killed the president. Not since Sun
day week has he asked about the
condition of the president, and then
he did so in an Indifferent way. He
said he desired to have death result
from his attack, but his expressed
hope gave indication of insincerity.
He was not informed at any time OF
the condition of the president.
Gov. Odell announced yesterday
that he had declined to call special
term of the supreme court to try the
murderer of President Mckinley be-
cause he believed that haste was not
necessary. He said that the district
attorney had assured him that the
grand jury would indict and the case
be on trial within Is days and to call
a special term and get jury assem-
bled would take more than that.
The assassin is in the Erie county

Buffalo, N. z, Sept. 16.-Theodore
Roosevelt, who Saturday was tragi-
cally elevated to the chief magistracy
of the American republic by the
death of Presidents Mckinley, entered
this city of mourning after remarkable
and peri1ous journey from the heart
OF the North woods. He had been
president under the constitution and
law of the land since the minute
the martyred president ceased to live.
All the duties and powers of the
office had devOlved upon him, but
he was as powerless as the hum
blest citizen to exercise one of them
until he had complied with the consti-
tutional provision requiring him to
take prescribed oath to support and
defend the constitution and laws of
the United States. He took that
oath at $3.50 Saturday afternoon, in

the library of the residence of Ans
ley Wilcox, a personal friend, with
whom he stopped earlier in the week.
when the physicians thought Presi-
dent Mckinley would recover from
the wound inflicted by the assassin.
The scene was a most affecting one.
The new president had just come
from the Mi1burn house, where his
predecessor lay cold in death. Over
come by the deep personal sorrow he
felt, in his characteristic impulsive
way, he had gone first to the house
of mourning to offer his coincidence
and sympathy to the broken-hearted
widow. Secretary Root, who 20 years
ago had been present at a similar
scene when Arthur took the oath
after the death of another president
who fell victim to an assassin's bull
let, almost broke down when he re-
quested Mr.. Roosevelt, on behalf of
the members of the cabinet of the
tie president, to take the prescribed
oatn. There was not dry eye in
the room.
The new president was visibly
shaken, but he controlled himself,
and when he lifted his hand to swear
it was as steady as though carved
in marble. With the deep solemnity
of the occasion full upon him he an
nounced that his aim would be to be
William McKinley's successor in deed
as well as name.
The great and far-reaching signif-
canoe of his pledge to continue the
policy of the dead president, an
hi - -
new governmental regime, profoundly
impressed his hearers, and President
Roosevelt's first step after taking the
oath was in line with it's redemption.
His first act was to ask the members
to retain their portfolios in order to
aid him to conduct the government
on lines laid down by him whose pol
icy he had declared he would uphold.
Rough Nights Ride.
Albany, n. Y, Sept. 15.-Whep Theo-
dore Roosevelt and his guides left
Tahawus club early Friday morning
on a hunting expedition, the vice
president fully believed that Presi-
dent Mckinley was entirely out of
danger and on the rapid road to re-
covery. The hunting party moved III
the direction of Mount Marcy, the
highest peak in the Adirondacks re-
gion. They had not been gone over
three hours when mounted courier
rode rapidly into Tahawus club with
messages to the vice president, stat
ing that President Mckinley was in a
critical condition. The messages had
been telegraphed to North Greek
and from there telephoned to point
ten miles south of Tahawus club. Ex-
ira guides were at once deployed from
the club in the direction of Mount
Marcy, with instructions to sound a
general alarm in order to find the
vice president as soon as possible. The
far-reaching megaphone code and the

DOCTORS IN TIE DARK.
che Autopsy on the Dead President SHOW
That the Bullet Caused More Damage
Than They supposed.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 16.-PreSident
Mckinley never had one chance to
recover from the assaSsin's bullet, ac-
cording to the widespread report Of
the autopsy held Saturday afternoon
One discovery was that the ball
struck the pancreas, a gland common
ly called the ''sweetbread." The
president died of ''toxemia caused by
necrosis OF the tissues" That is an
other way OF saying that gangrene
killed him. This could not have been
prevented. the doctors say, by any
surgical or medical treatment. Some
of the doctors, notably DR.. Wasdin.
are inclined to believe that President
Mckinley was shot with poisoned bull
lets. This is not proved. But the
president would have died of his
fectly clean. His system did not pos
sess the vitality to repair the damage
done to his vital organs.
When the president was shot he re-
ceived the best surgical attention at
the earliest possible moment. After
the surgeons exhausted all the
sources of their science they had to
depend upon nature coming to their
dSSISSdICC anu 1dllSQ
The complications which followed the
mending of the presidents wounds
were, the doctors confess, fully be-
yond their ken. The gangrenous af-
lection did not manifest itself in any
way that could be detected by them.
It brought about those conditions Of
the heart and of the intestines which.
during the last two days, showed to
the physicians that something was
wrong, but what it was they never
knew to a certainty until they made
the autopsy Saturday.
Lodgment of the second bullet in
the abdominal wall back of the
stomach had nothing to do with the
presidents death. It did all of its
damage in the abdominal cavity
That bullet remains a mystery. Il
was not located during the presi-
dents life and two hours of careful
search for it after death failed to find
it. The fact that this bullet remained
in the presidents body without set
ting up any discord where it stopped
initiates against the theory that it
might have been poisoned.
The autopsy shows that the bullet
passed through the stomach near its
lower quarter and then entered the
muscles of the backbone behind the
kidneys and aorta. From that spot
surgical skill would have been utterly
powerless to extract it if it had been
discovered. On its way the bullet
tore away the suprarenal capsul and
pierced the left kidney, destroying
the upper part of that organ. When
the gangrene also affected the pam
creas this set free poisons which en-
tered the blood and affected the
heart and this in the end produced
death.
Was the Bullet Poisoned:
Chicago, Sept. ia startling pos
sibility is suggested by DIR. James
Lydston, of this city. In comment
ing upon the death of President Nc
Kinley he said that the bullet which
went through the stomach and re-
manned in the body might have been
poisoned. The irritation that pro
duced the increased pulsations and
temperature could have been caused
by a poisoned lead ball, when all
other conditions favored recovery.
