No Actual Witnesses, ‘There were no actual witnes: to the shooting, but the shots were heard by clerks and stenographers in a room separated from the office by a parti- tion. Bullets nicked furniture, shattered windows and ripped a hale in the office door. It was through this later, that a clerk, Charles E. Belt, peered. He saw the president dead on the floor, and Gray, a few feet away, bleeding and attempting to rise. Asked by the clerk who had done the shooting, Gray was quoted &s mutter- ing, “That’s obvious.” He sald no more. Police took possession of a pistol found by Gray's side with five unex- ploded bullets in its cylinders. From the floor, however, were taken 10 empty shells. At the hospital & second pistol, with one‘bullet, was taken from Gray’s clothing. Mrs. Byers Collapsed. Mrs. Byers was taken to the hospital, and when told of the death of her hus- band collapsed and was placed under the care of a doctor. No one was per- mitted to communicate with her.
