hes Hospital this morning. On the even
Ing in question two unknown men entered
his home and robbed him OF 1870 in
money and jewels. The robbers inflicted
terrible injuries on him. and he grew
steadily worse. although he did not ap-
pear to be so seriously hurt the morning
after the crime
The wounds on his head did not heal
easily, and inflammation set in about the
contusions on the body. After he had
been thrown on the floor by one of the
men, the other leaped on him and broke
three of his ribs One OF the men also
kicked him on the upper abdomen. and
tie spot became the center Of painful in
fiammation. These injuries, the weak
ness of old age. and the sorrow over the
death of his wife, which occurred last
Summer, resulted in his death.
DR.. Morrison was born May Z, 1875. and
took his medical degree from the Uniyer-
sity of Maryland. He served with credit
ana distinction with the Fourth Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry and the Forty-eighth Penn
sylvania Infantry. He was widely known
IN the older military circles and in Balti-
more. He was an accomplished Hnguist,
ana MS admirers said that he knew twen-
V-eight languages so that he could
speak them fiuently. He had two sons
VINO survive him, as well as two sisters.

suspicion of completely in the assault. and
later released on $500 bail. was rearresr-
ed on the report of DR.. Morrison's death
