No Reason Can Be Assigned For the Murderous Assault Upon the Well known Novelist and Magazine Writer The Would-Be Assassin Was a Professional Violinist Vic tim Had Received Many Threatening Notes, Telegrams avid Telephone Calls of an Abusive Ntiture. New York, Jan. 24. David Graham Phillips, novelist and magazine writer, was shot six times and probably mor tally wounded yesterday afternoon in front of the home of Schuyler Shelf Uln, Gramerr.y Park, North, Just as Mr. Phillips was about to enter tho former home of Stanford White, now the Princeton club, for his mail. The shots were fired by Fitzhugh Coyle Goidsborough, a professional violinist, who was a former student in the academy school of Harvard but who of late hag been rooming on the top floor of the Rand School of Social Science, when ho has been giving vio lin lessons when not writing verses. After shooting Phillips, doldsbor ough shot himself in the right temple and dropped dead. Did Not Know Assailant What caused Goidsborough, who waa waiting near the entrance to tho Princeton club at an hour when Mr. Phillips usually calls there for his mail, to Ore the shots Is not known When the wounded man was carried into the club he still was conscious and when ask?d whether he knew the man who Bhoc him, Phillips answered that he did not. Later In the day, however, it wa3 learned from Harrison W. Phillips, a brother of David Graham Phillips, that for son.o time the wounded man has been receiving letters, notes, telegrams and telephone calls of a threatening and abusive nature not only at his home in the National Arts club, on the south bid" of Gramercy park, but at the Princeton club. . Harrison Phillips said that no namo was attached to these communications but that in .view of the shooting he supposed Goidsborough had sent them. Mr. Phillips was carried to the re ception room of the club and laid on a rug while the telephone operator notified the police and also called for an ambulance and for Dr. .Eugene Ful ler. Dr. Fuller arrived at the club at the same time that the ambulance came from Bellevue. Mr. Phillips was car ried out through a lane which tho police had made through the huge crowd which blocked the street In front of the club. A few feet away lay the body of Goidsborough. The police covered Goldsborough's body and it lay on ths pavement until It was removed to the morgue after first being takm to the police station to be searched. Goldsborough's Body Sent to Morgue. When Mr. Phillips reached Bellevue he was taken to a surgical ward where lie remained pending the arrival of Dr. John B. Walker and Dr. Lucius W. Hitchcock, visiting surgeons at the hos pital. Dr. F. W. Donovan, the houso surgeon, and his assistants decided that Mr. Phillips' heart action was too weak to permit them to administer opiates for the relief of his suffering They were obliged to give him stimu lants. Mr. Phillips was taken to the oper uting room ond It was nn hour before the doctors were ready to take him bwck to the surgical ward. Altogether there was 11 perforations from the six bullets only one of them remaining In his body. Three of the bullets had dropped to the ground upon his ar rival at the hospital. ' ' Dr. Walker nnd Dr. Hitchcock per formed the operation. Six steel 32 calibre bullets from a colt automatic pistol entered Mr. Phillips' body. All of these bullets except one In tha thigh enme oat of the body, making 11 perforations altogether,- Victim's Lung Is Punctured. The most dangerous wound was In the right side of the chest. This bul let had D'lncturcd the lung and the doctors especially fear this wound as It may lead to pneumonia. There was i superficial wound of the abdomen below this wound and two more flesh wounds In the right hip. Another bullet had tore the flesh of he left forearm and another, the on ly one remaining In the body Is lodged In the right thigh. The physicians said that as the wounds were cleansed promptly nnu as the bullets were of etecl they hoped tint blood poisoning would not set in. ' At first It was said that Mr. Phil lips had been shot through the ab domen but Dr. Hitchcock denied this. "The abdominal wound," said Dr. Hotchklss aftr the operation, at first gave us the most concern but we have found that the wound in the breast is the most serious. The abdominal Is me rely superficial. The chief thing we had to do with this wound was to scfl that antiseptics were thoroughly ap plied to It. "There is grave danger, however, that pneumonia may develop from the wound In tlm chest. This bullet went through the chest, puncturing the lung and dropped out at the back. But on tho whole I think there Is s good chance for recovery." INJURIES AR SERiG LIS GAME WARDENS ACTIJ Seize 567 Birds and Fie port 30Case of Violation of Oyster Law. Albany, Jan. 24.
