Stanford University and that its doors
were in danger OF being closed.
On January 20 of this year, three
weeks before Mrs. Stanford sailed for
Honolulu, DR. Cluness of the Pacific
Mutual, and others were invited to dine
with Mrs. Stanford al her San Fran
cisco home. James Carolan was there
also They had been conversing about
the Pacific Mutual and Mrs. Stanford
said to DR.. Cluness:
do you know, doctor, my husband
was it's first president and held policy
No. 1. I want to relate little bit of
history about it. My husband passed
away on June 81, 1898. and as soon
thereafter as practicable Mr.. -
(naming a prominent railway magnate
now dead), was informed of the oc-
currence. He was asked to tell me
what he could do for me financially,
for L required considerable money for
my personal necessities and for the
needs of the university, whose current
expenses had not been paid for several
weeks owing to our having been unable
to procure the required funds. And
what do you think. doctor? Mr..
sent me a message to the effect that
he could not do anything. A day or
two afterward they sent me from the
Office a couple of boxes full of papers,

and, while examining them, with the
assistance of my secretary, Miss Ber-
ner, we came across what appeared to
be policy of insurance upon the life
of my husband. Miss Berner remark

Surance policy but never having
heard my husband say that he had
taken insurance upon his life, / re-
marked that it must be something else
Closer examination. however, induced
us to send for Mr.. Wilson. He inform
ed me that the document was a policy
of insurance. A day or two afterward
called at the Pacific Mutual office,
and to my utter surprise returned with
check for $4,000. the amount of the

Mrs. Stanford was reminded that the

of the country about Assouan, in Upper
Egypt, to such an extent that she was
led to seclude herself in the hotel there
and finally to leave the region alto
gether.
She knew that an attempt had been
made to poison her with strychnine in
San Francisco, and that knowledge
might very well have worked to
strengthen any fear of violent death

qualms at the stomach, caused by the
dose of Strychnine that she had taken
that was yet not enough of itself to
kill, her mind may readily have leaped
to the conclusion that she had been
poisoned again. That would have led
to the eXclamations said to have been
uttered by her in her last moments.
Her personal attendants, knowing like
wise of the former attempts to poison
her. would have accepted her conclu-
sions, naturally and would have stat
ed them in their own behalf to the at
tending physicians.
Every weIl-read doctor knows that
hysterical patients simulate any disor-
der perfectly. 1t is only necessary that
the mind of the patient be sufficiently
impressed. That is one of the strange
phenomena of the human brain. Under
proper conditions even tetanic spasms,
which characterized Mrs. Stanford's
last illness, and which are among the
strongest indications of strychnine
poisoning, might appear. In his Med
ical Jurisprudence and Toxicology'' DR..
John j. Reese, late professor of Medi-
cal Jurisprudence and ToXicology in
the University of Pennsylvania, says:
'As regards hysterical tetanus, al
though it's very existence has been de.
MED by some, especially in the male,
it is admitted by numerous competent
authorities; and, inasmuch as among
other forms it may assume that of
tetanic spasms, and might occasion
doubt under peculiar circumstances,
the examiner should ascertain the pre-
vious history of the case, which will
serve to clear up the diagnosis"

surance Company, of which the late
Senator Stanford was the first presi-
dent. inclines to the belief that Mrs.
Stanford carried no insurance what
ever on her life.
An interesting story was received
by Mr.. Hutchins in the Alameda mail
regarding the life insurance policy held
by the late Senator, with which Mrs.
Stanford was enabled TO keep the doors
of the Stanford University open dur
ing the panic of 1898.
In order that the story may be fully
comprehended the Pacific Mutual was
organized in May 1868, and Senator
Stanford became the first president. At
his request policy No 1 was issued
upon his life. it's issuance having been
ma de a prerequisite by himself to his
acceptance of the presidency, and at
his death. in June 1898, the claim was
paid 1t will be recollected that a fl

throughout the whole of the United
States, rendering the procuring of ready
money almost impossible. especially to
those requiring considerable amounts.
