Cuts Made
 By lnterne At Hospital

Taking sterile scissors I made first one certical cut, and finding 1t not big enough I made another, con tinuation of the first, and then was able to place portion of the mans ln- testines back in the body, so as to be able to apply dressings and hot water bottles. It was the only thing to do if the man was to have a chance to live" This statement by Dr. Thos. F. Davis, a resident interne of. St. Vincent's hospital to Coroner Phelan wounds upon the body of Thomas McNally, Medford, Mass, shot by AL bert Dow, 63 Yale street, whose home he is believed to have been burglar izing early last Wednesday morning.
 Dr. S. M. Gar1ick, medical ex- aminer, who was present at the au- topsy, performed by Dr. H. R. De- I.uca of St. Vincent's hospital be1iev- believes the cute and bullet wounds are related. This opinion is not shar- ed by pr. DeLuca or Dr. Davis
 Evidence offered by all witnesses, to agree that the bullet entered the back. Dow states that the man was facing the house when he aimed, and must have turned as he fired. That the bullet came out the large wound, which Is the upper part of the open ing made larger by the two 1ncisions, Dr. DeLuca believes also that the other two wounds. to the right and left of the large opening were caused by fragments of the bullet. This he believes possible because of the fact that two other fragments were found in the bdomen.
 The man was admitted to the i1os- pita1 at 4:50 and had died at 5:30, before Dr. Francis P. Carroll, staff physician, had reached the hospital. That the medical examiner did not understand what had caused the cuts and was therefore led to believe they were stab wounds, was because pr. Davis kept an appointment in Wa terbury the next day and was absent until the completion of the autopsy. What was believed to have been a cu4 in the mans overcoat, directly over the wound and at the point the bullet is believed to have left the body, is Thought to have been 8 Jagged tear of the original bullet hole, made by Dr. Kornblut as he hastily unfaStened the unfortunate mans clothing, as he was in the ambulance en route to the hospital.
 Dr. Garlick was a. witness again shis morning. Capt. Regan of the Detective bureau denied that any att tempt had been made by the police. by statements to the press, to give She impression that the detective de- partment, gave no credence to the medical examiners sta bbing theory. Capt. Began said this was not possi- ble, because the police had not seen the body and were relying entirely on pr. Garlick's report, and working aIollS StHuSe lines, etAIiiouSh NlIey A1st been unable to find any evidence of stabbing either before or after the man was shot dead by Dow.
 Dow was placed on the stand early in the second session of the coroner's hearing. He told of anonymous tel ephone calls received from doctors Saturday and Sunday explaining the stabbing, as described later by witt nessess. He stated that in his opinion the sabbing did not occur any place near 63 Yale street, where he brought the man down with a shot from an Enfield army rifle. Superintendento of Police Flanagan and Detective Hol. brook attended the hearing.
