The Bee is gratiiied TO learn that Mr..
Perry s. Heath, who for many years
was lis Washington correspondent, has
been appointed chief of the bureau of

made. Mr.. Heath is particularly
well informed rs to political on
litiOns in the central west, in

Her appeals to the officials at Washington

her wounds. She presents pltiable sight
with her tightly bandaged head and pale,
pinched face.
Hers is a remarkable case. Seldom do
people with fractured skulls survive the
injury but few days, but Sadie has lived
torty-eight hours after fracture laying
open the brain and from which her brain

Sadie and Maud are not expected to

hospital as critical. The Times repre-

count of their wounds and bruises
THE WOUNDS.
Little seven-year-old Sadie has her skull
fractured almost in the center of the
top of the head. The wound is q little
10 the right of the part, and the skull
bone was crushed in, two pieces entering
the grayish brain substance. The wound
was Jagged and gave the appearance of
having been made with a blunt instrument.
Her only other injury is badly black
ened right eye. The bruise is such as
might be made with fist, and certainly
was not inflicted with the same weapop
as used on the head

Buxton at once concerning the crime.
This interview will take place this after
noon and no doubt have an important
bearing on future Investigations of the
case, and may lead to the startling and
sensational revelations that have been pre-
dictcd.
One of the most important questions now
TO be determined Is. Was the assailant
white or colored man and what was his mo
tive? The detectives believe they can an
swer these questions satisfactorily at the
proper time. One thing, they say, they are
morally certain of, and that is that Neaie
and Randolph are not the men wanted.
They Certainly have good grounds for this
belief.
When Randolph is brought here tomor-
row to be taken before Mr.. Buxton he
will be in charge of Sheriff Collier of
Montgomery county and an assis tant.
The party will be met at the depot by
a patrol wagon and detachment OF police
men, and hustled to Garfield Hospital in
a hurry.
One rule followed by guilty person.
the detectives say, is to at once point out
some innocent person as the culprit They
refer to this in connection with George
Neale being quickly singled out as the as
sailant after the bloody crime had been
committed.
The theory was advanced this after
noon that the man who administered the
light taps on the heads of the Buxtons may
have been white man disguised by black
ing his face and hands. Sucpiciou is di-
rected TO persons who do not live very far
from the Buxton home.

half long along the top OF the head and to
the left OF the parictal bone. Another cut
about the same length extends down the
back OF the head, while there are two small
ai,rasions to ward the forehead. The last
mentioned are such as would have been
made by an AK which,. upon descending,
struck the head andtipped over, causing the
bruises.
Mr.. Buxton's lips are slightly bruised. To
DR.. Thompson he stated that he was sleep
ing on his stomach, with his forehead rest
ing on bis right arm, when he felt the
first blow. He said he heard other blows,
but he seemed to be daZed or in dream.
Miss Maud Buxton seems to be in as
critical condition as her sister. Her speech
has been entirely destroyed and her right
side is partially paralyzed. Her skull is
fractured over the left parietal bone. where
there Is an incised wound about two inches
in length. Her right eye is also bruised, as
from fist blow. The doctors say its con-
dition is such that some instrument might
have inflicted the injury.
Mrs. Buxton has u cut on the top of her
head two and onc-half inches long, and
the skull is fractured at that point. An
other cut, only scalp wound. Is near the
fracture, but appears to have been sepa-
rate cut or blow. Both are much lacerated
and show that n blunt instrument had been
used.
Maud and Sadie were members of the
Epworth League ut the Gaitbersburg n.
E. Church, and this morning early each Of
the family was the recipient of beautiful
bunch of flowers from chapter OF the
Epworth League OF this city.
The doctors say they would not be sur
prised should each of the injured persons
die. yet there are cases where similarly
wounded people have survived.
There is little or no hope, however.
for the recovery of either Maud or Sadie
