"Good pracious!" cried be. "Who'd

A small boy presenltd himself, eyeing

"i'es that is, master." said Mr. Keith
with dipnlty. "What con 1 do for jou!"
"Nothing, I guess. Murm sent me over

Having thus rovlded for a sure and

these specific facts, was to Inmre n clear
and unobstructed passage to the locality
of the victim by such an arrangement of
the chulrl and sofas as would place the oth

Shortly after they entered the fatal box
the President seated himself lu the chair
designed for blm by the assassin. Mrs.
Lincoln took one near him, Miss Harrs
the one at the opposite corner, fronting the
a idlrnce, and Major Ratbburn seated him
self npon the tola, a few feet behind MI'S

to remain near the box as he might be

went to the door of the box, put on his

The wound was on the left side of Ihe head,
behind, on a line with and three Indus
frnm the left ear. The course of the ball
was obliquely forward, toward the right
eye, crossing Ihe brain obliquely a few
Inches belrind the ryr, where Ihe ball lodg

fragments of boue which had beeo driven
forward by Ihe ball, The ball was found
Imbedded In the anterior lobe ol Ihe right
hemisphere nf the brain. Tim nrblt tiiales
of bolh eyes were filled with e-xtrnrojatul
blood. The serious Injury to the r If, lit or.

result of the Intense t'.iock of so large a pro

and from which the neck had been clipped.
A shnvlnsr of lead had beeo removed from
the ball in Its psisago through the bones
of the skull, and was found In the orifice
of the wound. The first fragment of bone
was found two and a half Inches within (he
