Around his bedside at the final
moment were many cardinals.

feebly moved his lips, his last ar
ticulate words being those used in
bestowing the benediction. Grad
ually the shadow Of death spread
over the pontiff, his extremities
became cold, his features assumed
the fixed rigidity Of death and DIR.
Lapponi noted his last fluttering
heart beats, which gradually be-
came slower and slower until they
finally stopped.
The news Of the pope's death
spread rapidly throughout Rome
and caused a most profound SEN
