tho lower part Of the abdomen rested
easv at the Jail. Yesterday morning
his wound was dressed by Drs. Q. II.
W. Raglan and w. b. Morrison, who
state it is not necessarily fatal. 1t is
the general impression that Grant
will recover il he does not tear open
| his wounds.
He confessed to one Of the officers
that he hoped he would die, and re-
peated his threat to kill himself. He
is closely guarded. and States Attor-
ney r. A. Poffenberger gave orders to
allow no one to see him, excepting
his wife, who visited him yesterday
afternoon in the presence Of jail
official. The meeting was very
affecting one.
Policeman Flory's pistol was exam
med. Two chambers were empty, and
it is believed that both the wound III
Grant s neck which is not serious.
and the wound in his abdomen, which
is serious, were inflicted by Flory
after he was shot. Grant says Flory
shot him twice.
Grant has confessed that he was at
ter Agent Samuel H. Long. Fuller and
William Hose. Hose is the man on
whom Grant drew knife last week,
and was the cause of Grants dis
charge. He said he was sorry he killed
the policeman. but he had TO defend
himself, and he did not want to be ar
rested. He said if the policeman had
not advanced upon HIM he would soon
have killed himself. AS it was he
shot three bullets at his own head,
but they went through his hat.
Grant claims that Full +, who re :
ported him and upon whose report he
was discharged, had grievance
against him. 1t is said Grant was a
witness against Fuller 10 or ~ years
ago when Fuller was discharged by
the Cumberland Valley Road for be-
ing responsible for head on colli-
sion, in which aggagemaster Bitner
was killed. Fuller at that time was
an engineman.
One of the bullets fired by Flory,
after grazing Grants neck. hit the
house of II. Cutler Tice. crashing
through a window at which Miss Ger
trude Tice was sitting and almost hit
ing her The glass was scattered all
over her.
The body of Flory was sent to .the
home of his father, Alexander M.
Flory, near Clear Spring His fun
eral will be held Sunday.
Fuller's funeral will be held this af-
ternot II if his daughter, Mrs. Alice
Shull. of Spencer n. G. can reach
Hagerstown by that time
II Grant lives and his case comes
to trial the defense will probably be
that the murders We're not premedi-
tated. 1t is thought the Shooting,
witnessed by so many people, will
not be denied.
Grants wife, who was Miss
of Shepherdstown, W. Va,
from a visit TO that place
Tuesday afternoon. Grants daugh-
ter, Miss Edith Grant, was in Get
tysburg. Pa, visiting when the ira
gedy was enacted.

ed to inquire into the shooting of Full
Ter and Flory assembled at police
headquarters yesterday AFTERNOON be-
fore Justice Hoffman and examined
about dozen of the chief witnesses.
