sons were present at the time Their
names were given In the Dispatch's Sun
day issue. Seven OF this number are
friends Of Rhea. and positively refuse to
give or make any statement whatever,
except that they all say that Walker shot
Hamilton. Walker and his frienus-Calfee
and Hickman-also refuse TO say any
thing. except to deny that Walker did
any shooting.
HAMILTON SAYS WALKER.
When seen to-day Mr.. Hamilton said:
Certainly. I know who shot me-" and
expressed great surprise at Walkers de-
NAL of having shot him.
Dr. St John. attending physician on
Mr.. Hamilton. thinks his patient is doing
well. and feels assured of his recovery.
The ball entered his body about 4
inches above the navel. and just left of
the centre of the body. Mr.. Hamilton
being very heshy. the presumption is that
the bali has only gone through the flesh
and has not entered his stomach or bowels
a all.
Reports sent out from here to the effect
that Mr.. Hamilton was standing or rush.
ing at General Walker are untrue, as
Hamilton was sitting when shot, and his
physician says that the wound could not
possibly be other than one received in
sitting position
General Walker il restless. and his
physicians will not indicate his condition,
further than 10 say that he is doing very
well No examinations have been made Of
his wounds since they were dressed. but
the physicians seem worried about their
patient on account of high pulse nom
attended by fever
1t is the common belief here now from
all facts obtainable, that General walkers
condition is far more serious than was
first supposed. and that his wounds are
much more serious than is Mr.. Hamil-
toms.
COURT MUST DETERMINE.
The court will have to determine who
shot General Walker. Indeed, 1t seems 1t

the shooting. witnesses refuse 10 tax.

some that q. T.. Davis. the stenographer or
Rhea X Peters. shot him. and the charge
Of others that a. r. Hickman partisan
OF General Walkers, shot him IN an at
tempt 10 shoot Davis are mere matters
Of opinion. 1t has been said, as above
mentioned. that Mr. Hamilton rushed at
General Walker and that he shot him,
but Hamilton was unarmed, and ii is de-
clared he made no attempt at violence
whatever. Every one acquainted with
him says that he never carried PISTOL
and was utterly unaccustomed to the use
of pistols. and his jovial good nature Is
well known 10 all. 1t has been suggested
by some that Judge Rhea or J. A. Stone
shot the General but this report is abb

A serious accusation has been ma,

A serious accusation has been made
in Berlin against the psychologists, doc
tors and psychologists in the hospitals
by the minister of education, and it is
that these scientific men indulge in
serious experiments with patients, hav.
ing little regard for their lives. They
inject living germs of fatal diseases
without respect to the rights Of the pa
tient with the desire to prove their own
theories. This recalls the police rumor
started during the plague convention
in Florence in 1897 that the black death
had been revived by the nihilists from
germs found in the trench at Marseilles.
This startling story originated in the
police bureau at st. Petersburg and
was said to have been brought to light
by correspondence captured in a raid
upon nihilists.
