AUTOPSY ON THE REMAINS

Tro'os surprise to the Doctors, and Ac.
counts for the Death.
Buffalo, Sept. 16-The following re.
port or the autopsy upon the remains
of President Mckinley was issued al
8 p m. Saturday:
"The bullet which struck over tbe
breast bone did not pass through the
skin, and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls of
the stomach near it's lower border.
Both holes We're found to be perfectly
closed by the stitches, but the tissue
around each hole had become gangren-
Gus. After passing through the stom-
ach the bullet passed into the back
walls of the abdomen. hitting and tear
ing the upper end of the kidney. This
portion of the bullet track was also
gangrenous, the gangrene involving
the pancreas. The bullet has not vet
been found. There was no sign of
peritonitis or disease of other organs.
The heart walls were very thin.
There was no evidence of any at.
tempt at repair on the part of nature.
and death resulted from the gangrene
which affected the stomach around the
bullet wounds, as well as the Tissues
around the further course of the bullet.
Death was unavoidable by any surgic
al or medical treatment, and was the
direct result Of the bullet wound"
The foregoing is signed by fourteen
physicians, including Rixey, Mann.
Mynter, Park, Wasdin, Janeway and
Or. Wasdin has suspicion that the
bullet was poisoned, thus accounting
Tor the gangrene; but none Of the other
physicians agrees with him. The re- |
naming bullet In the pistol, which ia |
revolver, will be examined by ex- |
perts, In order to settle the poison
question.
Referring to the report on the au-
topsy, DIR. Mann was asked: "The re-
port says the heart walls were very
thin. Was this condition peculiar TO
the president, or Is 1t a common COM
plant? Did the use of smoking to-
bacco by the president have any i'm
portant bearing on the case?"
"A man whose heart walls are very
thin, said the doctor, sis usually one
who leads sedentary life and whose
heart gets no great amount of exercise.
This organ, like any other, requires
active exercise to keep II in proper
condition. No doubt the presidents
heart was sufficient for MIN In his
ordinary business affairs of life when
no strain was required. When the ex- ]
iraordinary efforts Were necessary the
heart was unable to meet them. No. i
don't think the smoking habit af-
'ected the presidents heart to the ex,
ent of making it figure in the result !
