SIR MoRELL MACKENZIE DEAD.
lie 1t Was who Treated the Late Em-
peror Frederick's Throat.


LONDON, Feb. 4.-Sir Morell Mackenzie,
the eminent physician, is dead
Sir Morell Mackenzie was born July Z,
1887, in Essex county, England His father
was d well known surgeon, and the son was
brought up to the same profession. He
was patronized 10y royalty and nobility and
acquired considerable wealth. Twenty-three
Years ago he founded the hospital for dis
Eases Of the throat, in Golden square, Lon
don and was always devoted to its service.
His fame as a throat physician caused him
to be called upon, by recommendation OF
Queen Victoria, to attend the late Emperor
Frederick thcn crown prince, when the
affection Of the throat, which ultimately
proved fatal, began to develop itself seri-
ously.
Dr. Mackenzie's engagement was not
pleasing to the German physicians, and q
bitter rivalry arose. DIR. Mackenzie took
the ground that the affection Of the crown
prince was not necessarily incurable, posi-
tion which, from a political standpoint, was
highly important and gratifying to the
crown prince and his English relatives, as
an ineuralAe disease would have disqualified
him for the German throne After the
death of Kaiser Frederick DR. Mackenzie
was pursued vindictively by the criticism oi
German medical men, being, on the other
hand, upheld by the English royal family
and the Empress Frederick. His connection
with the case brought him world wide fame
and also much annoyance. He published Q
defense Of his treatment which excited
much attention. DR.. Mackenzie had q
splendid advertisement Of his efiiciency as
throat physician in his clear, ringing voice
which showed that his own throat was II
i perfect condition. he was made a knight

the whole story to Sheriff John Dayton, of
Greenwich. The man who gave the details
of the plot was William McCann, who lives
on the West road, near Barnsville, AS soon
as Sheriff Dayton heard the story he, in
company with Prosecuting Attorney James
Walsh and ex-Sherif Noonan, started out
toarrest Charles Waterbury, Samuel Suther
land and James Mccain, who were stated
by William McCnnn to be the men con
cerned in the plot Charles Z. Waterbury,
who lives in West Stanwich, Is a charcoal
burner, and a nephew Of the Charles Water
bury who is the father Of the abducted boy
Samuel Sutherland, farmland, lives in
West Stanwich, and James Mccain lives on
the West road, and is a relative Of William
MeCann.
All Of Monday night and Tuesday the
news Of the abduction spread throughout
the surrounding country On Tuesday night
no clew had been found except the foot
prints leading westward for half Snile from
the Long Ridge church, where the boy was
met by his captors.
The Abduotors Weakened.
The father then decided to 60 to Millers
bridge, the lonely spot where he was ordered
to produce the 81, 900 il he wanted to recover
his child alive. Waterbury drove five miles
alone, from his house to the bridge which he
reached just at midnight He did not have
the s., 900, nor did he have any money what
ever He did, however, have dark lantern.
All was silent at the bridge, but as Water.
bury stood there waiting for the kidnapers,
who did not come, he was in plain view Of
over dozen armed farmers, who had been
in ambuscade since Q o'clock that night.
Had the kidnapers, who alluded to he'll a.
their home, they would have been captured
at any cost.
Finally after an hours waiting, the father
was signaled by the watching farmers, and
went home. The Middle Patent, West
Stanwich and Long Ridge roads which
meet at Millers bridge, were all guarded
and so determined were the farmers that
the criminals should not get away that ey
cry man who passed along the roads toward
tho bridge was halted.
Henry Miller for whom the bridge 4
named, was stopped BY the farmers as h'
was driving along in phmton, and detained
1 until he was identified.
/ While that midnight scene was beini
enacted at the lonely bridge and along tbs
country roads, far different one was goini
on in the retreat to which the kidnaper
had taken the abducted boy. Something
was going wrong with their plans.
