NEW YORK. April 25.-According to
officers of the White Star liner Cretic.
which arrived here to-day from Genoa.
Secretary Of State John Hay almost
died on the way TO Europe. One OF
the officers OF the Cretic said:
In spite of the stories that Secre-
tary Hay had a fair voyage, It is a
fact that he almost died on the way
out. There was one time when hope
was practically given up. After we
left here, Secretary Hay was taken to
his stateroom and put to bed. Mrs.
Hay nursed him till she collapsed on
the second day out For days IL was
a question whether Secretary Hay
would live or not. The day before we
reached Genoa, Mr.. Hay managed to
get up for the first time He went
TO the dining room supported by Lord
and Lady Gordon Lennox. but was
only able TO remain there for a part
Of the meal"
BERLIN. April 25.-Discouraging re-
ports have been received here as to the
true condition of Secretary Hay. who
recently arrived at Bad Nauheim in
the Grand Duchy OF Hesse. near
Frankfort. He underwent his first ex-
animation at the hands of Professor
Groedel. the celebrated heart special
ist. on Sunday Groedel found him In

gravated by a combination Of heart
trouble. nervous collapse and anaemia.
There is ground for stating that un-
less a miraculous change for the bet
ter sets in, Secretary HAY can never
again hope 10 return to activity. He
is thin. weak and extremely nervous.
The slightest noise disturbs him. His
private secretary has frequently to
stop reading newspaper articles and
dispatches aloud because Hay is an

Dr. -Groedel has prescribed an in
definite course of rigid treatment and
absolute rest. The specialist is not
willing to go so far as to pronounce
the Secretary's condition hopeless. but
Is quoted as regarding it as alarming
in the highest degree
- Secretary Hay assured his inter
viewer that he was completely out OF
touch with the political situation OF

Werner Sandberg, a tall and ath-
letic young student from Finland. has
sought refuge in San Francisco to es-
cape the grim purpose of the Cars
police 10 inplicate him in the assas-
sination Of Governor Bobrikoff. He
wandered aimlessly about for many
espionage. but wherever he went the
watching eyes Of relentless sleuths
were on him. He has finally made his
way 10 this city TO rest his nerves.
1t is surprising that he was allowed
to leave the Cars domain and was not
arrested for alleged completely in the
assassination of the late Governor of
Finland. He regards himself fortunate
in now being able to breathe freely,
though he protests utter innocence of
the charge it was sought TO fasten on
him.
In speaking of his experiences Sand
berg had the following to say:
Immediately after General Bobrikoff
was killed the town was declared un-
der martial law and every one had TO
be in bed at o'clock
The authorities instituted a diligent
search for those implicated and many
an innocent person was made to suffer.
AT midnight they unceremoniously
kicked IN the front doors of homes,
pulled up the carpets, slashed open
the furniture coverings with their
swords and even cut the paper off the
walls in their eager search for incrim-
mating evidence
The morning following the assassi-
nation the police called at my home
and searched my room. Behind bu-
reau they found an anti-R Russian

man, the assassin, the contents of
which were in no way related to the
tragedy.

counsel. She was gowned in blue,
white revers and cuffs giving a touch
of contrast. She is dark and exceed
ingly pretty, an artist of ability ana,
her lawyers and friends assert. a good
and loyal little woman. She glanced
nervously at Whittell Sr. as he en-
tered the court with Attorney Han
lon, but was fully composed when
called to the stand.
She testified that no publication of
the facts OF her romance with young
Whittell had been made through any
fault of hers and she had respected
fully the requirements of the agree
ment exacted of her, the most i'm
portant clause of which follows:
IF during the period of six months
no publication In the public press is
made of said suit. or the legal pro-
ceedings therein. or of any of the mat
ters of said alleged breach of promise
or alleged marriage and no mention is
made of matters of relationship, or
matters of love, or matters of dis
agreement between the said George
Whittell Jr. and the said Florence NJ
Boyere, then this obligation to pay
Florence NJ. Boyere the sum of $500
shall be In full force and effect, but
otherwise 1t shall be null and void"
FACTS BECOME PUBLIC.
The first time Miss Boyere knew
the facts had become public, she said,
was when a reporter called to see her
with copies OF local newspapers set
ting forth that Attorney Hanlon had
stolen certain documents in the suit
brought against her and fed with them
to the East. Hanlon did not like this
reflection that he had stolen" the
papers in the case, and protested We
hemently, but McNab would have none
of 1t and insisted that the facts stand
as testified to.
They have taken this little
woman" said McNab. and fixed up a
contract by which they hope 20 swim
die her out of this paltry sum they
have promised her to right the great
wrong done her. We will prove that
she had nothing to do with the pub
lication of the articles in the press.
and they cannot escape their obliga-
ton by making any such plea
Miss Boyere was then questioned at
length as TO whether she had been
party to the publication of the ar
ticles, but she adhered rigidly TO her
statement that she was not.
Then Attorney Henry Owens. who
represented Miss Boyere during the
negotiations looking to a settlement.
was called to the stand. He testified
it was his understanding that Miss
Boyere was to be paid the $500 In
event she gave no facts of her relations
with Whittell Jr. TO the press, but he
did not take il that she was to be
held responsible for the acts of others.
He said that after the contract WIS
signed and delivered Hanlon had
stated that il would be void in event
anything got into the press through
any source, but Owens would not bind
his client to any such agreement.
The trial, which promises more in
teresting developments. will be con-
cluded this morning.
