and vanished through the Lincoln
Parkway gate to reach the haven of
Police Headquarters.
At the Hospital.
At the Emergency Hospital, while
the throng was crying for the life
of the murderer. the exposition
officials and the railroad officials and
the telephone and telegraph officials
were securing the city and the ad
iacent country for the greatest SUR
geons. They learned that DR.. Ros
we'll Park was at Niagara Falls and
General Agent Harry Parry of the
New York Central Railroad ordered
special train to hurry him to the
Pesident's side. DR.. A. w. Lee of
St. Louis and D. Storer of Chicago
and DIR. Van Peyma of Buffalo were
on the grounds and they joined the
hospital staff. DR.. Matthew d.
Mann and DR.. Herman Mynter and
DR.. John Parmenter were summoned
by telephone and special messenger,
while DR.. D. w. Harrington and DR..
Lewis Stockton and others were
called by swift automobiles.
The President was borne out of
the Temple of Music at Ala o'clock
by Drs. Hall, Elias and Mann, Jr.,
of the hospital, in charge of the
ambulance. The crowd fell back
when it saw the figure of the Presi-
dent, prone upon what seemed flu
neral pail. Groans and sobs were
the only sound. There was no need
for the police to ask the crowd to
move back.
Six doctors were at the Presidents
side with him 80 seconds after his
arrival. The President was stripped
and placed where the surgeons might
see his wounds.
Crowd Waits In Silence.
Guarding the door was Detective
Foster of the secret service and his
assistants. When the announce
ment came, the first announcement,
that he was shot twice, but that
there was hope of his fife, people
Rugged each other and silently
waved their hats in the air or
clasped their hands and murmured
gratefully, with eyes closed.
At AS O'Clock the good word
came that one bullet had been ex
tracted, that his wound was super
! fetal and had done no serious harm.
1t was joyous. But moment later
came the news of the second bullet
and the second wound. 1t had not
been found and 'they were waiting
for the great surgeons who were in
consultation before beginning an
operation.
| Surgeons Arrive.
| At 5.07 o'clock a small grey
bearded man pushed his way through
the crowd and approached the hos
pital. He was DR.. Matthew D.
Mann, and Mr.. Scatcherd met him
at the hospital door precisely one
hour after the President had been
shot. Nine minutes later the crowd
parted and an automobile whizzed
up, carrying DIR. John Parmenter,
who had been found by Joseph g.
Dudley and Clinton Wyckoffs. DIR.
Herman Mynter entered. Then
came DR.. David 7. Day of Washing
ton. DIR. Nelson w. Wilson was
watching at the door. The sur
geons were waiting for the coming
of the Presidents physician, DR.. p.
NJ. Rixey, and for DIR. Park. At
5. 80 O'Clock Secretary W. V. Cox of
the Government board of exposition
managers arrived with DIR. Rixey,
Mrs. Rixey and Mrs. Cortelyou.

en-. Then came DIR. d. W. Harring-
ton and DIR. Lewis Stockton, escorted

The 6 O'Clock whistles were blow
ing when Mr.. Scatcherd and Mr..

and asked that the crowd move still
farther back and preserve quiet:
