He wanted to remove her to his home but the doctor would not permit it as she was too weak.
 Dr. Frank T. Fitzgibbon made an ex- animation of the woman when she was first brought in. He found that the ball had entered to the right of the navel and passed through her body, coming out to the right side of the spinal cord. Dr. Fitzgibbon thinks that the intes- tines have been perforated and that an operation may be necessary. He de- clares that the womans condition Is critical, and that the chances are against her recovery. Her pulse is very weak, and it is feared that she may have an internal hemorrhage at any time.
 While the woman was away in Stock ton last week Briese visited her room on several occasions, but, of course, there was no reply to his requests for admittance.
 He undoubtedly intended to kill her, for just before his murderous deed he went to his saloon at 211 Grant avenue and took his pistol from behind the bar and left without saying a word 10 the barkeeper, who was on duty at the time.

COMP ANY D'S ENTERTAINMENT Aninatoscope Pictures Received With Great
 Enthusiasm. Frank Dougherty Wins Gold Medal for Efficiency in
 Drill. A Neat Sum Realized, Which Will Be Used in Buying Uniforms
 and Equipments.

The animatoscope exhibition given at Odd Fellows Hall last evening by Com pany D of the League of the Cross, for the purpose of depicting Compa- nies A, G, and D of that organization on full parade, proved to be a success far beyond the most sanguine expecta- tions of those directly interested in it. The pictures thrown on the screen were life-size and marvelously true to na- ture.
 Company A headed the parade with it's commander and chief officers in full regimentals, followed by a hundred or more privates on a steady and uniform march, with uplifted sabres, which fairly glistened in the strong and pow erful electric light from the rear of the immense screen. Next in order came Companies G and D. headed by their respective commanders and principal officers. AS the well-recognized fea- lures of the members of the different companies appeared on the screen they were loudly and enthusiastically ap- plauded by friends and relatives until their disappearance on the farther side
 This exhibition proved to be the cen tral feature of the entertainment and the recollection of the first part of the programme was nearly lost in the interest manifested in this life-like pre- sentation of the cadets on parade. The display, and in fact the entire enter tainment, was given under the auspices of Company D, and under the imme- diate direction of it's officers.
 In conjunction with the animate scope a competitive drill was given for a gold and silver medal. awarded as trophies by the company to those ca dets most efficient in military tactics and the various commands, which thorough knowledge of the subject in- cludes.
 In competing for the first trophy none but non-commissioned officers were eligible, while the second or silver

 The drug clerk at Kelly's drug store asserts that it is impossible to obtain morphine al his place of business with out physicians prescription, and that the pills obtained by Dr. Martin con- tained one-quarter grain of sulphate of morphia. The dead girls name does not appear on the prescription book, and she is not known to have had any means of procuring morphine except from her physician.
 The pitiable part of it is that her peo- pie in New York do not know that she has been living life of shame in this city, her sister having kept the fact from them. Her love for the stage led to her ruin, and perhaps death. Her body is now at McGinn's undertaking parlors and will be buried tomorrow morning at the Masonic cemetery
 The dead woman has been living with Ned Foster for at least two years, and he has always kept her fairly we'll sup piled with money. On the evening of her death Foster gave instructions to McGinn Bros, the undertakers on Eddy street, to embalm the body at once. They carried out his orders immedi- ately, and all trace of the morphine poisoning would be eliminated by the action of the embalming fluid.
 The matter has been brought to the notice of the Coroner, and he intends to investigate the case very thoroughly.

 T have known Bob for about year He fascinated me and 1 promised tc marry him, but I never intended to dc so, and have been putting him off from time to time. This is why he shot me and now that I know he is dead, I an aware that bad man is no more"
 Here the woman stopped for breath To speak was evidently agony to her for huge beads of precipitation stood out upon her forehead and she tossed from one side of the narrow cot to the other. Occasionally she would lay hel hands upon the place where she was going to die. If I thought that I was going to get we'll I would not tell you all this" Then she continued:
 Last night Bob came to my room about o'clock and wanted@me to let him in. but I would not. He went away and came back at Il o'clock this morning and again tried to get me to let him in, but I refused. About o'clock l got up and ate my breakfast, and when I had finished put the tray out in the hall and did not think to lock my door.

 With this he reached for his hip pocket and in a moment l divined his intention, for his was a jealous nature, and I cried, Don't Bob, at the same time holding out my arms to protect myself He drew his pistol and placing it against my stomach fired. I fell to the floor. I then saw him place the weapon to his head and pull the trig- ger. I jumped up and rushed from the room, and as I did so Bob sank with a moan at the foot of my bed.
 He shot me because I would not marry him. He was in love with me and jealous of any attention that I re- ceived from others. I nad no idea of marrying hlm and I was going to leave the Dunlap House. The last time I saw ny husband to speak to him was at New Year. He had heard where I was ana came 10 see me. we nave net spoken since then. I deserve all that has happened to me, but for the sake of my baby and my good husband I am truly sorry"
 The w II ar had scarcely fini ;nc1 her sad recital, when her husband. who had been sent for, entered. He ap- preached her cot and for a moment seemed to hesitate as if uncertain of his reception. Then followed a silent pant9mime that was intense in it's dra- matlc force. The woman simply stretched out her arms, while in Eer eyes was a silent. pleading prayer for forgiveness. The strong man bent down and kissed her. There was TO word spoken, but in the simple, human act, the past was obliterated and all was forgotten. The woman smiled in a happy and peaceful way as her hus- band sat beside her and held her hand.

Three Morphine Pills Were Found Under
 Her Pillow.
Dr. Martin Positive That He Did Not Prescribe Morphia
 for His Patient.
CORONER TO INVESTIGATE
Enbaln1ing of the Body May Have Destroyed Poison
 Traces.

A pitiab1e fatality, and one which seems to demand investigation by the Coroner, occurred at a rooming house on Eddy street on Thursday evening.
 Ethel Burtis, variety actress, en- | gagged a room at 43 Eddy street on March last year. During July she was taken sick and since then she has never appeared to have regained her usual health. On February last she was i'll again, and Dr. Martin of the Palace Hotel was called in attendance The doctor states that she was suffer- ing from capillary bronchitis, and when she died he signed certificate to that effect. Circumstances have arisen, however, which seem to point to the fact that death was caused by mor- phine poisoning. Three morphine pills were found in a box under her pillow after her death, and those in attend ance on the sick woman say the doc tor prescribed them for her.
 Dr. Martin strenuously denies that he ever at any time prescribed for his patient pills in which morphine figured at all; and further he says he never at any time called at Kelly's dug store on Eddy street foi pills of that de- scription. The drug clerk at the drug store asserts that the doctor called there personally for the pills on Wed nesday evening, and that he has the prescription on file.
 People who are well acquainted with the dead girl assert that she was not addicted to the use of the drug, and that she had been entirely without food for nearly a fortnight. She was heard to complain bitterly that she had no one to attend to her at night, although there was girl in attendance on her during the day The girls name is Wise. In an interview yesterday she said:
 'I have been in attendance on Ethel Burtis for seven weeks during the day time, but have never nursed her at night. She has often begged me to stay with her at night but my father will not permit me to be away from my home after D. m. The only time I have ever seen her take morphine was when Dr. Martin injected it into her arm with a syringe. I have seen him do this about half dozen times. I have been several times to Kelly's drug store for pills, but they were not morphine pills. She has not eaten any, thing for ten or twelve days. All her relatives live in New York, and her sis- ter who was here with her has gone back there. There was a gentleman who came to see her who used to bring pills for her. and tell her to take them
