abdominal ravity and of tho woupd, by
the most approved modern methods of

in :;. il..ug ■ f the criticisms that K"-
• r.tg«n ra> s -t.-iuM have been used to m-
e.i'e .he lai;,.-t I f. Mann says in his re-
port :
'V.'. Were . ft n asked why after the
operation, why nt did not use the X
Ray to find the bullet. In the first place
there were- at no tlm nnv signs that the
laiib-t was doing harm To have used
tho XRay simply to satisfy our curios-
ity. would not have been warranted, as
'I would In\ •• great\> disturbed and a'
t.oe.-d th' pati'nt. and would have see
Ject'-d him also to a certain risk Had
there been signs of alierss formation,
then the XRay would have been used
!>r <;%y|or'B report of the autopsy is
lengthy and detailed Th> wound in tiie
front wall of tiie stomach was founa
held int i'-t by silk sutures " The area
of the stomach wall around the posterior
wall of the stomach was also of a dull
gray color, but the sutures held the
wound Intact. Behind the latter wound
there was spot of discoloration in
which showed that sloughing process had
gone backward in the path of the. bullet
The gangrencous < avity four^ behind
the stomach involved the pacreas and the
surrounding loose tissues, the bottom of
the. blind pocket being formed by the up-
per end of the left kidney, which whs
found to be lacerated at the jioint to the
extent of about two centimetres.
The track of the bullet was then trac-
ed through grangreneous tissue be-
hind th - kidney to the muscles of the
back wall of the abdomen. The direction
of the bullet, however, coulid not be
traced any further. The search for the
bullet was most thorough and painstak-
ing. but In spite of all efforts it could B"t
be found, and th. autopsy had to be dis-
continued because it,,, time allotted to it
by the family of the late prealdeht had
already been exceeded:
I r. Gnylor's address:
"As we arc satisfied that nothing could
be gained by locating the bullet, whin
had set up no reaction, search for it Was
discontinued."
Examination of the heart muscles show
ed that it was atfectcd with well marl
ed family degenartion, and in son
places the muscle fibres showed groups
of dark brown granules, demoustratin c
a diseased condition of the cardiac mus-
cle.
Dr. Gaylord believes that the re pa r
to tiie stomach wounds had been effectP
and that the gangrene around thi s
wounds does net seem to have been the
result of any well defined cause. He .ii-
trihutes the gengreous • "lidltion of ti
tissues sokl> to the lowered vitality t i
the parts. The appearance of the gat.
grerteous tissues shows that the gangren
took place shortly after death.
In speaking of the causation of the cavi-
ty 'behind the stomach he. says it must
largely be attributed t the action of th -
mlsslo. it may. however, be said from
th>- rotation of a nearly spent bullet, or
from the simpio coiieusslon of the. bulk-:
as it rosaed Into the soft tissues. Th-
in J ury to the pancreas, producing a cav-
ity within it, occurred during the pass
iiiK ..f th bullet, bieause the .-avltj was
foun-i wailed ofi by the lllorln in an ad-
vanced stage of organization. There was
no leakage of jmnciHatlc fluid in,o the
surrounding tissues The extensive gan-
grene ol the panoreaa seems to hove beei
an important faotor In the case, though
it has ii ver bo *n sh wn how much of il.,-
organ must be except as showing the
track of the bullet. The diseased con-
ditio! "f the heart muscles shows w ..
the pulse was so frequent, and why It did
not respond to stimulation at the criti-
cal time.
The report of the bactialalst is largely
wliaht the dorters cull "negative," i .
it concerns rather tho absence of germs
than their presence.
A culture taken from the wound during
"iif.- showed several varieties of germs,
hut si ch a showing is rather expected in
su.-h -rises Ther were present two or
th'- ordinary germs of suppuration, and
on, gas forming germ of unknown Ide.i-

Will develop mines of untold wealth in Devil's Canon, (.lie seat of the
famous Mexican mines of the 17th Century. Assays show from
,600 TO $3,000 PER TOW
In Cold, Silver, Copper and Zinc. These mines were first discovered and
operated by Mexicans over 200 years ago and traces of their habitation arc-
daily beiny discovered. Old " 'dobe" houses, picks and shovels. These
pioneers were driven out by Indians and numbers of skeletons h ive been found.
This promises to be a new Eldorado and will surely
YIELD GREAT PROFITS.
If you are interested in mining and wish to consider a bona fide proposition,
