time the official bulletin gave those
details concerning the patients condi-
ton which hitherto have been merely
informally stated or the subject of
unverified reports. 1t was learned

an important one in the history of
Mayor Gaynor's case. Perhaps the
chief fear of his medical attendants
has been that blood poisoning might
develop The end of the two day Pc
riod commonly allowed for the ap-
pearance of such infection comes to-
day.
The two sections of the bullet fired
by James Gallagher, the discharged
dock emp1oye. remained embedded in
the mayors neck and throat. The pos
sibility of danger from these grows
less each day. If the infection period
be safely passed, practically the sole
apprehension of the medical men viii
be from the possibility that one of
these fragments lies so near an ar
terial surface that dangerous hem
orrhages may result. Such, a rupture
might come without warning.
Near the mayors bedside through
the night were Mrs. Gaynor; the son.
Rufus; Mrs. vingut. daughter. and

Stewart was the physician in charge.
