The evening bulletin. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1887-1905, 1896-10-24

At about quarter of 2 o'clock Mr.
Crisp was seized with another attack,
and quite suddenly he passed into the
calm of death. The watchers saw it
and went down stairs for DR.. Holmes.
Judge Crisp's two daughters, Mrs. Fred
Davenport and Miss Bertha Crisp, and
his two sons, Mr.. Charles +. Crisp Jr.,
and Mr.. Fred Crisp, were at the Bal
lard House, ON Peachtree street. They
were quickly summoned. When they
entered the room Judge Crisp was still
conscious. He gave them look of rec
ognition, breathed few times and died.
He could not speak.
So quickly had the dread messenger
come that the stricken family stood ap-
palled in the death chamber.
Mr.. Crisp's death, while apparently
thus so sudden, was not unexpected by
the physicians who have been watching
his health. He had been declining for
several years. His last illness, how
ever, was Immediately occasiOned by an
attack of malarial fever which he con-
tracted at his home, Americas, a few
weeks ago, but which itself yielded to
treatment when he came to Atlanta.
He was considered convalescent and
only last Sabbath had ridden out. But,
when renewed health seemed within
view, he was attacked by congestion of
the lungs, which, added to the weak
ness of the lungs and heart, caused by
two previous attacks of pleuro-pneu-
monia, resulted in his death yesterday
afternoon.
The remains will be removed this aft
ernoon from the sanitarium to the state
capital where they will lie in state until
Z 80 o'clock Sunday morning, at which
hour they will be transferred to train
and borne under an appropriate escort
to Americas, Mr.. Crisp's home, where
the funeral will take place Sunday aft
ernoon at 3 80 o'clock.
DIR. j. B. S. Holmes, director OF the
Halcyon sanitarium, made the follow
ing statement of his illness and the
manner of the end:
Judge Crisp had been in i'll health
for the past several years. He had been
particularly 'unwell for the past six or
eight months. He had been suffering
for two or three years with intense
pains, coming at intervals, in the chest.
"He had two attacks OF pneumonia,
one about four years ago and the other
about two years ago. On account OF Ill
health he had to give up his joint de-
bates last summer with Hon. Hoke
Smith. After the speeches in June he
went to Asheville, N. c., and spent
some time there. From there he went
to Tate Springs, and remained until
about the middle of August then gong
to his home in Americas. There he
was taken with malarial fever. he
came to Atlanta for treatment. he
came here to the sanitarium on the 10Th
of September. / examined him care
fully and found evidence from his pre-
vious attacks of pleuro- pneumonia. HIS
fever yielded to the treatment and IL
DAYS ago he was considered GONZALES
cent. He was out driving several times
last week-even as late as last Sab,
bath-and was feeling unusually well
ON that day. Sunday night he was at
tackled with congestion OF the lungs
He suffered intensely all day. Monday
night and Tuesday he was still in pain
He was better Wednesday,

Thursday night he was visited with
very severe pains in the chest that &C.
