one of the consulting physicians, and an
expert of high standing in the Marine
Hospital Service. strongly supported the
view that the murderous bullet had been
poisoned and that this was one of the
ton. The area of this dead and gangrened
flesh was a source of much surprise to
the surgeons, reaching a circumference
about the size of a silver dollar about the
internal wounds.
Aside from their official signed state
ment the doctors were rather averse to
discussing the autopsy, but some general
expressions were secured on the points in
volved. Dr. Matthew ID. Mann, the sur
geon upon whom fell the responsibility of
operating upon the President Immediately
after he was shot, in the course of cur
sorry talk said: First of all, there was
never any contention or unseemly discus
sion among the physicians as to the method
of treatment of a case similar to the pres
ent one in Importance. In no case was
there ever a better understanding as to
what should be done. We worked together
as one man. There were honest differences
of opinion among us sometimes as to which
was the better mode of procedure under
certain conditions, but the minority always
was convinced

Mann replied, lis a sufficient answer to
your question. 1t shows very plainly that

STATEMENT OF PHYSICIANS.
Bullet wounds Caused Gangrene,
which Resulted I'm Death.

BUFFALO, Sept. 1.-THE following re-
port of the autopsy upon the remains OF
President Mckinley was issued at o'clock
this afternoon:
.sThe bullet which struck over the breast
bone did not pass through the skin and dio
little harm. The other bullet passed
through both walls of the stomach near its
lower portion. Both holes were found TO
be perfectly closed by the stitches, but the
tissue around each hole had become gan
grenous. After passing through the stomach
the bullet passed into the back walls of
the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper
end of the kidney. This portion of the bull
let track was also gangrenous, the gan
CREME involving the pancreas. The bullet
has not vet been found. There was no sign
of perintonitis or disease of other organs.
The heart walls were very thin. There was
no evidence of any attempt at repair on the
part of nature and death resulted from the
gangrene which affected the stomach
around the bullet wounds well the
tissues around the further course of the
bullet Death was unavoidable by any
surgical or medical treatment and was the
direct result of the bullet wound.

WAS THE BULLET POISONED?
The official announcement of the physi-
clans as a result of their autopsy on the
Presidents body that death resulted from
gangrene of the wounds led TO much dis
cussion OF the causes leading up to this

the locality where it struck the flesh was
quite fiabby and confused. To-day's inves-
tigation developed the fact that the first
bullet struck the President on the right side
Of the breast bone, near the edge and be-
tween the second and third ribs. In our
original examination we said it was to the
left of the breast bone. The mistake in the
first announcement was due to the very
hasty examination we made at the time of
the shooting. when the question was not so
much as to the exact locality of the wounds
as to that of getting to work to save the
Presidents life"
VITALITY AT LOW STATE.
'"The report speaks of a lack of evidence
of repair work on the part of nature
Won't you explain just what bearing this
had the case at issue?"
by that statement we mean that the
general system of the patient failed to re-
spond to the demand upon it for a revival
from the shock suffered by the shooting. 1t
was due probably to low state of vitality;
not to poor health mind you, but to a sys-
tenn that was considerably run down and
needed rest and recuperation"
'The report says the heart walls were
very thin. Was this condition peculiar to
the President or is it a common complaint
Did the use of smoking tobacco by the
President have any important bearing OH
the case?"
"A man whose heart walls are very thin
Is usually one who leads a sedentary life
and whose heart gets no great amount of
exercise. This organ, like any other. re-
quires active exercise to keep it in proper
condition. No doubt the Presidents heart
v as sufficient for him in his ordinary bus
mess affairs of life where no strain was re-
quired. When extraordinary efforts were
necessary the heart was unable to meet
them. No. don't think the smoking habit
affected the Presidents heart to the ex-
tent of making it figure in the result of his
case He was not great smoker and at
one time we even considered the propriety
of permitting him to have a cigar"

abdomen poisoned and that this was
what caused death. Do you think there is
any basis for the reports?'' was asked.
BULLETS MAY BE ANALYZED
The authorities and the physicians have

alleging that the bullet was poisoned" DR..
Mann replied. II don't know whether IL
