Miraculous Escape

An examination by DR.. a. E. Schoon-
berg showed that Casey has perhaps
had miraculous escape. The bullet
had entered the wall of the abdomen,
escaping the intestines, and had come
out at he groin.
The thugs wounds, however were
pronounced fatal. One of Casey's bull
lets had gone through the shoulder. The
other. entering the groin, ranged UP
through theabdomen and lodged near
the heart.
At the hospital the thug gave his
name as Harry Hall. He said he was
26 years old, and that he had come here
from New York. He refused to give
his address. He declared that he had
a brother in college in New York He
stoutly asserted that he was alone in
the holdup tonight, and that he has
been working alone in all of his rob-
berries He admitted that it was he
who a few nights ago had held up the
bar of the st. James hotel.
In his hat was the name of CLYDE c.
Garfield He declared that he had
bought the hat in a second hand store
lie had thrown most of the money he
got from Madden's till into the lot and
his pockets contained only a knife
some skeleton keys and $3.50 in silver
In the pockets also were a laundry
ticket from J. Browns barber shop and
a card bearing the name of Margaret
Bell. 3s Bartlett alley. There were also
a number of theater coupons
Hall seemed to realize that his dea TIL
was near and made his confession
freely, though in surly tones He paid
tribute to the bravery of Policeman
Casey. He denied all knowledge of the
attempt which was made last Saturday
to hold up Madden's saloon.
Casey is married and has two chill
dren. He lives at 2s7 California avenue.
