The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1901-09-15

wish to be allowed to pay their tribute
of respect here that it was subsequently,
decided to hold the service at IL clock
in the morning and allow the body to lie
in state in the city hall here tomorrow
afternoon. Monday special train bearing
the president, cabinet, Mrs Mckinley,
the family and the distinguished per
soHages associated with the Mckinley
administration, will convey the body to
Washington. The body will be taken to
the White house for the night and on
tuesday it will be formally conveyed to
the rotunda of the capitol u lding where
the state ceremonies will occur. On
Wednesday the body will be conveyed to
Canton, where it will be inferred in the
family lot.
Cablegrams, kilograms and messages
of sympathy and coincidence from all over
the, world are arriving by the thousand.
Mrs. Mckinley, feeble : and broken
hearted as she is, bears up under her
great sorrow with remarkable fortitude,
and DR.. Rixey says he believes she will
be able to go through the trying ordeal
of a state funeral.
A death mask will be made by a Wash
ington artist named Garet.
All the presidents relatives and friends
agreed that it was desirable that the fea-
lures of the martyred president should
be preserved for the sake of history
No coroner's inquest was held. Pur-
suing the precedent laid down in the case
of Garfield the coroner simply viewed
| the body this morning and later gave a
certificate in accordance with the result
| of the autopsy, which declared that death
was unavoidable by any surgical or med
ical treatment, and was the direct result
of a bullet wound.
The wretch who plunged the world into
sorrow will, therefore pay the penalty of
| his crime by death in the electrocution
| chair. Murder in the first degree will be
| the charge.
WAS THE BULLET POISONED?
The report of the autopsy has again
given rise to a theory limited at day
or two after the president was shot that
| CzolgosZ, in order to insure the accom-
pl1shment of his purpose, poisoned the
! bullets which he fired. The gangrene
found in the path of the bullet is thought
| to be strong evidence in support of this
! view by DR.. Wasdin, one of the consulting
| physicians.
A chemical and psychological exarnin-
alton OF the remaining bullets in the pis-
| tol will, however, confirm or demolish this
! theory, and such an examination will lIn-
doubtedly be made at once by the au-
thoriues- But whether this theory is es-
taplshed or not it seems probable that the
result OF the autopsy will give rise to a
medical controversy The gangrened con-
dition of the interior wounds. which the
| physicians thought were healed and the
TACT that the physicians announced posi-
] uVely that the kidney which the bullet
tore IN It's passage through the abdomen
was unlnJured, were so contrary to what
| was expected by the public after the
statements of the physicians during the
progress of the case, that discussion 3 evr 9

might OF course, account for the sudden

hlhleys s condition just, when the phvsi-
Grams Iald such great stress upon his i'm

nope OF his recovery The bullet itself
was not found, although an hour,s sea rob
was made for it. The X-ray5 apnliancas
were not at hand for the use of the nbv.
