sibility of complications threatened

of his recovery collectively over their
signature in an official bulletin, but
they went long way toward 1t indi.

who did not leave the Milburn house,
placed himself squarely on record,
not privately to the friends Of the
President. but publicly through the
agency of the press, that the danger
point had passed and that the Presi-
dent would survive.
The little piece Of lead in the mus
cles of the back is giving the physi-
clans no concern whatever. Unless 1t
should prove troublesome to the Pres
ident later on, he will probably carry
this grim souvenir Of the anarchist
with him to the end of his days. The
doctors say that. once encysted, 1t can
do no harm. Thousands Of men are
to-day walking the earth in perfect
health with much larger chunks Of
lead in their bodies. The X-ray ma
chine is ready for instant use, how
ever, and if there is the slightest in
fammation or pain in the vicinity Of
the bullet an operation will be per-
formed.
The Vice-President. members of the
Cabinet, Senator Hanna and the other
friends Of the President, who have re-
manned here to await the issue, ac-
cepted the verdict of the physicians as
practically conclusive, and there was
an exodus of those who considered
their presence no longer necessary.
Vice. President Roosevelt started for
his home at Oyster Bay, Senator Han
na returned to Cleveland on business
and Controller Dawes went back to
Washington. The family Of Abner
Mckinley, the Presidents brother,
have returned home, and Mrs. Dun
can and several other relatives Of the
President have gone.
The Presidents physicians have
been impressed with his remarkable
recuperative powers and the rapidity
of his Improvement Ordinarily an in
cision for such an operation as was
performed on him should heal within
three weeks. but in the Presidents
case it may be strong enough for him
to be moved little sooner. The Pres
ident will be taken direct to Washing.
ton s>soon as it is safe to move him.
Tice-President Roosevelt stood be-
hind the telegraph operator at the
Wilcox home. where he is staying, and
read with eagerness the dispatch from
the Milhurn mansion telling Of the
Presidents splendid condition. When
it was finished he clapped his hands
joyously. and with tears in his eyes
said to Mr.. Wilcox:
There. Didn't tell you God would
not let such noble man die by an
assassin's bullet"

sued by Secretary Cortelyou for the
physicians who were called:
"The President was shot about q
o'clock. One bullet struck him on the
upper portion Of the breast bone,
glancing and not penetrating; the Sec
ond bullet penetrated the abdomen
five inches below the left nipple and
one and one-half inches to the left Of
the median line. The abdomen was
opened through the line of the bullet
wound. 1t was found that the bullet
had penetrated the stomach.
"The opening in the front wall of the
stomach was carefully closed with silk
sutures; after which a search was
made for a hole in the back wall of
the stomach. This was found and also
closed IN the same way. The further
course of the bullet could not be dis
covered, although careful search was
made. The abdominal wound was
closed without drainage. No injury
to the intestines or other abdominal or
gans was discovered.
THE patient stood the operation
well, pulse Of good quality, rate Of
13O, and his condition at the conclu.
sion of the operation was gratifying.
The result cannot be foretold. His
condition at present justifies hope Of
recovery"

home.
Paul Czolgosz, the father, maintains
that his son should be punished for
what he has done, and 1t is evident
that he has no sympathy with Leon.
The other members of the family ap-
pear to be different from Leon in SEN
timent. They are thrifty, while he
was lazy, and all save the small chill
dren are workers. Their home Is
poorly furnished, but it is clean. Leon
seems to have been a black sheep in
the flock.
Paul Czolgosz, the father, Is an in
dustrious man. He also has some
means. More than thirty years ago
he came to this country with his wife.
That was at the high tide of prosperi-
ty, after the war. He found his way
to Detroit, where he secured a posi-
ton as laborer. There he managed
to make a comfortable living. There
most of his children were born. In
the meantime he had accumulated
some money.
When he came to Ohio, fourteen or
fifteen years ago, he purchased a forty
acre farm in Warrensville, eight miles
from Cleveland. There the family
lived until last spring, when the farm
was sold for $4,000 and the family
moved into the city, the father and
other sons obtaining employment In
manufacturing establishments.
Leon would not work. He disap-
peared several months ago, and the
family knew nothing of his where
abouts until he shot the President, at
Buffalo. This Is the story the father
told, through an interpreter:
Leon was not like the rest of the
family. He did not associate with

