A man on either side supported him. His face was white from loss of blood and drawn with the pain of his injury. The physicians who were with him expressed their concern. Dr. Murphy was the one who expressed it most openly. “Blood poison is the thing we most fear.” he said. "We will take every possible precaution to prevent that.” , In the automobiles that accompanied the former president from the station to the hospital were the surgeons, some close friends of the colonel, summoned when the shooting occurred, and news paper representative-.
