It viii be concluded with the adjourn-
ment OF court at O'clock this after
noon. The crowd about the court room
today was slightly larger than yester-
dag. The vigilance of the police was in
no way relaxed. The same careful
scrutiny of each person entering the
more ladies in the audience today than
yesterday. The prisoner was brought
over from the jail at 9:45 and placed in
the same chair he occupied yesterday.
1t became known this morning that ap-
splication for seats had been made by
the Representatives of several anarchist
papers. but they have been refused. Im-
mdtately upon the opening of the court
Samuel ]. Fields, chief engineer Of the
sPan-American exposition was recalled
TO the witness stand. He was asked by
the district attorney the meaning of
certain figures on the floor plan 1f the
temple OF music. He said 1t was in
tended to- show the direction whick the
\ 1ile OF people took In entering the build
ling. Mr.. Mathey D. Mann was then
called for cross-examfnation
n DIR. Mann In his direct examination
had gone over the ground in connection
with the operation on the president and
<he subsequent treatment.
y TO find the track of the bullet, back
: OF the stomach" DR.. Mann explained,
Sss.it would have been necessary to re-
move the bowels from the abdominal
oAyity. The performance of that opera
IN lould probably have resulted fac
ally. as the president already had grown
very weak as result OF the first oper-
alton.
Were you present at the autopsy?"
asked District Attorney Penney.
@ Yes
'ssTell US what You found
Raising the stomach We found a
large cavity, the walls of which showed
evidence Of gangrene. In the cavity was

sues surrounding it covering a space as
large as silver dollar were affected.
what caused Mr.. McKinley's
death q asked District Attorney Pen
ney.
..The gunshot wound in the stomach
resulting from the bullet that passed
thru both walls OF that organ and
lodged in the muscles of the back.
S Or. Mann testified to the effect that he
never saw anything exactly like the
preeadent's wounds; that II was difficult
10 explain the gangrenous condition of
theswonnds; that the bulletins issued
~ the physicians merely stated the
facts, but the opinion held by the ply
sicians seemed to be fully warranted by
the condition OF the president. and they
had no reason to suspect the existence
OF any such state of affairs as was dis
severed at the autopsy. The doctor said
the president was in a somewhat weak
Iened condition from hard work, which
might have had something to do toward
bringing about the gangrenous condi-
IAIon. He said nothing was known to
medical science that could have saved
~.
Louis Z. Rabcock, in charge of the
in the temple Of music on
the day OF the shooting, followed DR..
Mann He gave the details Of the ar
3rangement made for the reception and
described the position of the president
and points Of entrance, and exit from
the temple and told where he stood.
when the fatal shots were fired
heard two shots. Immediately turned
sto the left and saw the president stand
Ing stilll and deathly pale. In front OF
him was group of men, bearing the
prisoner to the floor"
ss"Did you recognize any men in the
group?"
.sYes, artillerymen and two secret SER
vice men. They threw the prisoner to
the floor In second. I did not recog-
nixe the men who took the pistol away
from the prisoner. The hall was at once
cleared. The prisoner was surrounded
by detectives and secret service men,
and there was some controversy as to
who had "a right to the prisoner, but 1t
was quickly settled and he was taken
to- q side room and later to police head
quarters"
Edward r. Rice, chairman of the com
mittee on ceremonies in the temple of
music was next called. He said:
sAs chairman Of the committee on
ceremonies stood close to the presi-
dent. The line had been passing about
ten minutes and took my watch out OF
my pocket, indicating to Cortelyou the
5time for the reception was nearly up.
aAt this instance noted something
white passed over to the president. 1m-
mediately after that two shots rang out.
THE white object fell to the with the
man who had 1t in hand.
The hall was cleared and the presi-
dent taken to the chair
WAS the man who was borne to the
floor the some one who fired the shot?"
yes"
Cross-examined by Judge Titus, Rice
said there was no one between him and
the president to obstruct his vision. The
officers were on both sides of the line OF
people.
