About II o'clock the trained nurses
who had charge at the bedside noticed
change. Acting on instructions,
the physicians were telephoned for.
At the same time the archbishop.s
two brothers were summoned to the
room, as we'll as number of priests.
1t was quickly seen by the physI-

in less than a quarter of an hour his
grace was dead. His last moments
were peaceful and without evidence of
suffering.
Besides the two brothers of the
archbishop, there were present h
