attempts to enforce the
| original law, saying that the number OF
Chinese who have been remanded by fed
sral courts greatly exceeds that OF the Chi.
nese who have been actually deported, 60
shat the DEGREES of the courts have fallen
into contempt. In these futile proceed
ings heavy expenses have been incurred.
There are also many Chinese who remain
in the United States in defiance of the
orders of the federal courts at San Fran.

the warden had whipped out his revolver,
when piercing. agonizing cry rang out. 1t
came from the direction of the jail. Whip
ping their horses around the lynchers hurried
away.
While these events were taking place the
main body of the mob became impatient, and
soon determined to proceed to the little Jail
and break it open. Soon the tramp OF many
feet could be heard as the men, speaking lit
tie, meaning much, proceeded toward the
prison. One of them carried a rope, and all
were armed. Next the sound of steps and muf-
fed voices awakened those sleeping in the
jail, showing that the mob had reached the
back door.

WILLIAMS sHRIEKED FOR MERCY.
Noresponse was made by Jailer Dumbhardt.
In his cell the trembling wretch could hear
the crash of axes and hammers as the lynch
ers commenced to force their way in, and
crouched far into a corner of his cell. Finally
the door gave way. and the masked men tum-
bled upstairs toward the negros cell. Hear
ing the noise. and understanding it, the
doomed man began to scream in his abject
terror.
They reached the door of his CELL and
few blows from a sledge broke the lock.
Then they dragged out the wretch, shrieking
for mercy. Z o stifie his cries the rope which
they carried was wrapped around his neck.
Down the road to the iron bridge they carried
him. In pure malicious wantonness one man
fired at the PROSTATE prisoner, and others
shot at him again and again. One of these
bullets penetrated his lung, and another was
imbedded in the groin.
From one of the limbs of the same sycamore
tree where Yermillion had been hanged, the
dying negro was strung up, and when the
lynchers were satisfied he was dead, was left
TO swing in the air. But people passing TO
the depot could see the corpse, therefore JUS
tice Harris ordered it cut down after jury
had examined it
At the inquest Warden Spicer told his story
and Jailer Dumbhardt said he knew better
than to interfere. Therefore the jury
brought in a verdict that Williams came to
his death by violence at the hands Of persons
unknown. When the father of Williams
came TO bring him some clothes he found
him dead.

from accomplishing his purpose after he had
carried her some 200 yards from the house.

Of the Soldiers and Sailors and Sons of Vete-

of its declaration that the latter association
had misrepresented the present administra-
tion's attitude toward ex-Union soldiers. A
lengthy report was submitted and adopted, OF
which the following is the full text:
To the President and Members of the Inter
state Democratic Association:
A statement having been published in the
press of the country by an association of ex-
Union soldiers, lately removed from Office, to
the effect that the present administration had
removed some 1000 ex-Union soldiers from
the departmental service in this city who had
been largely replaced by ex-rebef soldiers"
and believing such statements to be as untrue
in substance as they were unfair in falling to
note appointments and reappointments of ex-
soldiers, and calculated to invite unjust criti-
cism of this administration and the Demo-
cratic party, this association at its regular
meeting on September /, by resolution, ap-
pointed the undersigned eX-Union soldiers

the case and to report their findings to this

HIGHEST SENTENCE IMPOSED.
Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks Must

Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks Must
Serge Ten Years for Killing a Man.
Judge Cole yesterday gave the limit of the
law to Henry Dasher and Casey Brooks, con-
victed recently of manslaughter in the killing
of Thomas Patterson on Thirteenth-and-a-
half street, near D, on March last.
Hon. John NJ. Langston and Thomas L.
Jones, attorneys for Dasher and Brooks, we're
present when the men were brought up for
sentence and withdrew the motion for new
trial.
They then argued for light sentence, but
Judge Cole said they probably would have
been convicted of murder in the second de-
gree ii such thing were possible under the
law. The law puts the extreme sentence at
ten years Imprisonment and 1000 fine, but
in the present case the fine would be nomi.
nal, and was placed at cent.
