Bullets Fired by Czolgosz
Cost Erie County $300 for Analysis Made by Chemists.
BUFFALO, Nov. 27.—It cost the county
of Erie $300 to find out that the bullets which were used by Czolgosz when he
fired the fatal shots at President McKinley were not poisoned, according to
orders made by Justice Hooker, in the Criminal Term of the Supreme Court this
morning.
Dr. Herbert M. Hill, Buffalo’s city chemist, was
allowed $150 for making a chemical analysis of the bullets, and Dr. Herman G.
Matzinger, who also assisted at the President’s autopsy, was allowed a similar
sum for making a bacteriological examination of the leaden pellets.
The allowance to Dr. Matzinger, of course, has
nothing to do with the sum which he may receive as one of the doctors who performed
the autopsy. Both physicians asked for more than was allowed, but the amount
of their demand is not made public. Justice Hooker considers that the allowances
he made are ample.
