Death Caused by Heart Trouble.
The President heart gave trouble
from the beginning, but its erratic ac-
ton was at first thought to be due to
the shock of the wound, but when the
would had begun to progress favorably
the heart gave more trouble and anxi-

The Presidents death was due to
heart exhaustion, but some of the
physicians do not believe there was
organic heart trouble. The theory Of
at least one of the physicians is that
the original shock of the first bullet
over the heart had much to do with
the trouble which caused death.
