throat had been slashed by his stepson

The last effort failed. Hackett died
The most strenuous efforts were made
to rally the dying man for a final inter

make a statement The physicians ad-
justed a stretching apparatus to his
head, drawing it away from the should

and let the brain revive temporarily.
The weights were put on and for
hours the doctors watched for some indi-

times a flicker of life seemed to come 10
the face, but it faded again before any
thing had been spoken. Turn by turn
the doctors watched until there was no
longer any hope that the patient could
be revived.
