the count was thrown from his morse "llie
riding on Sunday in Van Cortianot al ~
and it was said that he was lying DANGER
ousIy injured in his apartments at w 10
East 3lst street.
Much mystery seemed to surround the
case a mystery that was made stronger
bv the statement of the count lahuldoS
who declared that though Beaufort said
that he was injured. she could see no IN
Jury on his body. and that he seemed III
good spirits and perfectly able 10 tax
with her. The landlady's statement dl-
rectIv contradicted the statement OF Beau
forts physician DR.. S. E. Kolle. OF No 10
East SD street, who said that his patient
was badly injured, and was practically
unable to speak.
During the day Or Kolle sent tele-
gram to Mr.. Kilgallen, advising nm 10
come to New York. and saying that IL
would be better TO have the count removed
to quarters where he could be better cared
for
According to dispatch from Chicago,
Mr. Kilgallen left Chicago yesterday after
noon for New York. The same dispatch
stated that the countess was already in
New York. but no confirmation of this lat
ter report could be obtained last night
When seen yesterday by a Tribune re-
porter DR.. Kolle seemed exceedingly angry
with Dr. Leonard lands, of No 14O East
23d street. whom he accused of lnterfer-
ing with his patient. Or. Lands soor
after the alleged accident was said to have
sent this telegram to Mr.. Filgalen:
Count thrown from horse. Seriously In
iured Fear coucussion of brain Come or
first train. VIII have to take him to hospi
tai"
It was said that this was Mr.. kilsallen
first intimation of the accident, and shortly
afterward it was reported that his daugh
ter had taken a special train from Detroit
where she had been visiting friends. to Jo1r
her injured husband. IT had recently beer
reported that the count and his wife were
estranged. but this Mr.. Eilgallen indignant
~ denied
DR.. KolIe said that he objected seriously
TO DR.. I.andess interference in the case
Count de Beaufort is seriously injured;
little better today, perhaps. but still prett1
badly off" said DR.. Kole. He can hardi!
speak. and ! have telegraphed his father
fn-Isw of the seriousness of his condition
7 expect MIR. Kilgallen will arrive here 10
morrow morning. However. 7 object to Dr
I.andes Interfering This is my case and
am a reputable physician
When DR.. I.andes was asked about Inf
share in the case he said that he had acte'
onIv as \ friend and denied that he hac
sent snv telegra phic dispatch to Mr. kilgal
len. He agreed however. with DR., kolle II
stating that Beaufort was badly injured.
II do not wish to interfere with Or
KoIIe." said DR. Lsndes. las he is the at
tending physician. I never sent any dis
patch to Mr.. Kilgallen. although I hav
talked TO him by telephone. have seen tn
young man. and find that. although he Il
badly injured. he is now somewhat better.
But Reaufort's landlady. when seen b.
the reporter. absolutely contradicted botl
Dr. KolIe and Dr. Landes as TO the seri
BUSINESS Of the patients condition
eft is nonsense to say that the young MAJ
IS badly injured" said the landlady. %
have talked with him a good deal. and h
hasn't a scratch on him. He may have fal
len off his horse. but ! guess he WASH
hurt much
A friend Of Beaufort who didn't wish hi
name used confirmed the landlady's state
ment-
He isn't badly hurt" said the friend
'T think he will be at his office tomorrow.
It was intimated by the friend that Beau
fort was about to sail for Europe withou
his wife
