At the M’Kinley Home
GUARD HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM PATROL DUTY.
——
MRS. M’KINLEY’S GRIEF
——
It Can Only Be Assuaged by Exercise and Mental Occupation—Dr. Rixey’s
Statement Concerning His Patient.
CANTON, O., September 21.—Dr. Rixey
said to-day: [“]Mrs. McKinley’s grief is intense. She is doing as well as could
be expected. However, too much encouragement should not be taken at this early
day regarding her.”
To all outward appearances, the McKinley home
to-day was but one of the comfortable homes of North Market street [sic], Canton’s
most desirable residence section. No guard surrounded the lawn, and no doorkeeper
stood at the door.
Within this home is a grief-stricken, heart-broken
woman, well nigh prostrated. She is showing remarkable fortitude and her friends
are encouraged to hope, but are still apprehensive. There has been no material
change in her condition during the past twenty-four hours.
She was one of the first at the house to arise
to-day. She said she had enjoyed a good sleep, and that she felt better than
at any time since the fateful night in Buffalo, when her husband was shot. To
Dr. Rixey she expressed a wish to take another drive to-day. Dr. Rixey says
his patient needs exercise and good, healthful mental occupation—not medicine.