SkiIful Way in Which the President Was
Treated Just After the Shooting.
Buffalo. N. Y.-Although full details
Of the operation upon the President
Immediately after he was wounded
have not been made public, the follow
ing facts regarding what surgeons did
are known:
The operation was performed by DR..
Matthew D. Mann. His first assistant
was DR.. Herman Mynter. His second
assistant was DR.. John Parmenter.
His third assistant was DR.. Lee Of st.
Louis. who happened to be on the Ex-
position grounds at the time of the ira.
gedy and placed his services at the
disposal of the President. DR.. Nelson
noted the time of the operation and
took the notes. DR.. Eugene Wasdin,
of the Marine Hospital, gave the
anaesthetic. DR.. Rixey arrived at the
latter part of the operation and held
the light. DR.. Park arrived at the
close of the operation. 1t was Or.
Mann who welded the knife.
The operation lasted ffty-two min
utes. A cut about five inches long
was made. 1t was found necessary
to turn up the stomach of the Presi-
dent in order to trace the course Of
the bullet. The bullets opening in
the front wall Of the stomach was
small and it was carefully closed
with sutures, after which a search
was made for the hole in the back
wall of the stomach. This hole,
where the bullet went out of the
stomach, was larger than the first;
in fact, 1t was wound over an inch
in diameter. jagged and ragged. 1t
was sewed up in three layers. This
wound was larger than the wound
where the bullet entered the stomach
because the bullet, In its course, forced
tissues through ahead Of it.
In turning up the stomach, an act
that was absolutely necessary, and
was performed by DR.. Mann with
great skill. the danger was that some
of the contents Of the stomach might
go into the abdominal cavity and as
result cause peritonitis. 1t so hap
pened that there was very little In tho
Presidents stomach at the time of the
operation. Moreover, subsequent de-
velopments tend to show that this
feature of the operation was very sue
cessful and that none Of the contents
had entered the cavity.

STORIES OF EYEWITNESSES.
The Shooting Of the President In rh'
Temple of Music Graphically Described.

The sbootinp of the President in tho
Temple of Music Graphically Described.
Buffalo. N. Y.-On many material
points and particularly the utterances
of President Mckinley after he was
shot, the witnesses Of the tragedy at
the Temple of Music fail to agree.
The action Of the tragedy was very
fast, and it's commission was followed
by q scene of confusion in which 1t
was difficult to either see or hear with
accuracy however close one stood 10
the President and his assailant.
It is now condeded that the Presl-
dent did not say, MAY God forgive
him" after he was shot and agreed
that his first audible speech was
reference to his wife.
81 trust Mrs. Mckinley will not be
informed of this-at least, l hope 1t
will not be exaggerated"
A newspaper reporter, who stood
Just behind the President when the
shooting occurred, gave one OF the
clearest accounts related so far. He
said:
81 stood about ten feet from the
President and saw Czolgosz approach
him. The latter had his right hand
drawn up close to his breast and q
white linen handkerchief wrapped
about it, bore the appearance of a
bandage.
HE extended his left hand and, 1
am quite sure the President thought
he was injured, for he leaned forward
and looked at him in sympathetic
way. When directly in front OF the
President Czolgosz threw his right
hand forward and fired.
'I saw the flash and smoke, followed
by the report, and then heard the sec
ond shot. Instantly John Parker, the

Buffalo, N. Y.-President Mckinley,
while holding a reception in the Tenn

position at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon,
was shot and twice wounded by Leon
Czolgosz, an Anarchist, who lives in
Cleveland.
One bullet entered the Presidents

and was later easily extracted. The
other bullet entered the abdomen.

been found, although the wounds
were closed.
The assassin was Immediately over
powered and taken to police station
IN the Exposition grounds, but not be-
fore a number of the throng had tried
to lynch him. Later he was taken to
Police Headquarters.
Leon Czolgosz, the assassin. has
signed confession, covering six
pages of foolscap. in which he stated
that he Is an Anarchist, and that he
became an enthusiastic member of
that body through the influence OF
Emma Goldman, whose writings he
had read and whose lectures he had
listened to. He denied having any
confederate, and said he decided on
the act three days before and bought
the revolver with which the act was
committed in Buffalo.
He has seven brothers and sisters in
Cleveland. and the Cleveland Direc-
tory has the names of about that num-
Der living in Hosmer street and Ack-
land avenue, which adjoin. Some of
them are butchers and others are in
other trades.
CZolgosz was detained at Police
Headquarters. pending the result of
the Presidents injuries. He did not
appear in the least degree uneasy or
penitent for his action. He said he
was induced by his attention to Emma
Goldman's lectures and writings to de-
eide that the present form of govern
ment in this country was all wrong.
and he thought the best way to end 1t
was by killing the President. He
shows no signs of insanity, but IS very
reticent about his career.
While acknowledging himself an
Anarchist, he does not state to what
branch of the organization he belongs.

Northeast. He was connected with diff
ferent anarchistic societies and was
President of the Sala Club, an organ1-
zation that has since gone out Of ex-
istence. Marion PrZybelowski, for
mer companion Of the assassin, says
that Czolgosz was very noisy fellow,
especially when discussing politics.
Just after the outbreak Of the Span
ish war Czolgosz and his uncle went
from Minneapolis to Peoria, III.
Neither he nor his uncle were consid-
cred real anarchists while they lived
here, and the Poles say they have no
such society here. The Poles do not
believe he is of their nationality, and
the Rev. MrI Kamensky says he has
reason to believe that he is q Hunsa-
rian. The Poles here generally con-
denim his act, and say if they had the
opportunity they would lynch him.
