this morning Ed. Bddle was lying IN

hls pulse was lao per minute, tsmpers'
iure 100 degrees, aud respiration about
20 per minute. John Biddle was con-
scious and talked In boastful strain.
Ell. Biddle is not expected to live until
noon, while John may live for some
days but ultimate recovery is deemed
impossible. Mrs. Soffel, at the Butler
county hospital, is 10 very weak con-
ton, bot her wound is not regarded
as dangerous unless complications
arise. The most remarkable hing Of
the whole affair ia that any OF them are
yet alive. John Biddle has two bullet
boles from large calibre revolvers 10
his stomach, one through tle int ,stlnts
above the right groin, four slug shot
wounds 10 the right side, nine 10 the
RI 1ht srm, and two 32 calibre revolver
holes Ia the roof of his mouth, put
there by himself. Oae bullet has been
removed from bis mouth and several
from his arm. One bullet entered his
stomach st almost the same correspond

any one, nor was he employed to COM
NIT such an act. He proclsims himself
a Christian. Mrs. Soffsl has developed
pneumonis. Her condition is more
serious than ever.
Butler, Pa, Feb. -2:15 p. m.-The
