 Dr. Robinson was shot twice in the stomach by young Graf and died later while lying on the floor of Fowler's drug store on Dexter Avenue wh,re he had been hastily carried in a street hack.
 Graf received a pistol wound in the stomach just above and to :he right or the navel. His wound may prove fatal.
 It was about 3:3O o'clock when Dr. Rob- inson was brought to Fowler's drug store in a hack driven by William Iverson, a negro. The wounded man was accom- panied by Alma Benson, who resides at the corner of Dexter Avenue and Law excited and was calling wildly for a phy- sician. She was carried to police head quarters and detained as a witness.
 Dr. Robinson was removed from the carriage and carried into the drug store. From the nature of his wound 1t was easily discernible that his condition was desperate. Nasty attempts were made to secure a surgeon, but before one ar rived the wounded man had expired.
 The wound that produced death was in the stomach. and the powder-burned clothing showed that the weapon had beer held close to the body when dis charged. No blood exuded, and 1t is supposed that the wound bled internally. Death came at 3:55 o'clock.
 Coroner Tlce was notified of the affair, And. upon his order the body was removed to an undertaking establishment. The Coroner said it was probable that an in- quest would be held this morning.
