In the morning his wife who was in an adjoining room heard stertorous breathing, and supposing that her husband was suffering from night-mare, with which he was sometimes troubled, rushed in to arouse him Her efforts failed, and becoming alarmed medical aid was sent for. Drs. Boulware and Murray responded, but they failed to arouse him from his lethargic condition. He lived about an hour after they arrived, Dr. Boulware remaining by his bedside until he expired.
