THE CAUSE OF DEATH.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Dr. Perry says
the first cause of Judge Chase's death
was rupture of one of the cerebral arte-
ries, a violent rush of blood burrowing,
as it were, through the texture and SUBJ
stance Of the brain, paralyZing the left
side. During the last twelve hours of
his life there was no evidence of vitality
except labOred breathing. DIR. Perry
said from all he learned Judge Chase was
quietly sleeping when the blOod-vessel
burst, and, flooding the brain, the pa
tient had slight commissions during the
day, but they gradually grew more fee
ble. DR.. Metcalf said the brain was ter
ribly bruised by the bursting of the
blood vessel. The immediate cause of
his death was compression Of the brain.
DR.. Clark, after describing his condition
after the first attack, said he suffered no
pain, and died an easy death.
