ficted upon Mr.. Morgan has not been
made known by the attending physi-
clans or members of the family. The
doctors content themselves with saying
that no vital organ was pierced. and
Junius Spencer Morgan last night re-
fused TO add to this statement. though
it was pointed out to him that the most
alarming reports had been circulated.
He would only say that his father was
resting comfortably.
It was not until II o'clock last night
that it was definitely established that
both bullets fired at Mr.. Morgan had
penetrated his hip. ard that neither
had pierced the abdomen.
The first shot struck the right hip
and went through in line almost hori-
zontal, DETECTING and slightly down

the groin and was detected much more
sharply downward. This shot came out
OF the upper leg.
