Soft Lead Bullet.
The bullet in Col ROOsevelts BODY
is at the lower corner Of a right an
gled triangle, the apex of which Is IN
the middle Of the steTnum perpendicu-
larIy opposite the missile and the 9TH
er corner Of which is the supra sternal
notch
The bullet in Col Roosevelt is of the
soft lead variety. It is OF large caliber
and from the sE1iagraph apparently IS
defOrmed to acOnsiderable degree. Be
fore it entered the colOnePs body 1t
passed through 100 sheets Of heavy
linen paper, a steel spectacle case and
a number Of layers Of cloth
THE bullet did not mushroom as
might have been expected" said Dr.
McCauley; for that reason it cut a
comparatively small hole in the skin
and did not reduce a large portion OF
the nearby tissues to pulp as IS the
case in a soft bullet that mushrooms
in animal tissue after it hits a bone
think the bundle Of papers checked
it and the spectacle case for some rea-
son failed to spread the bullet much
''The wound is about big enough to
y
it does not appear to get very much
bigger. 2 would call it a clean wound. /
The skin is torn at the surface in a
ragged way. but not badly, and there /
is little bruising
There is not a sign of suppuration }
in the wound. The flesh is in good
condition and seems to be healing [
without evidence Of complication. If I
there were pus forming deep in the I
wound we would know it at once by 1
an unusual rise Of temperature.
