throughout Sunday and until it was
time for him to go to court Monday.
Suffering then from malaise and vague
indisposition, he;did not read the opin-
ion in the telephone case, but sat
through its reading, and then returned
to his home. He was wakeful Monday,
but on Tuesday morning symptoms of
acute bronchitis appeared, accompanied
by insomnia and great restlessness. His
condition Tuesday was not alarming,
but on Wednesday circumscribed pneu-
monia showed itself. During Thursday
night he was comfortable, and no par
ticular alarm was felt, but at 6 O'Clock
this morning failure of the hearts ac-
tion was observed, and at 6:10 he
passed away.
sx5ssS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
of the illnsss of Chief Justice Waite are
obtained from DR.. Caroline R. Wins
low, who has been the family physician
for the last thirteen years. The imme-
diate cause of his death. the doctor said.
was nervous failure of the action of the
heart, and it came with such startling
suddenness as to be absolutely ap-
palllng. There was not the vaguest
symptom of heart complication
throughout his sickness. Saturday
night the chief justice attended the
authors reception given by Senator
and Mrs. Hearst, but feeling slightly
indisposed he left their house early.
/. About half an hour after he arrived at
home he was taken with chill and i'm
mediately retired. At o'clock in the
morning DR.. WinslOW was called and
found the chief suffering acute pain in
his back and bones. Later ON in the
morning he felt somewhat better and
rested quite comfortably. At this time
he said to his physician in tone of in
Quiry that he must
ATTEND COURT ON MONDAY,
but was cautioned to take no chances
He persisted that he felt quite well
enough to ride to the capitol and return
and anticipated no unfavOrable results
from little outing. On Monday, after
his return, the physician called, and
found him complaining of soreness in
his right lung, and when asked to take
a long breath,said that the effort caused
him pain. An examination showed
that part of his right lung, two or more
inches in diameter, was hepatized. This
was accompanied with a slight cough.
He was extremely restless, as indeed he
had been from the first, and
his face was much flushed. He was
very wakeful during Monday night,
lying on his right side most OF the time.
He rested easier on that side, he said,
than ON the other or his back. While
his illness was by no means regarded as
critical, his physician on Tuesday sug
gested that his son, G. G. Waite, be tel
egraphed for, which was done. He ar
rived yesterday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock. The chief Justices condition
REMAINED MUCH THE SAME
during Tuesday morning. He was very
cheerful, and laughingly remarked to
those present that he did not know how
to be sick, but later in the day symptoms
of acute bronchitis appeared, and on
Wednesday symptoms of pneumonia
made their appearance in his affected
lung. He breathed hard and with
slight groan, and when asked if he was
in pain, smilingly replied that he was
not in pain, but he really did s'nOt know
how to be sick" There was no material
change during the day. He remained
cheerful. talking pleasantly with his
nurse and attendants. During the night
Of Wednesday and on Thursday he was
quite comfortable, no one feeling any
alarm, though naturally anxious. He
was getting along WE'LL every one be-

in as strong voice as he did in health.
The nurse, who remained during the
