Dauuhters With Him

acknowledged by MIN the family re-
fuses to believe he has learned of the
murder of Mrs. Garfield.
Daughters With Him
When Mr.. Garfield left here in COM
pany with two of his daughters, Mrs.
J. M. Danziger, wife of j. M. Danziger,
Miss Florence Garfield and e. L. Do
heny and his wife, they went to visit
some of the properties Of Mr.. Garfield
| in Mexico.
| These properties were located near
| the town of Ebano.
After an inspection of them the Can
field party had planned to go to the
City of Mexico, but whether or not
the floods on the roads to that place
have interfered with the progress OF
the journey is not known.
Since no reply to the messages has
been received 1t is believed that Mr.
Garfield and his two daughters have
not learned of the fate Of the wife
and mother.
That Mr.. Garfield is in some remote
part of Mexico far from means of COM
lmunication with his family is evidenced
by the fact that for the first time in
many years he has not telegraphed
daily to his wife advising her of his
tim was always observed by Mr.. Can
field when he was travelling.
Second Shot Kills
DR.. Ralph Hagan, who resides at the
corner of Lake and West Eighth
street, and who was the first physician
to arrive on the scene and render aid
to the injured woman, confirmed the
statement yesterday afternoon that II
was the second shot from the muir
derers weapon that caused the death
of Mrs. Garfield
The second shot entered the body
near the center and ranged upward,
penetrating the large intestines. Death
was due to an internal hemorrhage.
The bullet from the second wound is
still in the body of the dead woman.
No effort has been made to remove
it, there being no necessity for such
action.
The first bullet from the assassin's
pistol entered the body about the CEN
ter of the breast and ranged toward
the left arm.
The bullet tore the membrane cover
ing the heart and penetrated the
left lung. 1t came out Immediately
opposite the fourth rib after fractur-
ing same and vas lodged in the sleeve
of the left arm. The bullet did not
enter the left arm, but where it struck
the flesh is plainly marked by a
blue black spot.
Many Mourners Call
Hundreds OF friends of the dead wo-
man, including many Of the leading So
ciety women of the city, called at the
residence of the Canfields yesterday af-
ternoon to express their grief and Of
fer their services in any possible man.
ner. Only the most intimate friends
were allowed to enter and view the
remains of the dead woman and try
to comfort those members of the fam
lily who were still home.
No motive for the horrible deed has
been found by the police, who say they
are investigating the case.
The prisoner with the blood of his
victim still on his hands is languish-
ing in the city prison, but aside from
attributing his awful crime to overuse
of opiates, has no explanation to make.
Little by little the story of the mur-
derer's life is being learned. Accord
ing to the police there is no question
about the mans intention to commit
murder. Yet in spite Of the fact that
Buck seems well balanced mentally
since he has passed from under the
influence of the drugs, which it is pos
sible he was under at the time of the
murder, there comes evidence of the
terrible work Of insanity.
Once in Hospital
Three years ago. in 1903, Buck, the
murderer, was an inmate of the county
hospital charged with insanity. Owing
TO his deplorable condition, both moral
ly and physically, say the physicians of
the county hospital, he was detained
there for several weeks.
What he has done since his release is
known only to the murderer himself
His stories of having worked in
Spokane Wash, and Chicago are ac-
cepted by the police as possibly
being true. However say the police,
the mans attitude warrants little ere
dence.
What his fate will be when the time
for his trial comes Is prophesied by all
who are familiar with the conditions
to be the severest punishment.
The police say that evidence that will
release him of the charge either owing
to insanity or any other conditions is
